Back Cover Information Photo Album Quilts - Quilts That Share Familiar Life Stories Through Pictures Capture memories and everyday experiences on appliqué quilts inspired by photographs. Wendy Butler Berns gives you all the techniques you need, plus instructions and patterns for three charming projects. She also provides tips and suggestions for adapting 10 additional quilts to make them your own. You'll use her unique method of creating line drawings of your photos that will serve as guides for transferring those images onto fabric. Your finished work will be a cherished heirloom from one generation to the next. About the Author Since 1993, Wendy Butler Berns has been capturing the world in quilts. Her quilt designs move beyond the realm of stitched fabric pieces to unexpectedly vivid tapestries that tell impressionistic stories. Her quilting style fluctuates between traditional-with-a-twist and contemporary art, and she often uses nature and real-life settings in photographs as her inspiration. Each design evolves through Wendy's desire to depict the colorful yet changing world around her—whether it be a garden landscape, an endearing family member, or an artistic reminder of the sanctity of our natural surroundings. Wendy's quilts tell stories of people, places and journeys that have shaped her life. Finding a way to interpret the messages from these stories has given her the chance to create original, tangible, and textural images that she can share with others. Fabric and sewing have been a part of Wendy's life for more than 45 years. Her passion for the art of quilting is readily contagious; it inspires others to challenge their own creative boundaries and keeps her students marveling at her enthusiastic play of color, original design, embellishment, and unabashed free-motion quilting technique. Since 1997, Wendy has traveled the country teaching and lecturing at national quilt conventions, quilting guilds, and quilting retreats. Described as an 'enthusiastic, encouraging, entertaining and knowledgeable teacher,' Wendy strives to share her extraordinary art with anyone who wishes to learn it. Far from hiding her 'trade secrets,' Wendy hopes that her techniques, gained from hours of trial and error, will take root around the world. Wendy lives in Lake Mills, Wisconsin with her husband, Tom. She also looks forward to time with her daughter, Emily and two sons, Christopher and Greg.
