Beautiful collection of poetry

Threads of Experience is a beautiful collection of poetry centered around aging which alternates bookspace with fabric portraits of graceful aging and wisdom with wrinkles. Threads here hold a double meaning: 1)those stitched together to form the faces revealing years of love, pain and laughter, and 2) those words stitched together to form fluid poetry, enhancing each quilt image presented in this wonderful book.

Museum of the American Quilter's Society

This past weekend I saw Ms. Scherer's special exhibit at the MAQ(see above) in Paducah, KY. This woman's work is incredible and this book is a wonderful representation. I think I may have found my new favorite current artist.
