I’m delighted to be presenting you with our latest catalogue featuring all new Search Press titles publishing March through September 2021.
2020 saw Search Press reach our 50th anniversary in circumstances none of us could predict. But we’re proud to have kept providing artists and crafters the world over with our beautiful and inspirational books and to have supported our friends in retail in the most challenging of times. Let’s hope 2021 sees us all back on track towards something more ‘normal’.
It’s always tough choosing new book highlights when I’m immensely proud of every book we publish. Personal favourites in craft this year include Monica Russel’s Nordic Knits for Children (page 36); Julia Hincks' The Coverstitch Machine Manual (page 23); Modern Mending by Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald (page 21) and Debbie Shore’s wonderful Sew Eco-Friendly (page 20). Art and drawing sees the sumptuous wildlife paintings in The Art of Angela Gaughan (page 5), the wonderful Abstract Painting by Petra Thölken (page 6) and the enigmatic Dynamic Seascapes by Judith Yates (page 7). But please, you pick your own favorites!
Thank you as ever for your continued support and to you and your families, and your customers, a very healthy, happy and peaceful 2021.
Kind regards,
Martin de la Bedoyere Managing Director, Search Press Ltd

Big Stitch QuiltingCarolyn Forster
7
When I first started making patchwork quilts, there were very few books giving information on the process, and a far smaller selection of waddings/battings and patchwork fabrics available. I quilted one of my first quilts with cotton stranded embroidery thread and a big embroidery needle, as that was the only thing that would work on the thick polyester wadding/batting and fabric combinations that I had used. These bold stitches held the layers together perfectly, adding texture and colour at the same time. When I met with other quilters, I soon saw that in order to conform with what was expected of a quilter and a quilted piece at that time I really needed to be making small stitches and more intricate quilting designs.
Eventually, I had made enough of these ‘small-stitch’ quilts of heirloom quality to be asked to teach others. I loved having the chance to share my passion with others but soon realized that it was often hard for new quilters to make the small stitches, and it wasn’t always easy for them to thread the small needles. It made me think back to my early quilting days, and about those big stitches and larger needles. Surely other quilters must have quilted like that, too?
The more research I did into quilting designs and methods, the more eye-opening the world of past quilts and quilting became. There were many quilts that had not achieved the museum status of the intricately quilted, heirloom-quality pieces that we had thought we ought to aspire to. These quilts were often referred to as ‘utility quilts’, and when discovered in people’s homes,
INTRODUCTIONwere often in a sorry state due to the sheer amount of use and love they had endured over the years. These quilts would became worn out and fall apart, and then sometimes pieces would be reused to make up new patchwork quilts. Gradually, more used and worn quilts came to light due to quilt documentation days held by quilting guilds.
Quilt historians and those interested in social history pounced upon the chance to find out all they could about these quilts, studying the fabrics, construction methods and the quilting styles and threads. This opened up a whole new world of quilting: bigger stitches, thicker threads and bold quilting designs, there to get the job done efficiently and quickly – and to get the quilt on the bed and into use.
So with this information, and many examples to lead the way, I started teaching quilters that there were other ways to quilt. Yes it was fine to use thicker threads and big stitches, bold designs, and to not spend forever trying to quilt a quilt. Yes, you can still aspire to fine handwork, and you can use big stitch quilting as a starting point.
With the growing popularity of big stitch, there are now many resources and pieces of work to study. Here, I have included stitches such as Mennonite Tacks, Methodist Knots and Running Cross Stitch – all stitches used in the past to make the process of making a quilt quick, easy and enjoyable. I have used quilting motifs, often simple in their design and quick to stitch, allowing the quilts to show off the fabrics.

