This series of lessons focusing on creativity is an ideal starting place for study groups and individual quilters wishing to explore the techniques of art quilting. Each richly illustrated lesson covers a specific aspect of the subject, e.g., color theory and photo imagery. In the course of studying the book and completing the exercises and homework assignments, readers finish a series of small art quilts and come away with a wealth of practical information. Resource lists of pertinent web sites, books, and artists to study accompany each lesson. While not for novices, this should be a popular addition to all but the smallest quilting collections.
