Inspired by the Nation's Capital - A Fiber Art Souvenir of Washington, DC (Hardcover)

Experience (minus the crowds!) a unique travelogue celebrating our nation's capital visually with art quilts. Fiber artists used their talent and creativity to depict 103 special sights, sites, and events in the Washington, DC, area, from the iconic to the lesser known. You won't want to miss any of these, from the White House and Senate to the Smithsonian museums, from the neighborhood of Georgetown to an oasis of lotus flowers on the Anacostia River, from the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington Cemetery to Manassas Battlefield Park. Each art quilt is accompanied by interesting facts about the site. For instance, would you like to visit the CIA headquarters? Not possible! Did you know DC is the home of the top-rated neonatology hospital in the US? And the Tidal Basin is affected by the tides. Learn how history has shaped our capital and cherish this unique memento.
