...with Angela Walters

...with Angela Walters

head back to Angela's post and leave a comment

for a chance to have your own copy of

A Modern Twist

random number generator drawing will take place March 15 

for a signed copy of the book A Modern Twist (US) or ebook (International)

 

...with Angela Walters

I think of Angela as a revolutionary quilter

that really changed how we look at finishing a quilt

 

it's important that we all know about quilting our finished tops

turning them in to quilts

and not just leaving them as tops

and it's important to quilt our tops in a manner that enhances the quilt

it's important to think about

color + contrast + composition

in quilting

thank you, Angela, for adding that concept to

A Modern Twist

 

if you can't attend a conference and take one of Angela's classes in person

there are a lot of ways that she makes her ideas available to us

 on a more personal note

I have enjoyed Angela's work - quilting, fabrics, books, lectures

for quite some time now

(how many of you remember this quilt on the cover of Quilters Newsletter Magazine?)

 so it would be an understatement to say that

A Modern Twist

was a joy to create with Angela's contributions to the book

not only the beautiful quilting

but the beautiful spirit 

that is Angela.

mother, wife, quilter, teacher

thank you so very much....

....with Angela

means the world to me!

each day, a friend will give a shout out to the book

A Modern Twist

and will speak a little, from their perspective, on one of the three main topics in the book

COLOR + CONTRAST + COMPOSITION 

each day I will post my own introduction to the "quilter of the day"

each friend will ask you to leave a comment on their blog

the random number generator will select a comment on March 15

and I will send that person a copy of the book

signed by both myself and Angela Walters

who not only quilted the quilts in the book

but contributed a chapter

about

COLOR + CONTRAST + COMPOSITION in quilting!

let me just say one last thing

 I firmly believe that we all stand together

in this community

called

quilting

I value what it is that each and every one

of these folks is doing in their own quilting life!!
 

while I am over the moon about having my very own book

I am equally delighted

to have this community of 

open, sharing, positive, quilters 

come together

here...

now.

it is, after all, THEIR blog....and I am honored 

to be included! 

so, I hope you will enjoy the next ten days

for now, please leave me a comment about the 
most giving moment 
you have experienced in your quilting life
 for a chance to have a signed copy
of
A Modern Twist



it's Monday, and time to start your week off with
Victoria Findlay Wolfe

head on over to her post

for some of her own notes on Contrast
