This workbook will teach you a new way to quilt: the art of zen quilting! Learn to quilt with a new calmness and confidence. Make your favorite hobby as relaxing as it is creative. Machine quilting can be stressful, especially if you are a beginner or are taking on a relatively big project. Combining Zentangle with the art of machine quilting breaks down the process and the designs so you have an easier time following the patterns and creating the project of your desire. Author Pat Ferguson is a certified Zentangle teacher and has been quilting for decades. When she took up Zentangle, she helped pioneer the concept of zen quilting. She wants to share it with the world. The Zen Quilting Workbook walks you through how to break down your quilting designs into eight steps: *Drawing and transferring the design and design inspiration* Layering the zen quilt *Zen stitching the quilt* “Blocking” the quilt *Adding pen stitching* Adding the binding *Adding the convertible hanger. Pat goes into great detail for each one of these steps to help you to experience the same peace and calm she did when she first took up Zentangle with machine quilting. Your project may excite and challenge you, but you can complete it while being relaxed and calm every stitch of the way!
