Synopsis
Robbi Joy Eklow and Quilting Arts, LLC, have fused forces to bring you Free Expression: The Art and Confessions of a Contemporary Quilter by Robbi Joy Eklow. The full-color book features many of Robbi’s popular quilts as well as chapters on: fused appliqué (save your machine for the quilting); free-motion quilting techniques (so comprehensive it could be a separate book); innovative finishing techniques (to make your quilts wall art not wallflowers); and dyeing your own fabrics (create a river of colors as unique as you are).

About the Author
Robbi Joy Eklow has been sewing, beading, and playing with fiber since she was a kindergartner getting up early to watch moon launches. For awhile her love of science and math overcame her love of textiles while she earned a degree in engineering from Purdue University. She dyes all of her own fabric for her quilts. Robbi started her first quilt in 1976, during the Great Quilt Revival.
Robbi has written a first-person humor column on her adventures in quilting, Goddess of the Last Minute, for Quilting Arts Magazine since Summer 2002. She teaches internationally and her work has been exhibited in major shows where she occasionally wins ribbons.
She lives in Chicago, IL
Review
June 2007 The author, 'a contemporary quilter' produces bright quilts using raw edged fused applique with free motion quilting. She builds up her designs using photography and computer images. There is an excellent chapter on free motion quilting. It covers machine tension, needles, threads etc. and includes useful exercises for beginners. Eklow dyes her own fabric and describes her methods clearly. Her favourite subjects appear to be guitars, stylised flowers, jugs and vases. There are patterns of her quilts, which can be photocopied for your own use. The book has colourful illustrations and teaches many techniques. It is written in a relaxed conversational style. * Patchwork & Quilting *
