More About This Book

Overview

A beautiful new addition to the successful series

A vibrant and growing community of crafters has embraced quilting, and this outstanding international collection will inspire and captivate them. Juried by Karey Bresenhan, one of the most prominent figures in quilting, it presents 500 magnificent contemporary art quilts, made in fabric and other media, and showcasing diverse designs, materials, and techniques.

Pamela Allen  -  Alice Beasley  -  Eszter Bornemisza  -  Jane Burch Cochran  -  Judith Content  -  Chiaki Dosho  -  Noriko Endo  -  Caryl Bryer Fallert  -  Jamie Fingal  -  Linda Gass  -  Jenny Hearn  -  Judy Coates Perez  -  Yvonne Porcella  -  Susan Shie  -  Jen Swearington  -  and many more!

    inspirational, artistic, expressive

    If art quilts are your thing, this book should be on your sewing room shelf. It contains wonderful examples of many styles of quilts including photo-transfer, raw-edge appliqué, faux felting, and stamping. The quilts range from the representational to new variations on old patterns to the funny to the disturbing to the what-was-the artist thinking? There are no patterns, of course - art quilts are not meant to be copied - but the book provides loads of inspiration for both the experienced and novice artist. Unfortunately, the short introduction to the book does not give readers much information about the selection of the quilts. We're told that the woman who compiled the book, Karey Patterson Bresenhan, is the founder of Quilts, Inc. and director of the International Quilt Festival [Doing an internet search, I found that Quilts, Inc. is the parent company of three international quilt festivals and two trade shows for the quilting and soft crafts industries.]. The quilts are named and dated, and brief descriptions are given (size, fabrics, method of creation), but Bresenhan does not indicate if they are her personal favorites or if/when they won awards. There doesn't appear to be any order to the book, by date, location, or maker. These details aren't really necessary, but a bit more information would, I think, make viewing the book both more informative and more enjoyable. Those details aside, this is a beautiful volume, one well worth a trip to your local book store or library.

    A Must Have Book That's All Eye Candy!

    500 Art Quilts is another delicious book published by one of my all time favorite art/craft publishing houses, Lark Books. I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to review this book because I knew that it was going to be a really important library addition.


    For those of you who may not be aware of Lark books - their publications are always beautifully produced. They use high quality paper that even feels nice in your hand. I am a book sniffer and feeler and Lark books are always a pleasure to hold and page through. Perhaps one of the most important things is that Lark's photography is second to none in my opinion. Every Lark book that I have ever owned has been a keeper. Amazingly, for all of the high quality that goes into every Lark book they pricing is remarkable reasonable. No, I am not affiliated with Lark - other than having the opportunity to review this book - just a very happy book hoarder.


    This 8 inch square (20.32 cm) 432 page book is filled with art - textile/quilt art - in all of it's myriad forms and fantastical colors. 346 quilt artists are represented in this book .The quilts were juried by the quilt world's own Karey Bresenhan, founder and President of Quilts,Inc. To note just a few of the artists that are included: Pamela Allen - Alice Beasley - Jane Burch Cochran - Judith Content - Chiaki Dosho - Noriko Endo - Caryl Bryer Fallert - Jamie Fingal - Linda Gass - Jenny Hearn - Judy Coates Perez - Yvonne Porcella - Susan Shie - Jen Swearington - Sarah Smith - Diana Bracey & Stacy Hurt. The best of the best are included in this book that spans works from 1989 to 2008. The book includes a wide variety of topics; portraits, landscapes, dream works, pictorial, abstracts, traditional with a twist and an even wider variety of techniques.


    This book is simply a must have book for any textile art enthusiast. It's a book that you will return to again and again for inspiration and enjoyment. There are quilts that with energize you , quilts that will calm you, quilts that will make you think and quilts that will make you say "WoW"! Get this book - you won;t be disappointed!
