More About the Author

I grew up in Northern California and have lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico for 20 years. I became an artist at a very young age, in High School my medium was oils and I had a lot of fun with all of the texture that oils offer. I now enjoy the textures of the many different kinds of cloth that I use. I am an art quilter and have written 8 books on art quilt design. I like to encourage personal growth in my classes and in my books. I want people to use my ideas to develop their own style and to succeed in creating great works of art.

This review is from: Color and Composition for the Creative Quilter: Improve Any Quilt with Easy-to-Follow Lessons (Paperback)

I took a basic color and design class at a community college about a decade ago. We worked through similiar exercises to those in this book, but with paper, not with fabric as in this book. If you have wanted to take a basic color and design class at a college but don't have the time or resources, this is an excellent book. The only thing I like better about the college class is that you have a real person demanding your homework!

If you hated homework you won't like this book, but if you are willing to follow the instructions and trust the authors to lead you to new skills, you will come away from the lessons in this book with a better understanding of drawing and coloring ways to add to your personal style of making art quilts. I will do this and look forward to the experience!

As a quilter I'd skip this book completely and simply purchase Design Explorations for the Creative Quilter: Easy-to-Follow Lessons for Dynamic Art Quilts by Katie Pasquini Masopust. Some of this content is also in that book. If you want the right brain drawing info go for the Betty Edwards book. Katie does a much better job on her own in Design Explorations, than in this joint venture.