The Complete Book of Patchwork, Quilting & Appliqué –
20 21
APPLIQUÉ Joyful, carefree, unrestrained – these words can be
used to describe the appliqué quilts on the following pages. Precise, well-executed, detailed: these words can also characterise the same quilts. Appliqué work has the ability to satisfy every quiltmaker, whether you prefer close detailed work, or a freer approach. Look at Chapter 3, The Art of Appliqué, which starts on page 98, to see the many diverse techniques that come under the heading of applied work.
If you have never tried appliqué, you might be put off attempting it when you study the magnificent masterpiece quilts that have been made using this technique, such as Susan McCord’s Urn Quilt on the facing page. But if you have tried it, you will know that it is easier to camouflage a problem with appliqué. Often, depending, of course, on the pattern, measurements don’t have to be as exact as in patchwork. You can be freer in your design and in your choice of fabrics. Moreover, decisions that you made when you started a piece can be changed without anyone being any the wiser.
Look at the spontaneity and jubilation that emanates from Martha by Jeanne Lyons Butler on this page. Jeanne designs her quilts very freely. Perhaps if you always pre-plan your quilts on paper and rigidly stick to your original design, you might try to make an adventurous appliqué quilt as an exercise – it just might reveal a talent that you didn't know you had! Look at the wonderful embellishments Jane Burch Cochran used on her quilt, Southern Devotion (see page 22) –search through your button box and look for other small treasures that you can sew onto your quilts to personalize them. If you don’t feel comfortable about designing your own appliqués, try using the Broderie Perse technique, which has been done to create Memories of Days Under the Sea on page 22. Have fun collecting fabrics that feature your favourite subject, then cut them out and use them to design a small wall hanging or cushion.
Appliqué work done on the sewing machine can be just as successful as that done by hand – it will look different, of course, but it will have its own charm. Monica Millner machine-appliquéd the figures in her African Magic quilt on page 22, while Amelia Adams used only hand-sewing techniques on her Baltimore masterpiece on page 23. Urn Quilt
By Susan Noakes McCard, circa 1860, McCardsville, Indiana. 211 x 216cm (83 x 85in). Appliquéd urns have been filled with tulips, fuschias, and flowers, and interspersed
with bunches of grapes. The quilt’s colours are unfaded; it appears to have never been washed. Note how the artist has solved the often difficult problem of turning corners.
Collection of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan.

Martha By Jeanne Lyons Butler, 1992, Huntington, New York. 105 x 152cm (41 x 60in). Jean designs her quilts in a collage-like manner employing diverse methods of appliqué and piecing in her work. She uses no drawings but works directly with the fabrics and embellishments. The life of the dancer Martha Graham and her dedication to her art and personal expression are the inspiration behind this quilt, which imparts an incredible feeling of music, energy, movement and beauty. The appliquéd figure is decorated with beads, buttons, hardware and paint. Collection of the artist.
Below
Vine By Susan Noakes McCord, 1880–1900, McCordsville, Indiana. 192 x 206cm (75½ x 81in). Susan McCord, who lived from 1829–1909, was a talented and prolific quilt maker. This, her most famous quilt, is an example of American folk art at its best. The quilt displays such inventiveness, sense of colour and pure joy that it has received national renown. Close examination reveals that most of the appliquéd leaves and buds have been pieced with strips of fabric. The rose-coloured borders and sashes complement the harmonious design. Collection of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan.

Bud9 The pink of the bud is worked first with small amounts
of light, medium and dark pink. Split stitch around the small green base of the bud in medium green and work with the three lighter shades of green. Start with the darkest coming from under the bud and down its sides. The smaller back sepal of the bud is also shaded using the three lighter shades of green with a sliver of the medium green down the outside edge and the very light green where it sits over the pink. The fine tendril is worked in stem stitch in light green.The front sepal is split stitched all the way around in light green and worked in the same way as the back one with a sliver of medium on the outside edge and very light green next to the pink on the inside edge. The fine tendril is worked in stem stitch and in very light green. The small leaves on the main stem are worked in medium green.

working your stitches over 2 threads as here, or in multiples of three for stitches
over 3 threads.

INSPIRATIONAL SAMPLERSThe stitched samplers and items on the following pages are worked on plain cotton,
and present just one idea (or two, as seen on the items!) for stitching the designs. Some have been filled in completely with stitches, some have simply been outlined,
and others use a combination of the two.
Each sampler corresponds with a transfer in the Transfers book in this pack – simply use the number next to the sample to find the transfer design in the other book.
There are no notes included on how to stitch these samples, which means you can embroider them in any way you like, once they’ve been transferred!
LAVENDER BAGSLavender bags are a perennial favourite and make
gorgeous little handmade gifts. The heart-shaped motif (see Sampler 7 on page 18 of this book, Transfer 7 in the Transfers book) inspired the smaller lavender bag shown below, and the lavender motif (see Sampler 2 opposite, and Transfer 2 in the Transfers book) works beautifully on the lavender sleep pillow. The stitching
on this little scented pillow uses just one strand of thread to give a very delicate finish.
