From the early influences of her native home in the scenic Alberta foothills to lessons learned through her teaching and travels as a renowned fiber artist, Judith shares with you a prolific album of art, original watercolors, and photography. Judith Baker Montano's love affair with needle and thread began in traditional quiltmaking. Experience the delights of crazy quilting, silk ribbon embroidery, and various needleart techniques as you view Judith's one-of-a-kind collages, landscapes, art garments, and accessories. Art & Inspirations is packed with tips and techniques, so you can create beautiful heirlooms of your own. Learn the secrets of embroidery techniques such as Judith's Curled Leaf and the Montano Sloppy Knot. In her chapter on Land and Seascapes, Judith describes how traditional embroidery stitches, metallic threads, and fabrics can be used to create realistic natural elements in your work. Judith reveals her innovative piecing techniques for crazy quilting, along with valuable information which will help you select fabrics and embellishments that are balanced in texture and pattern. Presented are the Montano Method, a five-sided centerpiece method for piecing traditional crazy quilts, and the Fan Method for piecing on a foundation larger than a twelve-inch square.

This is an interesting book to look through for inspiration but is somewhat more advanced than I am. For an experienced crazy quilter, it would be well received, I'm sure.

Rich Treasure Trove
I have 2 of Judith's other books which are all well-written and helpful. She is a unique artist with an eye for the beauriful and unusual. This book is extemely interesting , as it intertwines her life story, lots of examples of her amazing work and some how-tos. That's a lot to pack into 144 pages. The photography is outstanding and the book is rich with gorgeous colors, wonderf ul designs and a very interesting story. Anyone who loves flowers, ribbons, lace, charms and rich color would love this beautiful book. I'm so glad I found it. I didn't even know it existed but was just browsing by categories (which I highly recommend.) I love alibris. I always find something to fit my tight budget and have found some special out-of-print books. It is the first place I go when searching for a book of any kind.
