My new book "Masters: Art Quilts, Volume 2" (Lark, 2011 $24.95) is now available in the SAQA Bookstore: http://www.saqa.com/store-detail.php?cat=19&ID=11
A matching exhibit, "Masters 2," of one work by each artist from the book will premiere at the International Quilt Festival in Houston on November 3rd and then travel to Cincinnati, Long Beach, the Festival of Quilts in the U.K., the New England Quilt Museum and other venues. For information, check the SAQA website.
Quilting Arts magazine just published a rave review of the book saying that it is "...a beautifully photographed book that is equal parts eye-candy and reference took, worthy of being read and flipped through again and again."

"New England Quilt Museum has been fortunate to have Martha Sielman present programs for our members and attendees several times over the past few years and each time she has delighted the audience with a well-organized, entertaining, and witty talk. Although one can tell that Martha takes great care in piecing together her presentations, the delivery is always natural and relaxed—she doesn’t “read” a lecture. When discussing an art quilt, Martha has the ability to help others notice the art and craft of the piece and see things that they may otherwise have missed were it not for her insightful guidance. Even those familiar with art quilts—the choir listening to the preacher--come away with a new appreciation of the subject matter!"
--Connie Colom Barlow, Executive Director
New England Quilt Museum
