 Three great new
fiber art books
Creative Quilting with Beads:
Bags, Aprons, Mini-Quilts & More
By Valerie Van Arsdale Shrader
Creative Quilting with Beads is not just a primer on accenting your fiber arts with beads, it's actually a very good basic art quilting book, perfect for the beginning or intermediate art quilter who is looking to work on small quilts or incorporate what she knows into some functional projects, such as bags, pillows, and book covers, using beading as embellishment.
 Photo Album QuiltsBy Wendy Butler Berns
In this book, Wendy shows how easy it is to turn your photographs into beautiful pictorial quilts. She takes you step by step through choosing photographs that will make good quilt designs, turning the photos into line drawings, choosing colors and fabric patterns, making templates, and stitching.
 Masters: Art Quilts
Major Works by Leading Artists
By Martha Sielman, author and curator
In this colorful and masterful survey, 40 outstanding contemporary artists from around the world--many seen in the pages of Quilting Arts Magazine--exhibit their art and share their thoughts and themes. Photo spreads with up to a dozen quilts from each artist are artfully arranged on consecutive pages allowing an in-depth look at the quilts. Artists' photos and a short introduction begin each section, and materials and techniques are provided with each quilt image.
