A New Book


Here is a fabulous book which was recently published. It is by Judith Baker Montano, my guru for crazy quilting. The big surprise is that there is actually a photo in this book of a quilt that Little MissesStitches made! I am so excited about being in this book--it's such an honor. I think I'll buy several hundred copies to give to a few of my closest friends and relatives!

The book itself (even without the fabulous inclusion of my quilt!) is beautiful. It is an oversized book, with a spiral binding, and with beautiful, beautiful photos, almost all of which were taken by Judith. She's a fabulously talented woman, with lots of interests, and is a wonderful person to know and to learn from. The book talks about using different methods for creating a fibreart (as Judith spells it!) montage. In my case, I made a quilt/wall hanging of a landscape scene using crazy quilt piecing, embroidery, silk ribbon embroidery, burning fabric, dying fabric/trims, needle felting, and embellishing like crazy. It was a class that I took from Judith at Asilomar (Empty Spools Seminars), which is a fabulous place to go for week-long quilting classes.

  3. You are the first person I've heard of who has seen the book. I can't wait to see it. Actually can't wait to get my hands on it!! I've been checking Amazon and Chapters online- neither have it. Guess I'll have to order direct from Judith. Congrats on "being published". It's pretty exciting isn't it?
