Scrap Easy: Building A Collage Quilt

Scrap Easy is a fun and sassy way to create an art quilt with little measuring and no stress. The book includes a pattern. This pattern offers the quilter a chance to use saved scraps and possibly empty that scrap bag/box.

Aisha Lumumba was born in Georgia in a rural suburb of Atlanta, known as McDonough, in the mid 1950's. She now lives in Atlanta, and has a passion for many artistic mediums. Ms. Lumumba learned quilting by watching the elders make utilitarian quilts. Her first love was sewing and creating art projects with fabric which eventually led to quilting. She started her first quilt at age 18 and now has more than 30 years of quilting experience, not only practical uses, but as a form of artistic expression. She has appeared on TV One's Living With Soul, WSB's People to People, and interviewed by various other media affiliates. She has published two cookbooks, a book of short stories, an exhibit catalog, and a novel. She was featured in A Time, A Season: A Visual Tribute to Oprah Winfrey spearheaded by Janelle Dowell, I Now Have A Ribbon by Ken Gehle, Artistic Expressions by Quilters of Color by Ebony Stitchers Quilt Guild, Cutting Edge Art Quilts by Mary Kerr, and African Americans For The Arts 2013 by Aisha Lumumba, Marcella Muhammad, and Dianne Quarles.
