Book Description
From 1965 through today, the art quilt movement has grown to become one of the most exciting art forms of the 21st century. Until now, there has not been a comprehensive, chronological history of the studio art quilt, which has become an international phenomenon. This feast for the eyes offers full-color images of 400 masterpieces along with engaging interviews and profiles of 58 influential artists, key leaders, important events, and significantcollections. Organized by decade, an additional 182 international artists' works are featured. An introduction by Janet Koplos, former senior editor of Art in America, and a conclusion by Ulysses Grant Dietz, emeritus chief curator of the Newark Museum, help us to understand the impact and the future of the art. This publication originated with Studio Art Quilt Associates, a non-profit professional organization founded in 1989 and now serving 3,500 members in nearly forty countries.

Book Description
Thread by thread, memory by memory, quilting is storytelling. A Voice of Her Own is a celebration of Wisconsin quilts made between 1800 and 1950. Included is a quilt made from scraps of Ringling Brothers Circus costumes, a quilt that helped save lives during the devastating Peshtigo fire in 1871, and a feathered star quilt Mary Jane Rule Davies brought with her from England when she left on her wedding day in I848. During the early years of migration and settlement in Wisconsin, women experienced many hardships and often found comfort and joy in making quilts. A Voice of Her Own contains nearly 100 quilts selected from 7,000 documented by the Wisconsin Quilt History Project between 1988 and 1996. Each quilt in the book speaks for hundreds of others in telling the historical traditions and contributions of Wisconsin women.

Book Description
Here is the largest, most comprehensive history of American quilts ever published!

Noted quilt historian Elise Schebler Roberts also goes beyond the historical nature of quilts to cover current efforts at quilt preservation, collecting and appraising, and state documentation projects. Her book features an encyclopedia of favorite quilt styles and is gloriously illustrated with more than 200 full-color photographs of classic collectible quilts.

Book Description
The gnarled branches of a beautiful old plum tree reach toward the sky. A mushroom hunter searches for morels among rolling hills. A small boat is tossed among the tumultuous waves of an angry sea. Striding Lines, an homage to Wisconsin artist and quilter Rumi O'Brien, presents these striking images of her work and many more, accompanied by descriptions that share the stories of each piece in the artist's own words. Each quilt represents a moment, often autobiographical, crafted with whimsy, revealing an inspired talent. Bobbie Malone reaches beyond the quilts to tell O'Brien's own story, from her initial foray into the quilting world to her developed dedication to the craft. Contributions from leaders in the art, textile and quilting community, including Melanie Herzog and Marin Hanson, contextualize O'Brien's work in the greater community of quiltmakers and artists. This book celebrates the life and ingenuity of a Japanese-born American immigrant whose oeuvre is equally Japanese and Wisconsinite--and entirely distinctive.
