Cutting Edge Art Quilts
Hi all, I’m thrilled to share with you news that I’m included in a new book on art quilts will be out by the end of April:
Yep, I am among the lucky 51 contemporary quilt artists to be included in its 160 pages! You can order autographed copies of the book from editor/author/curator Mary W. Kerr on her website here; scroll down just a bit and you’ll see the link to pre-order.
The “blurb” says: “Accompanied by 270 color images, fifty-one quilters share their love of the craft and encourage others in the field of textile art by offering design and technique tips. Design processes include color play, alternative fiber, threadwork, and embellishments. This book is a great resource for quilt lovers, textile collectors, and design students.”
Mary put out a call for submissions quite some time ago (publication is a lengthy process). I am thrilled not only to be included, but to know that this book is people who may very well not be known to your or just coming to your attention–it’s a new generation. I’ve admired the work of many of those included some for years and am so honored to be included in their company. I can’t WAIT to see my copy!

Thanks for letting us know! I love these kinds of books and I carry it around with me when I go to workshops and such to see if I can get more autographs of the contributors. So that makes it lots of fun too!
