Leni Levenson Wiener

Leni Levenson Wiener has published four books, Thread Painting, Photo-inspired Art Quilts, 3-Fabric Quilts and the newly released Pictorial Art Quilt Guidebook. Her art quilts are exhibited around the world, and she is a member of the Board of Directors and Chair of Exhibitions for SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates), an international organization of art quilters.

Besides teaching a variety of quilt classes locally, Leni also gives workshops based on all four books and does talks and trunk shows of her work. She has a blog: http://blog.leniwiener.com/ and a website www.leniwiener.com.

Pictorial Art Quilt Guidebook is now available. This book is essentially a workshop with Leni you can do at home, the book will take you through each step from photo to finish and even include some mis-steps so you can see how Leni evaluates things that aren't going well and makes changes. You will also find a guide for common elements in art quilts and how to achieve each with a single fabric, two fabrics or multiple fabrics. These include things like water, grass, hair, skin, animal feathers and fur and a whole lot more. You will also find a helpful Art Quilters Value card that you can cut out of the book and use to help make fabric decisions--or you can purchase a laminated card --visit www.leniwiener.com for more information.
