Book Description
From 1965 through today, the art quilt movement has grown to become one of the most exciting art forms of the 21st century. Until now, there has not been a comprehensive, chronological history of the studio art quilt, which has become an international phenomenon. This feast for the eyes offers full-color images of 400 masterpieces along with engaging interviews and profiles of 58 influential artists, key leaders, important events, and significantcollections. Organized by decade, an additional 182 international artists' works are featured. An introduction by Janet Koplos, former senior editor of Art in America, and a conclusion by Ulysses Grant Dietz, emeritus chief curator of the Newark Museum, help us to understand the impact and the future of the art. This publication originated with Studio Art Quilt Associates, a non-profit professional organization founded in 1989 and now serving 3,500 members in nearly forty countries.

Book Description
Every day places and things provide us with great opportunities to be connected to our Creator. In "my search" I photograph everyday places and things that I may look at in a different manner or from a different angle than most people and most photographers. I photograph these places and things from an alternate "point of view" and I am inspired and in awe of what has been created for us. Though these ordinary things were made by man and they become the focal point and the source of the photograph, they have also been touched by God in their shapes, colors, textures and form. These photographs have not been manipulated with any type of digital software or by any digital filter system or technique. These photographs represent a new way of looking at something in a different manner than we usually do. God has provided us with beauty, form and function, even in areas that we would not normally look. They are there every day for us to discover and enjoy, if we will only look more closely.
