More About the Author
Hi, I'm Joyce and I'd like to share a little bit about myself. In additional to writing quilting books within the landscape quilt genre, I love creating landscape quilts and teaching and lecturing nationally and internationally. I developed my own techniques through trial and error and continue to grow and try new things. My new book, Quick Little Landscape Quilts will be published in the fall of 2010 by C&T Publishing. I enjoy teaching on cruises with www.quiltcampatsea.com and hope to one day write a series of quilting novels. I also write a weekly column for the Kent Reporter. I live in Kent, Washington, am married and have five step-children and my husband and I have two children. Please visit my blog at www.joycerbeckerblog.blogspot.com. or catch me on Facebook. The cover quilt on Quick Little Landscape Quilts is made mostly from dryer lint, along with other "found" fibers from my studio. :) Joyce

2.0 out of 5 stars
not so lusious,
By Annette "Annette Loves To Quilt" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luscious Landscapes: Simple Techniques for Dynamic Quilts (Paperback)
Though this book has lovely quilts, it is very light on technique. It is more a showcase for the artists quilts. I purchased the book hoping for concise clear instructions and possibly some patterns to get started; this book has no patterns and is really light on instruction. If you enjoy looking at beautiful quilts only, then you will enjoy this book. If you are looking for something with a lot of technical info, keep looking, this is not the book for you.

This review is from: Luscious Landscapes: Simple Techniques for Dynamic Quilts (Paperback)
This book was purchased to go along with a class I took by the author. The infomation was very helpful and allowed me to begin creating my first art quilt. Joyce takes you step by step and simplifies the process. The book is very easy to understand. I recommend this book to anyone that has a desire to try their hands at creating an art quilt.

This review is from: Luscious Landscapes: Simple Techniques for Dynamic Quilts (Paperback)
This book explores a whole variety of ways to have fun, fun, FUN with Landscape Quilting. The directions are well written, the photos clear and understandable, and the overall context invites one to get to the fabric stash and jump right in. Okay, okay, so these quilts won't wind up on your bed. But they are a wonderful example of how to decorate your home and walls!
