‘Improvisational Contemporary Quilts’ - new book

Congratulations to award winning Sydney quilter, teacher, designer, textile artist and now writer Jessica Wheelahan on the publication of her first book of quilt designs and patterns, ‘Improvisational Contemporary Quilts’, published by Quiltmania.

Jessica Wheelahan lives and works in Sydney, Australia. For the last ten years, Jessica chose textiles as a means to express herself and creates quilts inspired by fashion, art, design and pop culture. In her creative process, she mainly uses improvisational techniques which she loves teaching to her students.

In her very first book Improvisational Contemporary Quilts, Jessica guides us in her creative universe, gives us tips and techniques to free oneself from the burden of the more traditional methods. Liberty in the shapes, freedom in the assembling, Jessica revisits in a daring and original way the traditional blocs that find a brand-new dimension and a strong visual impact.

For all of you who always wished to push back the limits, while never daring to actually do it, for the colours, the movement and the joy that burst out of her quilts, Jessica’s book is a must-have! … Quiltmania

    You can order it from Quiltmania, or from the Australian distributor Can Do Books
