How will historians know you quilted 50 or 100 years from now? Do you have a dozen quilts or a series of art pieces you'd like to show? Is there quilt research you’d like in a book format? Are you a textile artist looking to showcase your work internationally? Does your quilt guild want to publish a catalog of their upcoming community exhibit? Learn to publish your quilts or artwork, share your artist motivations, and more! YES – YOU CAN create and publish your own quilt or art catalog!
