Techniques in Colour, Surface Design & Sewing

Contemporary Patchwork by Arounna Khounnoraj is a guide to patchwork that moves well beyond traditional methods — into colour theory, surface design, and the kind of intuitive, material-led making that Khounnoraj is known for. A Canadian artist based in Toronto, she brings a fine arts background and a deep engagement with fibre to every project.

The book’s 10 projects range from small quilts to bags and pouches, each one a vehicle for exploring different techniques: natural dyeing, block printing, painting, and a range of sewing and appliqué methods. There’s also a strong emphasis on sustainability — working with scraps, using materials fully, and drawing inspiration from your immediate surroundings.
