Fresh Vintage Sewing - Fig Tree Quilts
!
webfvflex

The new Fig Tree book, Fresh Vintage Sewing, is a collaborative collection of quilting, sewing & pincushion projects interspersed with vintage vignettes and shots of Joanna’s home, studio and garden.

It is brimming with over 25 projects and dozens of decorating ideas! Organized into 5 separate palette groupings each ensemble focuses on a different room in the house, a different color scheme and a different feel while all maintaining that wonderful Fresh Vintage™ feel we have come to expect from Joanna’s patterns, colors and fabric collections. 

A must for every quilters and sewers inspiration library!

I bought this book for myself and liked it so much I decided that maybe others would too.  Its a great book for beginners as well as established quilters as it provides a lovely trip down Joanne Figueroas path.

An introduction by Joanne and an interesting read about fabric selection, a quick tutorial on cutting fabric, applique, borders & finishing techniques are just the begining!  There are 5 quilts and many projects in this book as well as many pictures of fabrics, studio & yummy things.

I found this book to be inspiring and I intend to make several things I have seen within the pages.  Her fabric has its own unique feel to it and she has passed this on in her book & projects.

A booklet of 16 "Turnover" recipes from Fig Tree & Co. by Joanna Figueroa.

 

This is a lovely booklet with well laid out quilt "recipes".  Each project has a materials list and information on fabric choices. 
There are cutting, piecing & assembly instructions also which are easy to understand & infomative.  I really like the way Joanne Figueroa sets out her books with coloured diagrams and good instructions. 
She gives you ideas for fabrics to use other than the current line she has out.  This booklet is also very good to use if you have bought her Patisserie line of fabric!
