Clear, close-up images and exciting hot tips help to make layering enjoyable and accessible.

Ann Small’s imaginative use of cutting and manipulating techniques, and her layering and colouring tricks, makes this your ‘go-to’ guide for bringing form and texture to your fabric work. All aspects of texture and pattern are explored in this fantastic reference book that will bring new dimensions to your fabric work.
It is stunning. The contents page does not conjure up what is in store: Inspiration and Design, Pushing The Boundaries, Three-Dimensional Applique, but the actual work will leave you gasping for breath. Astounded by this book. As a colourist, Ann is simply magnificent and like me, you will probably flick through this book just for the colours. For textile and colour lovers everywhere. It defied my expectations completely. Recommendation? Absolutely, I'm telling you this is a MUST-HAVE. I find everything about it sheer joy. The Textile Artist series is a good series of books, this is the strongest title yet, it deserves a fanfare, it really is
