The International Quilt Festival at Houston was the first time that the Theme series and the Colorplay series were exhibited together. That's makes a total of 288 art quilts!
And they were all so beautiful! As gorgeous as they are in the book, seeing them "up close and personal" was a thrill. For one thing, I didn't realize how many had such dimensional qualities. It was fun for me to visit with Karen at length, and to see and get signatures from Gerrie, Brenda Gael, Deborah, and Kristin. You quilters are the best!
Our new self-published book is now available on Amazon
About Twelve by Twelve
We are twelve quilt artists who embarked on an art challenge together. We're from different places throughout the world and our artistic styles vary, but we share a love of art quilting and a desire to play, experiment, learn, and grow.
For four years (2007-2011), we each made a 12x12 inch quilted art piece on a designated theme or palette. See our Theme Series and our Colorplay series.
For the 2012 Series, we changed things a bit and made rectangular pieces, 20x12 inches with roughly 10 weeks between each challenge. As before, we had a designated theme for each challenge.
We shared our process, progress, and results on this blog. It remains a key record of our rich collaboration.

I love the look of these larger mosaics.
Ooh, I really like the look of these.
That is a lot of work -- even over the four year period. We rock!
