Quilting With Japanese Fabrics [Paperback] Review

Quilting With Japanese Fabrics [Paperback]Kitty is a wonderful teacher and she has compressed some of herregular quilt show classes itto this book. Although I have taken many of her classes, I return again and again this book...Needless to say, the descriptions, photos and diagrams are clear and concise and eary for anyone to follow. Her designs and suggestions are a wonderful inspiration and will either greatly enhance any experienced quilter's library or entice a new, young quilter to the art.
I just started quilting...and have found in Kitty a great teacher and inspiration, not only for the dramatic Japanese quilting, design, and fabrics which she explores, but through her, the history of quilting in America, the great melting pot of art. I highly recommend this book to any who seek a personal rejuventation for American Art.
