This book was written when quilt book publishers still thought that quiltmakers had brains and didn&#8217;t insist on spoon feeding us repetitive patterns with no challenge or thought required. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/search\/search?q=+Diana+Swim+Wessel&amp;t=author\"> Diana Swim Wessel<\/a> takes the reader through a variety of exercises to get those creative juices flowing. Useful for more than just quiltmakers as the exercises and ideas apply to a variety of different artistic endeavors. I am very sorry that this was her only book and she seems to have disappeared.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/591995?utm_medium=api&amp;utm_source=blog_review\">View all of my quilt and non-quilt reviews.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspiration Odyssey: A Journey of Self-Expression in Quilts by Diana Swim Wessel My review rating: 5 of 5 starsThis is one of best books about creativity I have ever read.
