You've seen her work.
In Galleries. At shows.
Maybe you were lucky to study with her at Asilomar.
Did you know she has two great books published?
If you haven't, and you want to make award winning quilts,
these books are definitely packed with step by step information.
Dream Landscapes
Honestly, step by step.
I personally love this "Selecting and marking the Fabrics" tip.
The pictures are more than just beauty shot pics.
By page 11 you have your 'toolbox'
You have a color lesson, materials review...even a sewing kit list.
By page 18, your top is prepared, and by page 22,
you've used Rose's Applique technique, and you have created a quilt top.
Stitches and beading basics follow.
But if you want more detailed information about this,
Head on to book two.
Exploring Embellishments
Once again, within the first 16 pages, you have learned about beads, embellishments
and been given a pretty great tool box.
Then it's on to a artful applique summary.
Both books have patterns for making additional quilts.
And both books have a great
ArtistsGallery
and
GuestArtistsGallery
(nicely put, Rose)
And as far as giveaways go, this has to be an all time great.
Two books.

I just found your shop and blog on-line. Love Hawaii....been to your shores three times. There are colors there that are no place else. I haven't been to your shop, but I have been to a shop on the big island Hawaii. It was up in the mountains...very nice. I picked up some buttons made from coconut shells. One of these days I will break down and use them?
The books would totally enspire me to embellish my newest wallhanging. Thanks for the giveaway!
These books look lovely. I'd like to learn a new way of making landscapes, and it's time I tried embellishments and what better way but with Rose Hughes's books.
Thanks very much,
Kathleen C.
Would love to win these lovely books! Thank you for the opportunity to enter the drawing.
Oh, those look interesting. I made a landscape quilt using 2 inch squares, but I have an idea for another one and the squares just aren't quite doing it for me this time.
Lovely work, I have always wanted to make a landscape but think I need a class to move me through the steps. This book looks lie a wonderful start.
Thank you for another great set of books. Please enter me into this drawing for RH books. I've never done embellishment and desire to make a crazy quilt. Also, have desire to make better "landscape" quality backgrounds for flowers. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Fabulous! I would love to win these books! Thanks so much for the offer!
Rose is the best! Kind, generous, and super creative! Great books!
I'd love to win these books! I shopped at your booth and Long Beach and loved your fabrics!
Wow these look like great books! Thanks for including me in your sweet giveaway :-)
These books look so interesting. I've never tried a landscape quilt, but I would like to do one some day. Thanks for the giveaway!
Great books. I'd love to win.
These 2 books look amazing. I've never attempted a landscape quilt and it is soooo out of my comfort zone, so maybe the zone needs to be stretched a bit. Thank you for the stretching opportunity!
