when I discovered lyric's book it was like magic. The creative exercises and the comments by other quilt artists helped me see what I was doing as a expressive. I'm also finding Breath for the Bones by Luci Shaw interesting and helpful in terms of reflecting on my creativity and faith.

I have a varied libary of art and quilting books old and new. I love Pokey's book "The Quilting Arts Book", Inspired to Quilt by Melanie Testa, Art and Quilt Lyric Kinard. Three of my old favorites that really got me started experimenting with art quilting - Raising the Surface by Maggie Grey (It took my years to figure out nappy's were diaper liners, go figure), Complex Cloth by Jane Dunnewold, and Quilters Playtime by Diane Hire. I can't wait for Jane Dunnewolds new book. This is my first posting to any blog, I can feel and addiction coming on.

This is one of my favorites - Digital Art Studio: Techniques for Combining Inkjet Printing with Traditional Art Materials by Karin Schminke, Dorothy Simpson Krause, Bonny Pierce Lhotka . A must have for integrating computer printing and mixed media techniques.
