Art Quilt Collage

Paint and Stitch Deeper Meaning into Every Quilt

Discover the 10th anniversary edition of Deborah Boschert’s Art Quilt Collage—a richer, more inspiring guide to creating original textile art. Combining fabric, paint, and stitch, this updated edition features all-new artwork from Deborah’s evolving studio practice, plus fresh student examples that bring her Eight Design Guides to life. Expanded tips, “lightbulb” techniques, and the practical Design Checklist make every stage—from inspiration and fabric selection to surface design, stitching, and finishing—clear and approachable. Warm, encouraging guidance and “See What Happens” exercises invite you to experiment boldly and develop a personal, meaningful art quilt voice.

• Deborah Boschert’s shares her Design Checklist to refine any quilt design, from inspiration to finished art quilts

“See What Happens” exercises build confidence, spark ideas, and encourage fearless experimentation; and all new “Close Look” sections offer behind-the-scenes insight into selected quilts—sharing design decisions, challenges and solutions, and connections between pieces—to deepen readers’ understanding of the creative process.

• Perfect companion for quilt guilds, classes, and shops introducing makers to art quilting for the first time
