Quilts at the University

(1 vote)

Yesterday Gary & I went to Humboldt State University Bookstore for a book signing event.  There were my books and two others featured, a former HSU history professor, and a group of ladies who wrote a book on eating local foods.  It was a fun day.  Here are a few pictures.

...and this is how it's done....see the agates on this quilt!  Quilts among the books...isn't it great!?

Then I loved this shot from the quad...this banner is the picture of the recent National Geog...featured fold out...what a great place to display it!

(you can just barely see the little red dots on the side of the tree...those are people!)

If you followed the earlier blogs you know that it's painted on white fabric and then quilted to enhance the image.

Here are a couple of books you might enjoy taking a look at....

Quilted Devotions by Lisa Cogar

 

This pretty new book has 24 Biblical Blocks featured as well as examples of setting them into quilts.  Some of the blocks are traditional, and some brand new designs.  I was really drawn to several of the blocks.  It’s inspiring to see how well she has adapted her art to highlight her faith.  Instructions are clear and easy to follow.  You could make a large quilt or a small wall hanging.

It’s a Wrap II  by Susan Breier

 

New baskets, purses, lids and handles.  So inspiring!  Using clothesline and fabric strips Susan teaches you to make beautiful projects of many varying designs.  Looks like fun to me!

They are both available at www.martingale-pub.com
