Embellished Knits to Cherish
Memory Lane: Embellished Knits to Cherish explores how we can infuse meaning into pieces we create and wear. Embellishing involves modifying a garment to make it uniquely ours: a deeply personal and creative way of reflecting our memories of people, places and traditions in our making.
This book invites you to discover the magic of Claudia Quintanilla’s unique blend of tradition and artistry. It features 19 enchanting designs inspired by her childhood in El Salvador — from lush orange trees on her grandfather’s farm to the memory of her mother's soothing voice. Elegantly simple designs are transformed into magnificent, one-of-a-kind pieces through thoughtful embellishments, such as embroidery, lace, beads, and crochet.
"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." — Claudia Quintanilla
