Digital quilting, a winner, and alpacas
Lura Schwarz Smith and Kerby C. Smith are celebrating the release of their new book, Secrets of Digital Quilting: From Camera to Quilt. What an intriguing title! My interview with Lura and Kerby is now on Valley Fiber Life online magazine.
The book is available from Lura (autographed copies) and C&T Publishing.
One of Lura and Kerby’s digital quilts was recently juried into Quilt Visions 2010, one of 40 artworks selected from 600 entered.
The winner of 500 Art Quilts from my review/drawing is Heather. I very much enjoyed the comments with links to inspiring artists/artwork.
My review in brief: Beautifully designed and beautifully printed, 500 Art Quilts will definitely entice those unfamiliar with art quilts to learn more, inspire those new to art quilting, and be a must-have addition to the library shelves of any fiber art enthusiast. The book is available at your local bookseller, Amazon, and B&N. Topping out at 432 pages, 500 Art Quilts is an uber-bargain with retail around $25.
And to wrap up our little potpourri of publications, this article, Quilting and Alpacas: A Wonderful Combination, came about because an e-mail from quilter Nancy Danielson had a signature line that included the name of her business, M&M Alpacas. It’s not every quilter who also has alpacas in her backyard.
