Alchemy - Transforming Scraps into Precious Material

by Pamela Goecke Dinndorf

The cover of this book is certainly eye catching and the use of colour different - but it works.

The writer takes blocks we all know and turns them into something very modern and to me, a new use of colour. Whether it be men’s shirts (one of her favourite sources of shirts is from charity shops), a new take on Orange Peel shape or an update on Log Cabin in both appearance and construction methods.

But the difference with this book is that the photography is so very clear and invites you, the reader to put a new spin on an old favourite block. Also, the writer draws details pictures of how the blocks are set; so easy to follow!

Enjoy this beautiful, concise book and drool over the photographs.
