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: Mandala Quilt Designs (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)

If you want a bit of magic in your quilting knowledge to date,this is a "best to be owned" type of book.Ms.Pasquini introduced certain techiniques in quiltmaking in this book that I thought the quilt police would come and lock up me up for having too much fun and relaxation while trying more challenging techniques...
I am a fan of this lady's books,she introduces certain new concepts in cutting out fabrics,and how to utilze angles into circular motifs.The other nifty thing is that the circle quilts can easily have corners added to them, or project outwards for a non traditional wallhanging.With some of the newer "pellan" products available online,an odd shaped quilt can be hung,and still keep it's shape.It is my favorite of two books of Ms. Pasquini's that I own.

I purchase these books for my 80 year old mother. She uses colored pencils to color the designs. I find that it is an excellent activity and exercise for her fingers. She only has slight arthritis. Her color combinations are just beautiful!
Every picture is carefully colored within the lines. Her finished work is suitable for framing!
These designs are also useful in passing leisure time. You wouldn't believe how time flies when your are focused on coloring these pages. I really think that one could become addicted! LOL!
