Jean Wells (1) (1943–)

“Journey to Inspired Art Quilting” by Jean Wells is an inspirational book for anyone who wants to learn a new style of art quilting. Wells has written another great book and I could not put this one down. Like a great novel, I just had to keep reading this art quilting book. With this book, I could really understand how Wells constructs and plans her quilts.
Journey to Inspired Art Quilting covers broad areas on learning: where to obtain ideas for making your quilts, how to plan a quilt, show more quilt construction, and ideas on finishing your quilt that do not use binding. A large section includes color theory and colors used in nature. There is another section on landscape quilts and using quilt journals and photography for inspiration.
The Journey to Inspired Art Quilting is easy to understand and gives me inspiration to try one of Wells’ art quilts myself. If you just want to look at pictures of scenery and flowers, this book will also satisfy you!

Beautiful project book for buttonhole applique. I love folkart so this is something I really enjoy. The book is well written, well illustrated and the patterns are usable.

Not as good as the first book, but still a nice collection of projects for people who like to do button hole stitch. Easy to use patterns and color pictures make this one to keep on the crafting shelf.
