Personal Review: The Quilting Arts Book: Techniques and
Inspiration for Creating One-of-a-Kind Quilts by Patricia Bolton
I have been a quilter for many years now, and last year fell into a creative
funk. Unable to think of any new and creative ideas for quilts I began to
dread walking into my studio, because I knew that I would only find
disappointment and "quilter's block" there. Then for my Birthday my
husband gave me this book, The Quilting Arts Book, and said that he
hoped I would become inspired by what I found there. Doubtful, I began to
read the book and to my surprise I began to feel the old tingle of creative
excitement return. This book has inspired me to try new things with my art.

For the first time I actually am inspired to create art out of recycled
materials - the project which Patricia recommends is amazing and I am
currently in the process of a year long journey to create a recycled
masterpiece. With beautiful illustrations and pictures, along with detailed
suggestions and explanations, Patricia Bolton has truly inspired my work.
In addition to the great tips, Ms. Bolton inserts tidbits of her own life, thus
creating an enjoyable and humorous read. This is honestly the best
collection of projects that I have seen in many years.
