Give-a-way

It is time for a give-a-way for my new quilt book "Simply Triangles".  From this book you can create complex-looking designs for any size quilt by combining simple triangles.

Learn how to use color and value to make your quilts glow.

Try a variety of skill-building techniques from strip piecing to Y-seams. (quilt on bottom of front cover)
Create unique, dynamic designs within pieced triangles, then combine those triangles with other shapes to make sassy stars, ........


daisies,  ......

and pinwheels.

Add a hexagonal quilt to your repertoire--perfect for a wallhanging or tabletop centerpiece.  Whether your palette preference runs to vivid or more muted hues, you'll discover how your color schemes will add a hint of movement to your quilts.

So what do you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this book?
 Leave a comment on this post.  It starts today and the drawing will end March 16.

  4. Hi Barbara....dear, sweet, quilt teacher of mine. LOL!! I thought I'd join the crowd wishing for their name to be drawn and add my two cents worth of compliments! :) If this book is anything like your previous, I know it must be thorough and very good. Thanks for entering me. See you soon in class!

  6. Hello, I pre-ordered the book from Amazon, so I've already got it. We are working through your first book now on my blog (every Sat). Then I'll work through this book. I really am intrigued to work with overlays. I've never done that before. If you happen to draw my name,I would love to have a copy to give away during our HUGE May for ME celebration on my blog. Thanks.
