Description
Quilters are known for their resourcefulness and trying new techniques. Why not use what you have on hand to create your own embellishments and push your artwork to a new level? This issue of Quilting Arts is filled with examples of how fiber artists use unique embellishments and repurpose found objects in their artwork. From treasured scraps of hand dyed fabrics improvisationally pieced log-cabin style to mixed-media quilts adorned with metal zippers and buttons, you’ll find inspiration for your next art quilt in the pages of Quilting Arts!
