This ‘freestyle’ technique is for you if you want to:
- Create your own patterns.
- Working from your own photos.
- Be able to take liberties with the design, adding stitch and other embellishments.
Is this technique suitable for beginners?
It is assumed that readers have some familiarity with sewing or quilting and know how to use a sewing machine and work free-motion stitching.
Nevertheless, the technique is also suitable for the adventurous novice.
Follow along with the construction of a sample quilt, and be inspired by images of other artworks inspired by stained glass.
What this mini-guide is not:
- Not a traditional ‘How to quilt’ book.
- Not a ‘How to do free-motion stitching’ book.

For those who love ebooks, this book is perfect as there is nothing you need to print in order to follow the techniques.
But I know many stitchers prefer a paperback edition, which is the reason for its inclusion!
