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

Happy Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Thanksgiving.

stop.think.thank.

for those of you that know me well

you know that I love Thanksgiving more than just about anything else

it's like Christmas (Hanukkah, or any other December Holiday)

without

the presents

it's the best of both

you get the food the friends the family

without the 

"did the sweater I gave her fit"

but with the 

"I am so thankful for everything and anything I have in my life"

big or small, little or lots

you just have this day, even if you sit alone by yourself outside on the edge of the bay

you can

stop.think.thank.

i am thankful for all of you - my readers, my followers, my quilting friends 

from sri lanka to santa barbara and everywhere in between

thank you

 how many of you have been following

generation q magazine?

well, in honour of 

"oh thank cuteness"

I present

buddy

getting ready for Thanksgiving Dinner travels to a friend's home

(it's as close as I could get to the picture of the kid in the bath tub with bubbles)

I wish you all well this magical day

whatever your circumstance

may your thoughts turn to that for which you are thankful

I am thankful for you

HappiestDays.

natalie.
