Bethany Garner and several artist friends in Canada will have their work in 1000 QUILT INSPIRATIONS coming soon to your favourite book seller...

A Quarry Book by Sandra Sider

This new book is a tribute to the many ART QUILT makers around the world.

Dr. Sandra Sider sought submissions in 2014 for a spot in the new book and many quilters quickly responded. The jury selected the featured artists along with Dr. Sider. Sider is a New York quilt artist and independent curator, who has published articles and reviews concerning fiber art and other aspects of visual culture for three decades. Her graduate degrees include an M.A. in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. She was President of Studio Art Quilt Associates (2010-2013), and is currently Curator for the Texas Quilt Museum.
A number of Canadian artists including our SAQA Central Canada friends have work in the new book due to be distributed mid-March 2015.  If all of the other artists will let me know, I will post all of the names...  Here are a few I know as of today:
 
ARJA SPEELMAN
DIANE EASTHAM
DIANNE GIBSON
HEATHER DUBREUIL
LINDA KITTMER
MARY B PAL

 
Great to see our SAQA Canadian Artists featured in all of these great publications.
