Quilting: Art quilts, full deck of cards quilts (BK2062)

Description: At Quilts: Playing with a Full Deck by Susan Pierce and Verna Suit (BK2062). Art quilting is a modern medium with ancient roots. The technique of quilting, joining fabric layers with stitching, has been used for centuries but has never been more popular than it is today. Artists are finding that soft fabrics and the traditional techniques of quilting can take an extraordinary power when seen in a different context. Early quilts were pieced together from the remnants of daily life and warmed our sleep: art quilts pull together the threads of modern life and warm our souls. Art Quilts: Playing with a Full Deck presents full color reproductions of all fifty-four quilts in the project. A brief background on the artistic philosophy and approach of each artist and an exploration of the effective and imaginative use of various techniqu3es in the quilts. Above all, it demonstrates how creative minds can start at a common point and travel in many different directions. Undoubtedly, it will change perceptions of what a quilt is and can be. Content covers how the full deck came about, art quilts, playing with a full deck, and the artist's approach to quilt making plus the artists and their quilts in alphabetical order by artist. Book is from avid quilter's inventory, non-smoking home, stored in clean, dry area in bookcases.
