• (10.07) The Sterling Publicity Report for this week includes the Library Journal Review of Embellished Mini-Quilts:
Embellished Mini Quilts: Creative Little Works of Art
"These little quilts, measuring less than 36” x 36”, are actually fabric collages with added beads, buttons, and a variety of found objects illustrating single themes. Fingal (Creative Quilting: The Journal Quilt Project) and other artists offer step-by-step instructions and photos of the finished pieces. As with other collage projects, this one allows users to substitute similar embellishments to complete their own quilts. A good, colorful selection for public libraries." |
