Lark Crafts

Both are amazing books – with tremendous inspirations from every venue of art quilts and great artists. Beautifully illustrated.

I know nothing about art quilts, I only make practical ones. But I’d love to learn how, so these books would be great inspiration.

I am a new quilter – so I do not have any special artists right now – but I bet the book would give me some! Thanks for the lovely giveaway.

I’ve been mostly looking at traditional quilts, so while I love a number of modern art quilts, I don’t have any names in mind. These books would help remedy that!

I love modern quilts but still want to explore traditional quilt as well. I love Denyse Schmidt’s simple and bold modern quilt design.

I was first inspired by Grandma Ruby who made me quilts in pink because she loved me in that color. So I have Ruby’s Sunbonnet quilt in pink, Wedding ring in pink, Log Cabin also pink.
Then came my introduction to Amish quilts, then the contemporary quilt artists. All of these wonderful quilters have rocked my world.

I have totally been enjoying all the blogs recounting their Quilt Market experiences and I know I left Quilt Festival super excited to get home and sew from all the inspiration! Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!

I’m new to quilting so anyone that can create a quilt is inspiring to me. I think art quilts are amazing and hope I can sew one someday. Thanks for a chance to win.

I love Keiko Goke’s brightly colored work. Kaffe Fassett’s use of color and simple shapes is also something i really enjoy.

inspiring creators and creations

Right now I am not familiar with names of any quilting artists. Being a graphic designer, I primarily follow the pattern/textile designers, like Anna Maria Horner. These books would be wonderful additions to my library. Hope I win!

The open work quilts of Joan Lintault are some of my favorites.

Though it is not the style of quilting I personally do, I like paula golden’s work.

Right now I find a lot of inspiration in work by Nancy Crow, Lisa Call, and Noriko Endo. Looking through art books is always and inspiration!

All quilting artists inspire me! They have to begin with a vision and make that vision into a reality through a long process. I love the colors and textures that combine to make a wonderful story! I can’t wait to see these books!

I would love to win this for my friend Joanne, who has become a quilter extraordinaire in just one year!

Joen Wolfrom. Her quilts are not only inspiring, but I always learn something from her and her work. That’s a big deal for this non-artist quilter.

I love to look at other peoples masterpieces. I quilt with old clothing and enjoy that no two of my quilts are alike.

Kaffe Fassett is a favorite of mine!
I’d love to enter your wonderful giveaway
Thank you!

I have to say my favorite is actually my mother! She’s been making art quilts sporadically for a few years now and I have a few hanging in our home. My wife and I have been to a number of exhibits of various folks around Seattle, and we’re always amazed by the quality and variety we find out here. We would LOVE to have these books to explore… and drool over.

I watch several art quilters but the first one was Ruth McDowell. I’d love to add these books to my library.

I’m really inspired by Gwen Marston and Anna Williams.

Judy Dales does amazing work.

My favorite local art quilt artist is Carol Larson — she’s always reinventing herself and her style, taking the latest technique and adding her own twist. Thank you for your generous giveaway.

thanks for the awesome giveaway !

Quilting artists that inspire me…well, there are so many to choose from! One artist that I continue to be inspired from is Annette Morgan- her colors and designs are outstanding, and I’m always moved by the work of Lura Swartz Smith.

These books look like they would provide tons of inspiration! There are so many quilters who are doing wonderful work it is hard to narrow it down, but I seem to love everything Jaquie of TallGrass Prairie Studio does lately!

awwww how cool! The person who inspires me is my granny. She makes such awesome quilts and like to challenge herself by trying things shes never done before.

I have just begun to experiment with art quilting and I love the work of Melanie Testa and Lyric Kinard, to name only a couple! These books looks like great inspiration!

Can’t wait to see this book. Love the 500 series.

Thanks for the chance to win. I’d love to share these books with my mom, whose beautiful quilts have kept me warm as long as I can remember. (Cheesy but true.)

I loved seeing all the quilts at the show, but my favorite are the art quilts. I love Susan Shie’s intricate mix of quilting and words.

I saw lots of pictures of the festival on another artist’s blog. It clearly shows that we are in the 21st Century. I loved all the quilts pictured and was inspired to try to move forward and use some of the new techniques that are available today. I’d like the books to have around me to show me new possibilities.

I just discovered Sherri Lynn Wood. She makes wonderful “passage” quilts and has inspired me with new ways of using old materials.

I love the look of folk art quilts like Jan Patek, Pat Sloan, the Gees Bend quilters. I would love to win the art quilt book for inspiration to try one of my own!!! Thanks for the chance…

These are wonderful books, wish I owned copies of both!!

I never win this type of contest but I have to give it a try for these gorgeous books. I haven’t made a quilt in 3 years due to the hectic life but I really want to start again and hope these books will inspire and motivate me!

Ooh! I’d love to win these!

I’m a beginner quilter, so I will appreciate books and more help about the subject. Thanks.

itis wonderful book and i love art quilts.

I like the work of Lisa Call, Carol Taylor, Melanie Johnson, and Nancy Crow. I may take bits and pieces of their use of color and quilting style, rework it in my head, and make it my own.

I love the Quilt Festival in Houston! I get inspired every time I go.

Quilting has become an art form since the days of my grandmother and her patch quilts. Wish I had spent more time with her quilting but thankful for the ladies who spent the time to teach me.

the first art quilts I saw were Michael James, and it opened up a world of possibilities for me!

I am fascinated by the quilters of Gee’s Bend. I have a friend named Carol Phillips Whitt who used to do all of her own fabric dying and quilting. Recently she went back to doing clay works. Her pieces combine the best of both mediums and are literally clay quilts. She textures her pieces of clay and then pieces them together. Lovely things!

Sherry Coleman i have been trying to make a quilt for some time now. every time i start it i think it looks awkward, just cannot come up with a plan to satisfy myself. seen lots of them on here but you just cannot copy a picture. help me. i would love to have a copy of this book.
