According to Wikipedia, Art Quilts are an art form that uses both modern and traditional quilting techniques to create art objects.
Local author, magazine writer, blogger, and quilter Linzee Kull McCray's new book "Art Quilts of the Midwest" showcases the work of 20 artists whose works were inspired by life in the Midwest.
Tuesday evening, April 13th, Linzee will be here at ICPL to discuss the research and creation of her book. Astrid Hilger Bennet, who wrote the forward, will talk about art quilts and the fabrics used in them. Erick Wolfmeyer, the only Iowa artists included in the book, will show a 10 minute film about his work. Both Astrid and Erick will have quilts on display at the event. This event begins at 7:00 pm in Meeting Room A and is cosponsored by ICPL and Prairie Lights Books.
