Description:

Let's live up to the name Artistic Quilters. If you are unfamiliar with the term "art quilt" this is the perfect time and place to discover what a world of creative possibility exists. If possible, purchase a copy of Quilting Arts Magazine -- at least check it out online. But that is only the beginning of the possibilities. Literally thousands of art quilters have blogs you can read.

For our second art quilt swap you will research the possibilities and then make a uniquely you quiltie expressing something about SPRING. The size will be no smaller than 4x6 and no larger than 12x12. It will be a complete quilt, top, batting and backing. You will bind it and add your label. You can give the quilt a name if you like. You will have one partner. There will be a generous period before sign ups end so people unfamiliar with this idea can do some research on line or in book stores, and decide it this is a kind of quilting you wish to explore. There will be a generous period also for creating your quilt because it may be new to many.

More references besides Quilting Arts: go to the saqa.com website and watch the slide show on the home page. These are professional art quilters so it's top notch art -- not what we'll aspire to just yet. Check out a book from Lark Press called 12x12 which is generously illustrated with art quilts that are all 12x12 inches, The quilters talk about their methods. If you're near a quilt fabric shop check out their books for art quilts, there will be some but not many.

**NOTE: If fewer than 4 signup for the quilt by the day before signup deadline, I will cancel the swap. If you put this on a watch list, check it so you don't forget.
