5.0 out of 5 stars
Unlikely combinations,
By Becky Thomas (Fort Collins, Co) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women of Taste: A Collaboration Celebrating Quilt Artists and Chefs (Paperback)
My sister-in-law sent me this book because I tend to get excited about cooking and textiles and share freely of the results of my labors with both. I also am fascinated by unlikely combinations, which end up making lots of sense. This book is a joyous combination of food, fiber and creativity. It starts your juices flowing with new ideas about art, kitchens and how infusing the day-to-day aspects of our lives with self discovery and artistic innovation can recharge and inspire. The photographs of the collaborative quilts are enough to send you on a restaurant tour or a trip to the nearest fabric store. But, the writing that accompanies the quilts and explains the nature of collaboration between fabric artist and chef, makes you want to start over in life as a struggling artist and create something enlightening with the raw materials in your kitchen or even your rag bag. What a lovely effort that inspires more deeply because it is accomplished for the purpose of helping young women find their place in the world. Kudos to Girls Incorporated and the women who shared of their labors.

A delicious collection of quilts,

This review is from: Women of Taste: A Collaboration Celebrating Quilt Artists and Chefs (Paperback)
Quilt artists were paired with women chefs and invited to make a quilt to celebrate the chef's style--in cooking or in aesthetics, or both. The result is a wonderful collection of quilts, and a fascinating collection of stories as well. Some chefs were interested in quilts and sewing and offered their own ideas; others had never thought in terms of quilts before. I loved both the quilts and the sense I got of this wide variety of very creative women.
