A Story in Yarn - How to Design and Knit an Intarsia Heirloom Quilt by Dee Hardwicke. The author is an artist and knitter who is passionate about creating beautiful and accessible pieces and in this book explains how to make your own heirloom knitted quilt - from designing, making templates, working intarsia motifs and finishing the project. Flowers, trees and plants through the seasons are used as inspiration for the designs. Single motifs would be stunning on their own as cushion covers or other home accessories.
