Reviews"Cas Holmes is one of those artists who leaves you with a lot of questions. I was fortunate to spend a few days with her a few years back in several workshops that changed the way I look at textile art. There is no confusion over deciphering if her work is an art quilt. It isn't. It is textile art, stitched through layers of fabrics or paper, or cast off clothing or the discarded. There is no worrying over the oft regulated stitched through three layers surrounded by a definitive binding." - Stitchress Stumbles
