Synopsis

Creative Quilting: The Journal Quilt Project is a compendium of more than 400 quilts, each 8 1/2" x 11", culled from the nearly 6,000 QuiltPages made by 918 artists who have participated in The Journal Quilt Project over five years. The Project - A Page From My Book, displayed each year at International Quilt Festival in Houston and Chicago - was started in 2002 by Festival Director Karey Patterson Bresenhan, organizer and curator of the annual exhibit.

Each quilt shown represents a page in a quilter's life story, chronicling joy, frustration, tragedy, inspiration, mundane moments, artistic epiphany - and every event and emotion in between.

In Creative Quilting: The Journal Quilt Project, you'll find:

Glossy, color photographs of more than 400 creative journal quilts, created by nearly 250 quilters from around the world.

Inspiration and ideas for choosing themes and subjects for your quilts.

Descriptions of each quilt, including techniques and materials.

Stories from the artists, filled with hope and laughter, poignancy and pain, trepidation and exultation.
