LOGistics - Pillow or Table Mat - STITCHING WITH ECLECTIC TEXTILES

Learn to sew using alternative textures with Lynn Schmitt, author of The Art of Mixing Textiles In Quilts. Our LOGistics pattern can be made as either a large pillow or table mat. The project features mixed textiles; wool, silk dupioni, silk matka, wovens, batiks, traditional and contemporary cottons. Learn to mix different types of fabric with traditional cotton; learn the inherent properties of alternative textiles, what to do and what NOT to do. Oh the possibilities when you begin to add what were once considered forbidden textures into your quilting and sewing projects.
