Aubrey –
“Pigment Patchwork isn’t just a wonderful read–(& it really is that!), it is also an encouraging guide through what is seemingly an intimidating artistic process. What Rhonda does so well in this book is break down her process into small, manageable bits. She then weaves them together as if telling a thrilling story. You can really hear her artistic voice throughout the text.
As a beginner quilter, I found this book to be very encouraging; I had never thought of including fabric embellishment beyond applique, but after reading, I am so excited to try my hand at some of these techniques. I found the projects included in the book along with the Resource section in the back to be particularly helpful. I couldn’t recommend this book enough!”
