| A while back, I was asked by author, Linda Seward to put on of my quilts in her upcoming book, a piece with metal on it. She had wanted a particular piece, that I don't own anymore, but feel that it is one of the most important and meaningful pieces that I've ever made. Of course, I was delighted and honored to be asked! This book is amazing from cover-to cover, and I believe, will become the 'go to' book for art quilting! |
 |
| Everything you wanted to know about making art quilts, but were afraid to try! It's all here and illustrated in easy-to-follow instructions. And there is eye candy too. |
 |
| This is a chapter header - so clever. I love the words running together, kinda like a quilt and the fabric and thread. |
 |
| Some of the eye candy. Linda did an amazing job writing this book! You are going to want to own this book! |
 |
| The back of the book. It has alot of fabulous color! |
 |
| Here is my page "Heavy Metal" from 2006, which literally launched this series that I worked on for years. It has been in a SAQA Juried show, a couple of gallery shows, in magazines, in my own book "Embellished Mini Quilts," and represented a personal journey for me as a fiber artist. Happy to have it in this book, and in the section all about 'metal.' |
 |
| Here is the scoop about my art quilt |
 |
| This what I mean about the 'easy-to-follow' instructions. it shows and tells you how to do something. And then there is the eye candy, of amazing quilts. |
 |
| and how to change the blade in your rotary cutter, which I am personally happy about. |

ReplyDeleteI have so much to learn, I have no idea what's next on the list. I'm still struggling with basic design of picture quilts. Still have done very little besides quilts meant to be used on beds or couches, and though I love them, they cannot be considered art quilts.

ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled reading all these comments, and knowing that everything you'd like to learn has, indeed, been covered in the book! Whew! Although, I'm not sure what a rug quilt is--anyone know the answer? Would that be a chenille effect (which IS in the book!)
