Reviews for Art Quilt Collage: A Creative Journey in Fabric, Paint & Stitch

Would you like to try art quilting, but you're not sure where to start? Art Quilt Collage by Deborah Boschert shows you how to make works of art from bits of cloth, stitched motifs, and painted details. Deborah shares mixed-media techniques, practice exercises, checklists, and work-along projects that will help you unlock your own artistic vision as you quilt in a series, finish small art pieces, and incorporate meaningful symbols into your work. Published by C&T Publishing, the book is now ready for pre-order. A really awesome part of this book if you have not designed for yourself are the 8 design guides that Deborah suggests. She calls them Landscape, Grid, Third Plus, Symmetrical, Magic Three, One Amazing Line, Dancing Grid, and Modular. She then also shows you how to create variations on each! No more fumbling with composition! In addition, you will find chapters on adding personal symbols to your work, playing with surface design techniques, and of course, construction, stitching, and finishing!--Cyndi Lavin mixed-media-artist.com, 8/24/16
