How to Make a Mosquito Net From Fully Illustrated Instructions (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

How to Make a Mosquito Net presents a general discussion about malaria, its treatment and prevention, followed by complete instructions, illustrated with sketches and photographs, for sewing a recommended mosquito net made from cotton sheeting and nylon tulle, written by an experienced textile specialist and twenty-year veteran of life in Africa.

The book explains why this mosquito net design is probably the most effective one for the prevention of malaria as it compares features of all most popular styles. It describes the materials needed, how to calculate yardage requirements to fit any sleeping area, and how to cut, sew and finish the net in simple language anyone can understand and follow.

This book is a "must have" for anyone planning to spend time in any tropical or subtropical country where malaria-carrying Anopheles mosquitoes are present, and it can also be useful for those living in other climates who need protection from any other kind of biting insects or pests.

Autor

Dena Dale Crain relocated from the USA to Kenya in 1990, then returned to the USA in 2023. She spent most of her time in Kenya, living on the shore of Lake Baringo, two hundred miles and a five-hour drive north of Nairobi, with her partner Jonathan Leakey.

Dena saw patchwork quilting as a way to employ local women, taught herself the basics, and began a small production quilting business in her home. With advanced degrees in design, anthropology, and textiles, she was uniquely positioned to help. As her experience and confidence increased, she began producing "one-off" works of art. Dena's innovative art quilts were the subject of several solo art exhibitions and group quilt shows in Africa.

Dena helped found the Kenya Quilt Guild and keeps a pulse on its activities. She helps educate members of the society at large about quilts as art. She has written magazine articles and lectured at quilting and non-quilting functions.

Teaching in Cape Town, South Africa, for the Good Hope Quilters Guild National Quilt Festival in July 2002 moved Dena into the ranks of international quilting teachers. Since then, she taught art quilting at such prestigious venues as the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, England; the European Patchwork Meeting in Val d'Argent, France; and the International Quilt Festivals in Houston and Chicago in the USA. In 2011, she earned South Africa National Quilt Guild Certification. In 2018 she became a Recommended Teacher for the same guild.

In 2004 Dena joined the faculty of Quilt University, the first major online educational facility for patchwork quilters, later teaching for QuiltEd Online and the Academy of Quilting. An inventive and creative mind coupled with top-notch sewing skills makes Dena Dale Crain an educator of high merit in the world of patchwork quilting.
