Modern Quilt Perspectives: 12 Quilt Patterns for Meaningful Creations


Description

Make quilts with meaning! In Modern Quilt Perspectives, you'll do more than learn the how-tos of making twelve engaging, usable quilts--you'll explore the idea of why you quilt and the meaning behind your personal art. Popular quilt and fabric designer Thomas Knauer leads the conversation, sharing the whys behind these twelve quilts. You'll see that inspiration can come from truly anywhere: your thoughts on the current issues, your bond with an online community, your relationship to traditional quilting, a sweet comment made by a child. Whether incorporating everyday items, such as barcodes and cinderblocks into the design, or using symbolic colors and prints to convey your message, infusing your quilts with meaning is easier than you think. Join the conversation and start making personal, practical quilts with meaning. "Thomas's take on the past, present and future of quilting will challenge your assumptions about the role of this 'traditional' craft in society. The projects in this book are inspiring and prove that quilting today is a vital and modern reflection of our times." --Denyse Schmidt

Abe Ravelstein is a brilliant professor at a prominent midwestern university and a man who glories in training the movers and shakers of the political world. He has lived grandly and ferociously-and much beyond his means. His close friend Chick has suggested that he put Modern Quilt Perspectives: 12 Quilt Patterns for Meaningful Creations free download pdf forth a book of his convictions about the ideas which sustain humankind, or kill it, and much to Ravelstein's own surprise, he does and becomes a millionaire. Ravelstein suggests in turn that Chick write a memoir or a life of him, and during the course of a celebratory trip to Paris the two share thoughts on mortality, philosophy and history, loves and friends, old and new, and vaudeville routines from the remote past. The mood turns more somber once they have returned to the Midwest and Ravelstein succumbs to AIDS and Chick himself nearly dies.
