In addition to time constraints, I can hear some of you saying, ”I can quilt but I can’t paint!” Well, regardless of your skill level or experience, after following Rebekah’s step by step instructions, which explore a variety of techniques, you’ll never make the statement again. The author of More Fabric Art Collage has been active in the craft and quilt industries for over ten years. In addition to teaching and designing, Ms. Meier has had her designs and featured in numerous magazines.
This is also not Rebekah Meier’s first dance with the book publishing industry. Her first book, Fabric Art Collage: 40+ Mixed Media Techniques was well received. To complete the book, she spent a great deal of time experimenting with ways to transform fabric into art and has continued after the first book was released. “Since then I have continued to experiment with ways to combines fiber and art materials, resulting in techniques that pair traditional quilt materials and papers with art mediums,” states Meier, “With this new book it has been my goal to stretch the boundaries of what is considered traditional, adding my own spin to materials that almost everyone has on hand.” 2013 Asian Fabric 17
