Contemporary Patchwork - Arounna Khounnoraj

From textile artist Arounna Khounnoraj, co-owner of Bookhou, Contemporary Patchwork is a paperback guide to modern patchwork, quilting and appliqué, with an emphasis on fresh surface design techniques. Designed as both a foundation in textile design and a springboard into improvisational patchwork, it encourages you to take inspiration from your environment while exploring elements of colour theory.

Across its pages, you’ll move from fabric surface design into sewing and appliqué techniques, learning how to decorate with stitches to bring projects to life. The book includes ten original projects, spanning small quilts through to bags and pouches, and offers guidance on using every scrap and drop of your materials to incorporate sustainability into your practice.
