And, I am pretty jazzed that my books made it across the ocean and through customs & through the dock workers slow down in Seattle, in time for their actual release date. My books and the shop owner books have been shipped -- so next week I'll be signing & sending out all the pre-orders. (there is still a very small window - 1/20 is cut-off to order from me to get a signed copy & the free Free-Falling pattern.) FYI-Books ship to Amazon next week -- so they'll be able to start filling their pre-orders after that.
Phew!!!
What a grand two weeks this has been. The sharings of my fellow quilt peeps along with all the give away fun. I wished for each of you an opportunity to see all the ins & outs of my new book and a bunch of chances to win an e-book. I also wished for each of you the opportunity to pick up for free twelve #loveletterhearts so that you would have enough to make three long panels if you choose -- like mine.
Each stop though, still has their pattern give-away posted so I will be giving you the direct links to their postings along with their give-away cut off dates and a reminder of their WORD just in case you are starting the tour today.
As you read this I will be catching another plane -- this time to Miami where I'll be spending the weekend with the Ocean Waves Quilters. I'm hoping for a opportunity to run through my old neighborhood (Miami Beach) and put my feet into the waters of the Atlantic. I used to be one of those crazies that went down to the beach to watch the sun come up, but since I will not have a car of my own I probably will not be able to cross this off my list. I will be sure to take pictures & report back if I do!
Meanwhile...

I did manage to get every block so now it is on me on what I am going to do with them....again thanks so much for this fun tour....

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this blog hop and sharing your blocks with us. I just love the 3-panel tree quilt at the top of your blog. Yep, that's what I'm going to make - one for myself and one for a charity quilt auction we have every year. Thanks again for sharing your talents.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration your book is to us quilters. I would like to do a quilt featuring butterflies with the Fast-Piece applique method.

Thank you for writing this book to share your wonderful unique applique technique. I love the couching of yarns and the use of beading to embellish your work. I have a picture that I plan to try this technique out. I also want to thank you for this fun trip through other web sites with interesting people and talents and great things that they are sharing. I even subscribed to a few. Looking forward to getting your book and thank you for this wonderful opportunity to learn and share.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the great tute and this fun blog tour. I'm working on a Valentine table runner with your words and was hoping for the XOXO for my 4th block. I'm not enlarging as much as yours but so far so good!! Thanks so much for the chances to win an e-copy of your fab book! Enjoy your trip to Miami!

ReplyDeletesome of the words are perfect for my granddaughter, who is in plays at school, so i will make her some.
I would like to try an Iris or Calla Lily with your technique..looks like fun!!
ReplyDeleteI was a late starter to the blog hop but am really excited to try your way of applique after watching your video. You make it look so quick and easy. I'd love to win a copy of your book so I can try it myself. Thank you so much for all the great words. I did go back and collect all of those. They will be fun to use.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful tour of blogs that reviewed your need book...I would love to be able to take one or any or all of my granddaughters drawings and make it into an appliqued work of art....different than she has made, but for her as she gives to me so much....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun two weeks it has been! I so enjoy seeing your multitude of works and meeting your friends. I dream of making the perfect "Purple Mountain Majesty" art quilt ~ ~ You and your books are wonderful inspiration for everything I make. I can't wait to see your book.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had known of your method before starting my current project... :( Oh well, will try it on my next project!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rose! So exciting to see your new book out. Honestly, I'm not sure what I would like to do with fast piece applique! My mind is full right now, figuring out the commissioned quilt I need to start (with t-shirts) and as the just-past-president of TLC Quilters, getting going on the new President's quilt (she wants an old fashioned 2" squares sort of postage stamp quilt). Once I'm done with those though, I know we'll be having a new challenge at guild that I could use it on! OXO
ReplyDeleteGreat hop and can't wait to try your method. Want to make a wallhanging or pillow using "xoxo".
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.

I would love to try this method with an eagle applique pattern I have. Thanks for sharing your technique.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make a personalized pillowcase for my granddaughter using your method
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a quilt of our Illinois farm landscape. Fast applique sounds like a great way to do it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your techniques and love flowers, so I think your new book would be just up my alley. If you ever come to the northwest, would love to take workshop form you. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm teaching on Vashon Feb 7th
DeleteThank you all for your amazing comments and ideas, I'll be drawing this week for a winner, but first I need to get home!
