This was created to document the first exhibit of the FGM quilts at AQS, Nashville in 2004. All the quilts use the Rainbow Fairie pattern by Linda M. Poole which she had taught the year before in Nashville. Each page has a picture of the quilt and the fairie tale that goes with it. Each page is quilted, but the back of the page is just more of the same fabric from the front. A variety of prepared fabric was used to print the text and pictures. All the edge and backing fabric came from my stash!! I thought about this project for a long time and was a little stymied by how to bind it. Fabric Art Journals by Pam Sussman was published a year after this was finished. Having that Pam's book would have made making the quilted book much easier.
These are a few of the pages from the quilted book. The book is travelling with the actual quilts.
