You will learn how to create your own landscape quilt with her easy techniques: fusible tiling, invisible machine applique, free-motion stitching, fabric dyeing and painting. Gloria's mosaic tile process helps you to capture the essence of natural light with your fabric selection. Gloria also reviews basic design principles., Loughman tiles while others toil. Tiles, in geometric shapes cut from fabric, are to the quilter what tesserae are to mosaicists. The tiles add background and movement, color and light. Loughman echoes elements of impressionist and pointillist art by manipulating light on quilts as Cezanne and Seurat did with small brush strokes on canvas. "Tiling large areas of your quilts," she writes, "allows you, in some ways, to follow in these master painters' footsteps." By playing with light and color, she designs additional dimensions to quilted landscapes, thereby creating smashing results. Her instruction book does not begin with the tiles, however: she starts with design; teaches color and value and hue; and considers fabric selection, including a chapter on customizing fabric through dyeing and painting. After explaining how to make, place, and stitch down the tiles, Loughman works through construction of four landscape projects. These projects are sophisticated, certainly more dramatic than her writing, which borders on the banal. Loughman's book is made more beautiful to look at by her husband's vacation photography.--Publishers Weekly; 12/3/12, In her search to add the illusive element of natural light to her art quilts, Gloria studied the great artists of the Impressionist period. her tiled backgrounds invoke the works of that art movement, and infuse her landscapes with a sense of light that provides both illumination and movement.
