It's great to hear there's a new book. This seems a very good choice.<br /><br />In the past couple of years I've been invited to join a art quilt group; we looked at your original book and even chose "chairs" as a theme for an early challenge. We are the opposite of international, all are Cape Codders, but we have been asked to join a local fiber art group for shows at local venues and have our second in some 10 months up in a local theatre's gallery. You've been an inspiration to me and to this group and I think surely to a great many others in many parts of the world. I'll go to Amazon and get your book in the very near future.June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-17034563994189034482016-10-11T07:43:12.130-07:002016-10-11T07:43:12.130-07:00How could I have missed this series?!

I experienced similar feelings when the Quilter's Play Group broke up after a year of monthly meetings to explore art quilting techniques.<br /><br />Your drawing, painting, and weaving certainly was a change from the art quilts that you made with alongside the other Twelves.

Your success was well deserved, your book is wonderful and often goes with me to meetings of my small (5) local art quilter group for inspiration for our challenges (we started with "chair" thanks to the book). It's very good to read all these "where are we now" comments.
