"She teaches readers how to use road maps, tourist maps, utility company maps, as well as imaginary maps in quilting . . . At the end, she offers three treats: embellishing with haiku, designing travel maps with stones and shadows, and mapping memories and landscapes of families and homes." —Publishers Weekly
"Her style here is collage—a blend of texture, material and manipulation—and her theme is the map. Each quilt in her collection reflects a broad range of approaches to the maps she was inspired by. (Bonus: Her students' gallery is total eye candy!) Delightful!" —Generation Q Magazine
"This book is bound to appeal to the fiber artists among us . . . This book is a certified spring board to creativity. All I need now is some time!" —The Canadian Quilter Magazine
