Book Reviews

Creative Quilting

by Karey Patterson Bresenhan, ed

Reviewed: Friday 25 January 2008

You will never run out of inspiration if you own this book. Taken from “The Journal Quilt Project”, the book comprises 272 pages filled with images of quilts made for this project by many different artists.

Inspired by Jeanne Williamson, who had set herself the task of creating one small quilt per week for one year. Once she got going, Jeanne kept it up for seven years, noticing how much and how quickly she improved.

On a discussion forum, her idea took off, and members decided to create a small quilt every month. This book shows some of these efforts and is broken up into different categories such as “Stories”, “Series”, “Flowers, Plants & Trees”, “Abstracts” and more.

This is a book you will treasure for many years to come as you develop your own quilting or artistic
