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 July 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.

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!
