Product Description
An oxymoron is a combination of contradictory or incongruous words. As fabric interpretations of oxymorons, the 40 quilts in a traveling exhibit opening at the Museum of the American quilter's Society in August 2001 are also contradictions - in title, technique, focus, and design. Quilts in the traveling exhibit were made by many respected and well-known designers. From a quilt named Clearly Deafening Silence, and more, each is a riddle in weave. Meet the designers, see their sketches, and learn the unique thought processes, approaches, and techniques used to create each quilt. REVIEW: A reader from Brentwood, TN says, 'The title itself is a contradiction. 'Absurdly Logical Quilts.'The author has examined the quilts, and contradictory titles, of 40 top American present day quilters. She has explained in simple detail the range of mediums, materials and techniques used by each quilter. It is interesting how each quilter describes her own work of art...'
