From Library Journal
Graphic designer turned quiltmaker Johnson moves the traditional craft in new and fascinating directions, creating quilted paintings that combine pieced and painted fabric with applique and quilting. Her fabric landscapes, often inspired by her observations of the northern California coast near her home, have been exhibited widely and are prized by both private and corporate collectors. While Paint and Patches uses Johnson's fabric paintings to illustrate the possibilities of the medium, the book is above all a well-organized workshop that leads the reader by means of progressive exercises through the process of learning to paint on fabrics and of creating their own painted fabric quilts. A worthy purchase for subject collections.
