Women Who Come to the Table - Introducing our Book!

We are so happy and thrilled to announce that our book "Women Who Come to the Table: Selected Works from Dinner at Eight Artists," is available to purchase on Amazon!  
Join the creative team of Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison as they look back on six years of the Dinner At Eight Artists collaboration, including the current exhibit "Reflections," that will debut at the International Quilt Market and Festival in Houston. In this book, sixty-five juried artists “come to the table” to share gorgeous and thought-provoking images. Their more than 200 art quilts have traveled to numerous shows and have been seen by thousands internationally. Read their personal commentaries about the challenge of working within the framework of a theme and specific size. Accompany Jamie and Leslie as they take you to scenes from their artist dinners and invite you to try an artist-inspired recipe for a dish to bring to your own table.
Self published, designed by Loris Bogue, and written by Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison.   Click here for the link to purchase the book on Amazon.
