My next book: "Art Quilt Portfolio: People and Portraits" will be available in April 2013.
"Art Quilt Portfolio: The Natural World" (Lark, 2012 $24.95) is available in the SAQA Bookstore. All sale proceeds go to support SAQA's exhibition programs. A matching exhibition, "The Natural World," was shown at the International Quilt Festival in Houston.
The exhibition "Masters 2," one work by each of these master artists, will be shown at the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts from January 19 - April 15th and at the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts in Melbourne, Florida from May 18 - August 24, 2013. I will be giving gallery walks at both venues (see listings below). For more information about the exhibition, check the SAQA website.

TESTIMONIAL:
"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!"
