<p>Express your creativity and your respect for Mother Earth, too! Way better than paper or plastic, the SUPERmarket bags showcased in this book are diverse and unforgettable! Try out the signature styles and innovative techniques of many of your favorite quilters, artists, and teachers: Virginia Avery, Rachel D.K.Clark, Karen Eckmeier, Kaffe Fassett and Liza Prior Lucy, Diane Gaudynski, Judy Hooworth, Jean Ray Laury, Lonni Rossi, Jane Sassaman, and Susan Shie. Respected quilt book author and editor Eleanor Levie shares her own whimsical designs, too, along with her tote-ally reliable how-to's for all 20 projects. The first section, called On the Fast Track, lets you start with a ready-made bag, serving as a foundation or lining. In the second section, Sew Simple, you'll get a load of several simple, sewn constructions, some quilted, some not. And the third section, Play with Paint, includes free-wheeling fun (to put you in touch with your inner child) plus sophisticated surface design (to bring out your inner artist). Enjoy gorgeous photos, dozens of tips for customizing, personalizing, adding pockets, choosing the best handle or strap. Mix and match features from the various bags, and add your own ideas, UFOs, or orphan blocks, to design your own bag! While all the projects are fun, easy, and quick, they'll do you proud. The book, first in a make it green series, helps you do the planet proud, too. After all, these are the market bags you will remember to take from your car into the store! These are the welcome gifts that need no gift-wrap, and that friends and family will be talking about--and using--for many years to come! These bags are truly unforgettable!</p>

<p>Take a tame, familiar quilt block and unleash it to create a fresh, modern look. Eleanor Levie and five quilters famous for innovation put their spins on well-loved classics. Gorgeous photos make you gaga for wonky hearts, skewed nine-patches, a crazy-quilted star, split Log Cabins, a basket gone bonkers, and more. Guided by easy how-to's and more than 120 step-by-step photos, even beginning quilters can make super-cool pillows, quilts, wall hangings, and bags. There are also plenty of hands-on extras: tips and tricks for color, composition, and design, plus workbook (er, rather playbook) sections that offer lots of jumping-off points to tweak tradition and create your own original blocks. In short, you'll be wild for these bold takes on old favorites!</p>
