Where Liberty Dwells, There is My Country. Terry Clothier Thompson, creator of our beautiful 2005 block-of-the-month quilt, is a quilt designer and historian. The blocks in this quilt commemorate the centennial years of United States history, years when there was an abundance of cotton fabric. Prints designed to celebrate America's 100th birthday appeared in quilts with patterns that reflected social commentary for women who had not yet voted. Easy to assemble, the quilt is designed to appeal to both piecers and appliquers alike. The blocks are set on point around the center medallion. The resulting quilt is quite striking.

In Quilting In The Morning Calm, Shirley MacGregor and Sheila Steers turn a quilter's eye to Korea's ancient Chosun Dynasty, and to the works of Sim Saimdang. Born in the early 1500's this very talented woman quietly sidestepped the harsh restrictions of the times to express her artistic gifts through embroidery, calligraphy, poetry and painting. She painted simple but elegant representations of plants and insects on decorative screens to grace her family's living quarters. Here an international group of quilt artists interpret seven of these beautiful paintings in applique. We invite you to join them in celebrating the spirit of one of Korea's most notable women. The book features 17 beautiful quilts by quilt artists from the US, Canada, Korea, the UK & New Zealand, full-size tear-out patterns for each design, biographical information on participating quilters, and comments on their work, cultural notes on Korea and the life of Sim Saimdang, and helpful information on appliqué methods and materials.  Author: Shirley MacGregor and Sheila Steers; The Carriage Trade Company; 95 pages; softcover.
