Celebrate the Day With Quilts
Shannon Shirley
Schiffer Publishing; $24.99

I know many of us make art to celebrate holidays, such as Christmas, Channukah, or Independence Day. Did you ever think about making something to celebrate National Gumdrop Day or National Frog Jumping Day? That’s the idea behind Shannon Shirley’s collaboration with 53 artists. Each artist chose an offbeat holiday and created a unique piece to celebrate that day. The eclectic collection is fun, and I loved reading the stories behind each of the quilts and the various construction methods. (Disclaimer: I was one of the artists included in the book, and I celebrated National Culinarian’s Day.)

You can look for the book at your favorite quilt shop or book retailer. Here’s a link to Amazon if you would like to learn more about the book.
