FIT FOR REAL PEOPLE, 2ND EDITION
: Sew Great Clothes Using ANY Pattern
[Pati Palmer, Marta Alto & Jeannette Schilling]
Presented in a new edition that adds updated pattern industry news and revised rules for selecting pattern size, this easy and practical fitting system requires no measuring, no drafting skills, no muslin mock-ups -- and it works with all brands of tissue paper patterns. Real people of all ages are featured in photographs that explain the steps of cutting out pattern pieces, pinning them together, and adjusting the fit. Special attention is paid to tricky challenges such as accommodating a full bustline, adjusting sleeves, or reworking a garment to make it more flattering, as well as alternative fitting methods such as draping and computer design. Metric conversion charts, charts for comparing pattern company bodice measurements, and a history of American dress design (Just where did size 10 come from?) make this book a versatile reference.

IRISH CHAIN IN A DAY -- SINGLE & DOUBLE, 2ND EDITION
[Eleanor Burns]
The Irish Chain is one of the most universally known patterns dating to pre-American Revolutionary War times. While evidence is lacking that this pattern came from Ireland, it has been suggested that the Irish Chain pattern may have been inspired by a similar Irish weaving pattern. Whatever the origin, the Irish Chain is a timeless pattern that continues to delight quilters today. The original 'Irish Chain in a Day' was first published in 1986 in a black and white format. While this book remains a best seller, Eleanor wanted to update her book and add balance to the quilt.

QUILT THAT WALKED TO GOLDEN
: Women & Quilts in the Mountain West from the Overland Trail to Contemporary Colorado
[Sandra Dallas with Nanette Simonds; Photography by Povy Kendal Atchinson]
Inspiration drawn from letters, journals, historical sources, and -- essential vehicles of women's storytelling through the years -- quilts fills this narrative re-creation of the history of the West from the time of the early pioneers to the present day. The purpose of quilts and the art of quilting provide a window into the lives of these women, their friendships, and their sorrows. Quilts provided warmth and occasionally served as death shrouds during the gold rush years. They were nailed to the walls and floors of rough-hewn cabins of shanty mining settlements. Quilting bees provided a rare opportunity for female fellowship at the turn of the century. The voice of a masterful storyteller brings to life the heroic and heartbreaking stories of generations of women in this sensitive and artistic portrait.
REVIEW: "For the sheer volume of research and a fascinating read, we recommend this book as our reviewer's choice" -- Patchwork & Quilting, April 2005.

WORKS ON CLOTH
: Imagery by Artists of Baker Lake, Nunavut
[Marion Scott Gallery; Introduction by Robert Kardosh]
The small northern Canadian community of Baker Lake has been home to some of the foremost Inuit artists of contemporary times. While recognised widely for its stone sculpture and prints, it is in the realm of textile art that this remote community has made its most important mark on Canadian art. Invented by Baker Lake women artists in the early 1970s and practised to this day, Inuit wall hangings are a form of appliqué in which images are cut from felt and sewn to wool backings, often enlivened by embroidered surfaces. At once contemporary and traditional, these colourful images range in subject matter from the supernatural to the folkloric and ethnographic.
