Creative Journeys: Fun & Easy Textile Surface Design Techniques

4.4 out of 5 stars (43)

Do you run your hands over surfaces, walk around looking at the tiled floors in churches, take close-up shots of leaves and flowers or sculptural details in buildings? Do you watch how the light changes in a sunrise or the randomness of nature?

This book guides you through the ways in which you can turn these beautiful patterns and textures into stunning textiles.

The first in a series of books titled ‘Creative Journeys’, Lisa Walton imparts expert guidance, tips and techniques coupled with over 140 illustrations to help inspire and encourage you to turn your ideas into creative textiles.

With a focus on fabric painting, stamping, decorative rubbings, metallic foils, simple screen printing, stencilling, creative stitchwork, textural quilting, Lisa shows how these can be used to create stunning textile art.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am an Australian quilter and have been quilting for over 20 years. I am absolutely obsessed with colour and texture and shapes and incorporate them all into my quilts. I have had my quilts published in all the major Australian quilting magazines as well as many overseas ones. I also teach workshops all over the world and have been so lucky to teach, not only all over Australia and New Zealand, but England, Scotland, Wales, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and the USA.

In 2010 I was thrilled to be awarded the Jewel Pearce Patterson Scholarship for Quilting Teachers awarded by the International Quilt Association in Houston USA. This prestigious award opened many doors for me including a chance encounter with C&T Publishing. Never one to miss an opportunity I discussed a few ideas that had been rattling around in my head. Amazingly my submissions were accepted and Beautiful Building Block Quilts is the result.

I live in beautiful Sydney Australia with my husband Peter and together we have a business called Dyed & Gone to Heaven where we create gorgeous hand dyed fabrics as well as supplying textile art supplies.
