Product Description
QUILTING BOOK by Andrea Tsang Jackson :
A Modern Creative Journey Through an Age-Old Craft
Collection : BOOKS and PATTERNS
Author : Andrea Tsang Jackson from 3rd Story Workshop
In this groundbreaking journey of modern quilting, artist Andrea Tsang Jackson combines thoughtful essays and hands-on projects that weave traditional craft with contemporary creative practice. Through five innovative "Quests", she guides quilters to develop their artistic voice while exploring techniques that push the boundaries of traditional quilting.
Whether translating paintings into fabric, capturing memories through texture, or leading community quilt projects, Jackson's approach combines practical instruction with deeper prompts and exercises sparking creative growth. She shows how quilting can provide both structure and freedom, helping you find order in chaos while embracing the beauty of uncertainty—one stitch or quilt block at a time.
Perfect for quilters who:
❤ Seek to develop their unique creative voice
❤ Want to explore modern interpretations of traditional techniques
❤ Are ready to move beyond following patterns to designing original blocks or quilts (patterns and instructions included!)
❤ Value the connection between craft and community
Bonus: Includes free downloadable templates and bonus content to support your creative journey.
Part philosophical guide, part project workbook, this book invites you to discover how quilting can be both a practical craft and a powerful tool for artistic expression and self-discovery.
❤️ ABOUT the AUTHOR :
Andrea Tsang Jackson is a textile artist, quilt designer, author and teacher. After working in various design fields and settings ranging from architecture to museums, the quilting medium called to her as a way to explore place, belonging, and agency. She holds a Master of Architecture from McGill University and a Master of Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. With her art, Andrea strives to push the limits of the quilting medium by exploring scale and dimension and moving traditionally domestic objects into the public realm. Her work often celebrates community and collaboration, and explores ideas of belonging. The rich history of quilting also heavily influences her practice; she sees it as an extension of community across time. Andrea's first book, Patchwork Lab: Gemology, was published by Lucky Spool in 2019. Andrea lives in Kjipuktuk / Halifax with her husband and two sons.

Great for Newer...
Well written and really interesting, this book is a great read for quilters needing to find something new to do, to recover their sewjo, or understand themselves as artists. On the other hand, if you have been quilting for many years, you probably don't need this.
