Kingston, Ontario, Canada:: Transformer Press,, 2023.. Edition of 9. Textile book of 16 patches: 9" square closed, extends to a yard square. Meander construction. Screen printed. Set in Book Antiqua. Multi color fabrics. Signed and numbered by the artist. . Lise Melhorn-Boe: "Thank-You Note for a Quilt' is a meander book, made up with pieced fabric pages, which open in a spiral to form a 16-patch quilt in a Falling Leaves pattern. The poem, by Barbara Kingsolver, is dedicated to her friend Neta Webb-Findley, who taught Kingsolver to quilt. The text speaks about living on a piece of land for one's whole life, and sharing skills and friendship with neighbours. "As with many of the books in this series about needlework, the text is screen-printed on fabric, in an eccentric edition of 9. I also screen-printed some of the fabric, like the pieces upon which the first verse is printed. "I have relearned that it is a mistake to try to piece fabrics of different weights in a quilt, especially velvet. I did know this but wanted to use fabric I already had, left-overs from other projects, rather than buying new fabric. Much of the fabric came from my stash, which was augmented recently when a woman I know asked me to go to her deceased mother's house and take as much of HER fabric stash as I wanted. And another friend brought back some interesting printed fabrics from Indonesia and shared them with friends. "Permission to use the poem was granted by HarperCollins Publishers."
