Journey of an Art Quilter: Creative Strategies and Techniques [Paperback] Review

Journey of an Art Quilter: Creative Strategies and Techniques [Paperback]Was literally a personal journey, very inspirational and passionate, sharing her own inspirations and techniques, beautiful color photos and details, absolutely amazing from the heart and soul, especially since I am not a quilter myself but a painter always looking for creative design, color, pattern, composition, etc. in other medias. Thought I would pass on to my sister who is a quilter but a keeper for my art library and ordered another copy for my sister who loved as said dreams of taking her seminars! Very magical, would especially recommend to quilt artists as very contemporary and she wonderfully shares her techniques and ideas.
