5.0 out of 5 stars
A compendium of Christian liturgical soft art.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Patchwork Pilgrimage: How to Create Vibrant Church Decorations with Quilting Techniques (Paperback)
The Patchwork Pilgrimage) by Jill Liddell is a compendium of Christian liturgical art, especially quilted banners, altar cloths, and vestments. Nearly every page has at least one color plate depicting a church decoration found in Scandinavia, England, France, the U.S., Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Though most are contemporary (1980's and 90's), examples from as far back as the Middle Ages are also included. Jill Liddell's descriptions of the individual pieces are supplemented by Andrew Liddell's historical overview of church art. The sections entitled "Ways and Means" and "Christian Signs and Symbols" offer suggestions for quilters who might like to try their hands at liturgical art. Christian quilters will benefit from having this inspiring book in their collections. reviewed by Andrea R. Huelsenbeck

Very inspirational and spiritual.,

This review is from: The Patchwork Pilgrimage: How to Create Vibrant Church Decorations with Quilting Techniques (Paperback)
Every time I look at my copy, I find more to give thanks for. Our church has benefitted from the Banners and Quilts we have created, adapted from ideas we found in the book. My dream is to find it reprinted and get it for some friends. I have been fortunate enough to see the cover quilts at an Ecclesiastical exhibit and they are even more beautiful in person. This is a book that should be in everyone's library.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Patchwork Pilgrimage: How to Create Vibrant Church Decorations with Quilting Techniques (Paperback)
Inspirational book, stunning pictures, I've given several copies away to lady priest friends and now I wish I'd saved a copy. It show a way to combine your love of God and love of fabric/quilting/needlework. Some of us shouldn't sing in public, other for one reason or other don't want to or can't participate in front of the congregation, this is a way to do something to show you care
