500 Art Quilts

One of my pieces, Insight, is going to be published in the upcoming book, “500 Art Quilts”, An Inspiring Collection of Contemporary Work” due out March 2010, and published by Lark Books. See their website page for more details - Lark Books 500 Series. It was published in March 2010. It is a 432 page paperback. The book is considered a beautiful new addition to Lark Books "500 Series". The book presents 500 contemporary art quilts made in fabric and other media and shows diverse designs, materials and techniques. The works were juried by Karey Bresenham, a prominent figure in quilting and was written by Ray Hemachandra.
