Whitework Quilting

Whitework Quilting - BACK IN PRINT (Limited Edition - Spring 2008)

Whitework Quilting combines the best of how-to, history and art. It is the comprehensive guide for designing wholecloth and adding trapunto to your quilts. Over 60 quilts showcase this historic style in clear photographic detail. Hardcover, 192 pages and comes with a satin marker ribbon.

Whitework Quilting was originally published in 2004. In 2006 this book went out of print. Recently, interest has been increasing and we’ve had a steady stream of quilters requesting that the book be brought back into print. We have decided to do a limited edition reprint. This book is available now and you can order through our secure on-line store.
