Art Quilting
Creative expression with paint, print, and stitch is what art quilting is all about! Learn the techniques of machine quilting, improv piecing, and fabric surface design from the masters, then make your own statement quilt inspired by the galleries, profiles, and artistry of the The Quilting Company.
Our foremothers knew how to make a quilt using only what they had, from scraps of fabric to natural dyes.

In this piece, Lisa Kerpoe shows how to make a quilt from dyed fabrics using a rice cereal resist. Lisa wrote a series of articles on kitchen resists for Quilting Arts in 2011
