Visions showcases stunning examples of one of the most exciting mediums
for creative expression that has emerged for multi-media artists: the miniature

purpose of covering a bed. This book will document the fascinating evolution of
quilts from bed cover to multi-media art pieces.

Christine Adolph;
Bridget Hoff; Jane LaFazio; Teesha
Moore;
Amanda Perkins; Susan Shie & Beryl Taylor
