Traditional quilter looking to branch out., 2008-12-16
I love art that comes from inside; enjoying the expressing of myself in abstract ways. I gained encouragement from this book in that it is truely "OK," to work outside the normal way of the traditional quilter. I also found a way to incorporate the two. So I deem this book as special to me.

art quilt workbook, 2008-08-01
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, 2008-07-29
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.
