QUILTING

A MODERN CREATIVE JOURNEY THROUGH AN AGE-OLD CRAFT
Quilting Book - Andrea Tsang Jackson - Cover

ABOUT THE BOOK

Andrea’s second book invites you on a journey to explore your creativity and quilting practice. Five essays address five aspects of quilting practice, followed by five Quests that allow to you explore ideas and techniques through your own unique lens.
“…this book is for quilters—any quilter who is inclined to reflect on their relationship to their craft. Why do I do this? Why is this important to me? How should I do it? And when should I do it?  Also though, Why do we do this? Why is it important to us?
— from the introduction to Quilting: A Modern Creative Journey through an Age-Old Craft
