Heidi Parkes: Soft Magic invites us into the tactile realm of Heidi Parkes, a renowned quilter, mender, and educator. Parkes is well-known for her Diary Quilts—personal reflections on her daily life expressed through fabric—and her delicate hand stitching and improvisational quilting techniques. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Heidi Parkes: Soft Magic (March 6–June 8, 2023), this catalog is the first to highlight Parkes’s profound connection to textiles, tracing her journey, through imagery and detailed descriptions, from the early stages of her craft to her most recent works.

This catalog is beautifully produced and printed by Bookmobile Design & Digital Publishers.

Catalogs will be available for in-person pick-up on Saturday, March 15, 2025, where Heidi can personally sign your copy, and for shipping on or after March 17, 2025.
