So I googled Rosemary Wilkinson's name and found several books. I checked them out on amazon.ca and found one book has a hand tied quilt on it's cover. The book is The Weekend Quilter published May 2002. Could this be the book?

I too would like to know the name of this book. Does anyone know yet? Sounds interesting. I have never done a tied quilt. Time to do it. :)

I made a quilt for my niece and tied it, except instead of tying it, I did a whip stitch, then sewed a 1/4" pink satin ribbon and tied a bow with it, then tacked it down so it stayed a bow. It was a real pain but I loved how it turned out. It's been about 3 years now, so I don't know how it's held up over the years of use, but it was cute. I've never liked the look of tied quilts, but I admit it's a lot easier than quilting on a machine, although that is my preference - love the feathers!

Maybe people are getting worn out with all of the "quilting" options. Back to basics?!!

My grandmother and mother tied all their quilts. I like both tied and stitched quilts. Pick what works best either for you or for the quilt's pattern and go for it.

Rodney, do you know the title of the book yet? I'ld love to know it.
|
The book I have is a different weekend quilt book by Rosemary Wilkinson, and the quilts aren't tied. Oh well - thought I had the answer for a moment there!
|
I still have hope that she'll find that book and post the name of the book. I've been checking every day to see if I can find it for us but no luck yet
