Timeless, unique, and adaptable, these designs have been elements of creative expression for many years. Now, favorite patterns from Joyce's popular Native American design books are reprinted to enhance your works of art. Over a dozen new patterns, plus more than a hundred patterns from her previous two books include bold geometric designs, stylized plants and animals, and graceful swirls. Sections on continuous-line patterns for machine quilters and patterns that are ideal for quilt labels show the versatility of the designs. Many of the patterns can be used as applique motifs, embroidery designs, or can be colored with fabric paints or crayons. A bonus wallhanging pattern features large, open blocks to showcase your favorite quilting designs. Rich in heritage and beauty, these designs reflect the legacy of the craftmakers and artisans that inspired them. The patterns represent a wide range of Native American cultures and can be used on all types of quilts, including traditional, contemporary, and ethnic.
