Learn how to create stunning paper collage from on-hand materials and accurately transpose those designs to a fabulous quilt.

Quilter Sarah Hibbert finds inspiration in the everyday objects around her. Her unique approach includes using readily available, recyclable materials for paper collage, then she takes this design as the springboard for her quilts.

From Collage to Quilt is the first craft book of its kind, combining the disciplines of paper collage and quilting. Rather than using a collage of fabric pieces, Hibbert incorporates found objects, such as card stock, pages from magazines, and even canned food labels, into her quilts. The result is stunning, and in the book, she teaches you how to do this at home. Inside, you’ll find 18 projects for both collage and quilting; the book even includes the paper materials needed to complete one of the projects. Hibbert’s work is incredibly artistic, and soon, you’ll be able to execute one-of-a-kind designs at home.

Sarah Hibbert is a modern quilter influenced as much by art and architecture as quilting heritage. Often starting with traditional quilt blocks and giving them an improvisational twist, Hibbert’s use of textural fabric, hand stitching, and natural, rich tones, as well as her clever-but-limited use of prints, has led to her work being shown internationally and acquired for both public and private collections. Recently, Hibbert has challenged herself to create small paper collages within a limited time frame. Selecting from these simple pieces, she scales the design to construct quilts that retain the spontaneity of the originals while showcasing her characteristic quilting style. She lives in London.
