{"product_id":"9784770030993","title":"Quilt Artistry: Inspired Designs from the East","description":"\u003cp\u003eYoshiko Jinzenji began quilting after she came upon quilts made by Canadian Mennonites and was deeply moved by their resonant, sacred quality. The richly minimalist quilts she makes today are as powerful as those that originally inspired her. \u003ci\u003eQuilt Artistry\u003c\/i\u003e, available now in a paperback edition, presents Jinzenji’s unforgettable quilt creations in 100 color photos, and 300 black-and-white photos and diagrams. There are also a total of 90 projects for everyone from beginners to the most advanced quilters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJinzenji is a superb dyer and often makes quilts from fabric or fiber she colors with natural dyes, including very subtle and rich bamboo-dyed white silk. In other quilts she uses antique fabric collected from around the world, and in still others utilizes innovative synthetics such as black metallic cloth created by well-known textile designer Jun’ichi Arai. No matter what the material, her quilts all have a remarkable, quiet power. Like classic North American quilts, Jinzenji’s work resonates with a spiritual quality, but one that is rooted in an Asian, even Buddhist, sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJinzenji has always wanted to \"give something back\" to the Western quilting tradition that first inspired her, and with this book, she is wonderfully successful. In addition to full-size quilts, Jinzenji demonstrates how to make quilted pillows, clutch purses, necklaces, decorative objects, table mats, tiny miniature quilt \"mandalas,\" and even a hammock. Detailed patterns and instructions are included for all projects shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuilt makers, as well as anyone with an interest in textiles or design, will find \u003ci\u003eQuilt Artistry\u003c\/i\u003e as inspirational as it is practical.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kodansha USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041767309552,"sku":"9784770030993","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9784770030993_p0.jpg?v=1763714250","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9784770030993","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
