Part quiltmaking workbook, part business guide, Art Quilt Workbook shows how to take quilting in a creative new direction through art--then sell the quilts at craft fairs and other venues. Lessons and homework teach the basics of good design with simple step-by-step exercises, then encourage the reader to add personal touches with fabric collage, thread painting, innovative piecing, and photo imagery. A bonus guide to exhibiting and selling quilts reveals how to join arts and crafts exhibits and how to market handmade quilts. Develop the inner artist (and the inner business tycoon) with Art Quilt Workbook!
Creative Ideas This is the type book that can make you dream. Liked all the ideas to spur ones creativity.
Great book A well written book and very easy to follow projects and practice pieces. Will often refer back to. Very clear pictures and great art works to drool over!
art quilt workbook A real WORKbook, lots of interesting little challenges to creativity, the book itself is a work of art. I only wish the author had given tips on how to adjust and make these jewels smaller/larger but in general, a thumbs up!
Fabulous Book for Art Quilters Jane and Elin have outdone themselves with this beautiful book. It is spectacular in scope, along with being very organized and motivating. There is much to learn here and the process is fun! The suggested artists to study in each section are very helpful and inspiring, a very nice addition to the book as a whole. The instructions and steps are very clear and will be helpful to the beginning art quilter as well as those who are more experienced. I highly recommend this book as the best instructional book on art quilting I have yet seen. In addition, I recommend their new companion art quilting DVD. It is amazing and a "must have" for your quilting library. I hope Jane and Elin collaborate on still more DVD's and books.
wonderful book This book will get your imagination going. When I sat down with this book I was at a standstill for new ideas, but the exercises started me thinking of so many new ideas I couldn't do them fast enough. I like the way each project is done the same size because when you get done with all of them you have a great set of little art quilts for your walls. I learned so many new techniques that I thought would be so hard, but were actually easy. This is a great book and I'm so happy I got it. I have been doing traditional quilting for a long time and I enjoy them but now I know art quilts are even more fun!
