Photo-Inspired Art Quilts: From Composition to Finished Piece [Paperback] Review

I have been looking, searching and buying all sorts of books on the topic of creative "photos-to-art-quilts", this one hits the high "HIGH" mark on inspiration, clear and thorough directions. The author does a great job in walking the reader through the basics of good design, composition, photo selections and getting your ideas actually done!The included companion DVD is fantastic as it was so much better yet to actaully see and hear how the author achieved such fantastic results!The demonstrations of thread-painted accents and applique really cleared up some questions I had while reading the book.A lot of design and planning is done with the use of a computer which is explained in easy to understand details but the author has also offered simple and clear directions for what some might call "low-tech" alternatives.All the steps of making a "photo-inspired" art quilt are covered in very clear writing and step by step photos. I do both traditional quilts and art quilts, if I could give it 6 stars ****** I would!
