Memory Lane: Embellished Knits to Cherish

by Claudia Quintanilla

"My goal was to create exceptional pieces, each sweater beautiful even without embellishments but adorned in ways that evoke dreams and memories--special moments filled with joy, gratitude and passion."

Memory Lane: Embellished Knits to Cherish explores how makers can infuse meaning into the pieces we create by modifying a garment to make it uniquely ours. Quintanilla, in this beautiful new book, encourages embellishment as a deeply personal and creative way of reflecting our memories of people, places, and traditions. Memory Lane offers 19 designs inspired by Quintanilla's childhood in El Salvador, elegantly simple designs that may be transformed into one-of-a-kind pieces through the thoughtful use of embroidery, lace, beads.
