So, quilting small led me to artist made books. I'm thinking, how can I still quilt without the long, drawn out, heavy lifting (though fun!) procedure that is quilting large quilts. I did research and found out about artist made books.
Artist made books can be made from anything, so naturally I applied fabric, batting, threads and quilting.
This first book I want to share is Passages, inspired by my love of dolls, doll making, and quilting. Materials and techniques include fabric, trim, threads, decoupage, quilting, poetry, threads, embroidery, altered bendi doll, sequins and beads.

The next quilted book I'd like to share is called Oba's Book. Oba is an Orisa in the Yoruba/Lukumi spiritual tradition. She is charged with writing the names of the dead in her book. Materials and techniques include hand painted cloth, beadwork, machine quilting, stippling and the use of found objects.
The last book I'll share is called Signatures of Gods and Men. Materials and techniques include calligraphy, Hatian veve, ankindra, West African woven cloth, Bogolanfini (mudcloth), ribbon, inks, cowrie shells, threads, watercolor and machine quilting.
Well, that's it for artist made books, for now.
