Review by Library Journal Review

Today's quilters are looking to quilt outside the box, using their craft as part of multimedia designs and examining their work with the eyes of an artist. An award-winning quilt artist, teacher, and lecturer, Meech has designed this workbook for quilters on all levels who wish to expand their design skills. With the aid of more than 200 full-color illustrations, she covers sources of inspiration, collecting design ideas in notebooks and journals, and taking good photographs. Then she moves to putting ideas on paper with drawing, painting, collage, and fabric dyeing. Chapters on color design and stitching round out this inspiring tutorial. Interspersed throughout are mini classes on topics like creating a sketchbook or looking through a window to isolate an area of design interest. Highly recommended for academic and large public libraries. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
