The Quiltmaker’s Art
Ed. Joanne Mattera
The Quiltmaker’s Art is a handsome collection of contemporary quilting at its best. Over 90 original quilts are featured. Pieced, appliqued, stuffed, sewn, dyed printed and painted- these masterpieces in fabric and thread will delight and inspire everyone.
Quiltmaking is an American design tradition and interest in it has never been stronger. From its practical, humble origins of providing warmth and comfort, quiltmaking has grown into an exciting art form.
But The Quiltmaker’s Art is more than a gallery of the finest current work. Within these pages you will visit the studios of the quilters themselves. Over 25 quiltmakers- many of them former painters, weavers and architects- describe their working methods and influences and share the joys of working in the tactile medium of cloth.
Profusely illustrated with over 55 colour plates, The Quiltmaker’s Art is destined to become a cornerstone in the libraries of quilters, collectors and designers- anyone who delights in fibre art and who wants to experience the excitement of the newest of a traditional art form.
