Sewing Shoes? Haha!

Some quilters want to look really good when they sew! Read yesterday's post (and Victoria's comment) to understand this photo. And leave a comment to enter the book GIVEAWAY!

GIVEAWAY: 15 Minutes Play! Join the Blog Hop

"Makin' Me Crazy" (above) by Victoria Findlay Wolfe.

Do you love improvisational quilts? Liberated quilts? Maverick quilts? String quilts?

Whatever you call them, aren't they the best? They're my favorites!

 Now there's a book full of inspiration for improvisational quilt lovers!

The very best book on improv quilts is: 15 Minutes of Play by my friend Victoria Findlay Wolfe.  

 If you want to be inspired, you owe it to yourself to get a copy of her book. 

Scraps never looked so good! This is improvisational piecing reinvented - learn how to create your own creatively-collaged swatches of fabric in just 15 minutes a day. As you play, you'll sharpen your design skills and learn more about combining colors and prints in new ways. Discover just how distinctive classic blocks like Sawtooth Star or Flying Geese can be, when they're constructed with more spunk and spontaneity! 

You can win one right here by leaving a comment on this post. (US winners receive a hard copy of the book. International winners receive a Electronic copy of the book, direct from C&T.)

Winner announced on Dec. 12!

QUESTIONS: Does Victoria sew with her shoes on? Does she listen to music or does she prefer quiet? I've posed these questions to Victoria and her answers will appear among the comments today.

Tell us your answers too. (Winner will be picked at random.)

For more chances to win, visit the blog hop locations every day and enter there too!

 I made this red and white version (below) a few years ago and I love it. There are 4 of my quilts in Victoria's book (this red and white quilt is not in the book). I'm so thrilled to be part of this project.

This book is going to be a classic.

Victoria Findlay Wolfe's New Book!

I can't wait to see this new book! The release date is November 2012, from C&T.

 If you can't wait that long either, visit 15 Minutes Play to see what she's up to now.

Victoria's quilts are stunning! She makes fabric by piecing scraps "willy-nilly" into collages, then using the new creation to make blocks. This book will be full of inspiration. 

I made some quilts for this book too. I'm looking forward to seeing all the others. 

We'll have a giveaway of some copies here in November.
