Summary: An invitation to The Visual Dance.
Review: The Visual Dance is the best book about how to quilt that I have read. The text is encouraging, clear and informative and there are many pictures of astonishingly fine quilts. Although it would be the book I would choose to own if I had to own but one quilt book, it is interesting, beautiful and different enough from most quilt books that it would be worth having however many quilt books it joined.

Summary: Reccomended by the accidental quilter
Review: Joen Wolfrom and her friends are quilt designers and artists and if you want to be linked into the creative zone of quilting--you've got to take a look at the quilts in this book. There is a color photo of a quilt called "The Dream" in the Visual Dance that I recognized immediately. I'm a writer and the same image has been coming to me in a short story format. I bet there are musicians and potters and all kinds of folks out there that will tell you the same thing. I took a workshop in quilt design from Joen last March and it really encouraged me to put in all the design time before embarking on a quilt. Just thumbing through this book and gazing at the quilts is like a graduate class in fabric design. :)mary cox

Summary: Excellent book for Quilters and Designers
Review: Not only are the quilts (in full color!) truly spectacular, but Joen is also the best teacher of the principles of design and color I've found in the "craft" world. Thank you, Joen, for choosing to teach us this stuff! Too often, the design and color aspects are "assumed" by the author of quilting books. Absolutely the best book on quilting design there is. If you are looking for "how to" make the quilts, this is not the book. There are other books for that.
