PATCHWORK - CATHERINE LEGRAND GEBUNDEN

A vibrant  in-depth survey of the techniques and traditions of patchwork around the world. What
do Korean bojagi wrapping cloths  Cameroonian Bamileke boubous  Peruvian montera hats and
Hungarian cifraszür shepherd cloaks have in common? Each is made using the ancient technique of
patchwork - the art of juxtaposing fabrics and motifs to create blankets  clothes  accessories
and more. Catherine Legrand  who has spent many years travelling and researching textiles  has
a deep knowledge of the techniques and traditions that characterize patchwork. Pieced together
much like the gorgeous textiles it portrays  her beautifully illustrated book features over 300
dazzling photographs of patchwork around the world. She takes the reader from Europe and the
Americas to Africa and Asia  where these ancient traditions still survive and patchwork is part
of the fabric of everyday life. Textile artists  patchwork enthusiasts and travellers alike
will find an endless source of inspiration on the pages of this celebration of the beauty and
diversity of patchwork.
