Synopsis

Quilted Pages is original, vibrant, and visually stunning! This colorful photo book catalogues quilts and fiber art pieces from three nationally exhibited collections by Master Quilt Artist & Storyteller, Allyson Allen. The book features dozens of imaginative and inspiring quilts that are woven together with trivia, history, folklore and a few unexpected embellishments stitched in. Not your Granny's quilts, they are 'off the bed' transitioning them from craftwork to fine art. These quilts strike a surprisingly deliberate balance between traditional and contemporary quilting. Many of the pieces feature fabrics from Africa, Australia, and the Caribbean, highlighting the beautiful connections between the cloth and the cultures. Ms. Allen's Story Art quilts are in the genre of information art and the stories she's included with these quilts are thoughtful, fun and engaging for readers of all ages. Quilted Pages is a wonderful gift for quilt lovers and a beautiful addition to any collector's library!
