Books

___ Collaborative Quilting........... Published by Sterling, 2006

Special Note: Collaborative Quilting Is in the gift shop at the Smithsonian!

This book includes 256 pages of glorious, blazing color.
This is the book I did with Freddy Moran featuring 33 quilts we made together. Our goal was to bring the best of both of us together in a new body of work.. Freddy was the colorist and I was the designer. The book shows Freddy's studio and her quilts, and it shows my studio and my quilts. This book is a coffee table book showing full page color pictures of 96 quilts. It also has an innovative how-to section, with simple directions on how to make all the "parts" we used in our collaborative quilts.

___ Lively Little Folk Art Quilts........... Published by C&T, 2006

This 80 page book includes 28 quilts, 20 projects.
With over 400 small quilts to choose from, this book shows 28 of my favorites. My small quilts(about 18" X 20") are "easy-to-make, yet-ever-so delightful", if I do say so myself. The book includes clear instructions for making these little darlings. The projects include 8 pieced and 12 applique quilts.
Here is a fresh idea: what about instead of "block of the month", shops offered "quilt of the month." At the end of the year quilters could have a nifty little collection of 12 finished applique quilts!.

___ Gwen Marston's Needlework Designs ........... Published by AQS 2006

This 95 page book includes over 70 designs.
Savor the sophistication of Renaissance and Baroque styles with these classic patterns.

• Over 70 elegant designs were inspired by sixteenth-century motifs from museum collections from around the world.
• Adaptable and adjustable patterns that can be hand or machine quilted, embroidered, appliqued. or stenciled. They can be enlarged, rearranged, and used in blocks or borders.
• Inspirational tips and ideas from this experienced quilting designer will help you successfully transfer designs to your quilt or transform the patterns to fit your project.
• Two bonus quilt projects provide a perfect canvas on which to compose a classic arrangement of magnificent designs.

AQS did a very nice job designing this book of my original line drawings done over the past 20 plus years. These designs based on renaissance and baroque styles, are shown elegantly on pastel pages. The innovative approach to this book is that the designs have multi purposes: they can be used as quilting designs, for redwork and for applique patterns and the book shows them in all three forms.
