Fiber artists honor Elvis Presley in a collection that is as unique
as the King of Rock and Roll himself. The art quilts celebrate his
songs, movies, and life in an inspired and creative group of 95
works. Enjoy a wide range of interpretations, from realistic to
humorous to abstract. Quilts are accompanied by a mix of memories
of Elvis, descriptions of the making of these art quilts, and
details about the King, creating a one-of-a-kind treasury for Elvis
fans and collectors. As a bonus, Elvis devotees are challenged to
test their knowledge in a Name-This-Song visual guessing game.
A colorful celebration of the 59 US National Parks, this collection
of 177 original art quilts depicts the widely varying landscapes,
flora, and fauna of the parks. Basic facts about each of these
national treasures-from Acadia in Maine, to Voyageurs in Minnesota,
to Yosemite in California, to HaleakalAE in Hawaii-are included,
along with short writings from 64 park rangers and other personnel.
The book reveals individual glimpses into the passionate commitment
to preserve, protect, and enjoy these special places.
Experience (minus the crowds!) a unique travelogue celebrating our
nation's capital visually with art quilts. Fiber artists used their
talent and creativity to depict 103 special sights, sites, and
events in the Washington, DC, area, from the iconic to the lesser
known. You won't want to miss any of these, from the White House
and Senate to the Smithsonian museums, from the neighborhood of
Georgetown to an oasis of lotus flowers on the Anacostia River,
from the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington Cemetery to Manassas
Battlefield Park. Each art quilt is accompanied by interesting
facts about the site. For instance, would you like to visit the CIA
headquarters? Not possible! Did you know DC is the home of the
top-rated neonatology hospital in the US? And the Tidal Basin is
affected by the tides. Learn how history has shaped our capital and
cherish this unique memento.
Lively, colorful, and skillfully made fabric "portraits" of 182
endangered species bring them to real, vibrant life. Each portrait
features fascinating animal and plant facts from rescuers,
scientists, conservationists, and more: where they live, what their
superpowers are, why they are at risk, and how we can help.
Dedicated and passionate people who work to protect endangered
species share details of their roles and specialties, the planning
behind conservation measures, threats to healthy habitats, and
inspiring success stories. This book fosters eco-awareness and
responsibility with a hopeful and positive tone, not only educating
but inspiring action. A percentage of money earned by the author
from the sale of this book will be donated to the Sea Turtle
Conservancy and to the WILD Foundation.
