Foreword by quilting thought-leader Meg Cox, author of The Quilter's Catalog

Victoria Findlay Wolfe is an award-winning quilter, artist, and teacher whose designs balance traditional, modern, and art-quilting styles. In The Quilting Experience, she shares 12 original block designs for quilters to create their own unique "Experience Quilt." Each block represents a profound life theme such as Friendship, Travel, Celebration, and Grief, to let crafters reflect their personal life narrative. Clear instructions for each block allow for multiple size and color variations. 

Also included are

• thought-provoking, poignant, and amusing stories shared by diverse quilters, to illuminate each Quilting Experience life theme;

• 11 additional projects for quilts and pillows, with lessons and tips on techniques like efficient partial seam construction, to collage together blocks of various sizes beyond a basic grid layout;

• a foreword by quilting thought-leader Meg Cox, emphasizing how diversity among quilters offers strength to all.

Connect through the stories of a diverse community of quilting bees as your life's journey takes visual shape with The Quilting Experience.
