The World Needs Your Next Quilt
Open to any page in this book and you’ll find a flexible framework designed to add intention and nuance to your next quilt. Unlike conventional how-to manuals, this book centers on the narrative of your quilt and offers practical step-by-step ideas to align every design decision you make to support the story your quilt tells.
Prior to Zak Foster's author talk, we welcome you to join The Bubbler at Madison Public Library for a pre-event artist reception at 6 p.m. in Diane Endres Ballweg Art Gallery (third floor of Central Library). Light food and refreshments will be provided in celebration of the gallery opening.
Zak Foster
Zak is a community-taught artist whose work draws on Southern textile traditions and repurposed fabrics. He practices an approach to design that is based in narrative and guided by intuition. He is especially drawn to preserving the stories of quilts and explores stories we tell ourselves about the past, present, and future in his work. His work has been featured in on the red carpet of the Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as various magazines, websites, and galleries. His book The World Needs Your Next Quilt and the community he hosts, the Quilty Nook, connect and inspire quilters and makers all over the world.
