Sisterhood of Scraps


In A Sisterhood of Scraps*, Lissa Alexander compiles quilt patterns made by seven different designers:. Susan Ache, Kim Brackett, Barbara Brackman, Sheryl Johnson, Laurie Simpson, and Sandy Klop. The subtitle is 12 Brilliant Quilts From 7 Fantastic Designers. For some of them, she makes her own version of the quilts based on the theme. Although there are twelve quilts, some of them are quite similar.


The writing in the introduction and the biography of Lissa are more chatty and less formal than I am used to seeing in a quilt book, and lends a more casual feel to the book. There is a certificate in the back of the book to prove that you are a part of the sisterhood.


The quilts are renditions of traditional quilts, made with beautiful combinations of scrap fabrics.




This one is one of my favorites in the book.





I  received a review copy of Sisterhood of Scraps* from Edelweiss.

  2. They are gorgeous quilts...injustice love scrap quilts. Probably partly cause that is what I grew up with my mom making. And it was actual scraps from clothes making. Or at one point some boxes of scraps from a shirt factory.
