And Then There Was Light by Dirkje van der Horst-Beetsma, hardback, self-published I believe. ISBN 978-90-70655-49-5, price 25 Euros, contact artquilt@xs4all.nl

And the light shone so brightly. All quilters should get a hold of a copy of this book. Dirkje’s work is extraordinary and it is showcased here in this beautiful hardback book with fabulous photography by Diana Post. 

Dirkje’s work brings together the rare combination of excellent colour sense, a feeling for fabric, integrated embroidery and texture that simply lift her work far beyond the average and into the stratosphere. The art quilts in this book are amazing. 

96 pages of pure inspiration. This book has bilingual – Dutch-English text and is filled with sophisticated, modern quilts. Not only recommended but I regard this book as a necessity.
