Sew Mama Sew Giveaway (Week?) - a giveaway and a book review of sorts

I am a couple of days late to this party, but since Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day is really a whole week, I thought I would join in late, rather than never.

Today, I am giving away a new copy of one of my favorite books, Free-Motion Quilting with Angela Walters.

one of my favorite quilting books


I reference this book almost every time I sit down to quilt something.  For example, recently, when I quilted my version of Jess's Giant Chevron pattern.  I chose a different design for each color of my chevron from the book to practice.

Giant Chevron closer up


There is the Seafoam design (one of my favorites):

Wood Grain with Knots:

A modified version of Angela's "Plume Feather":

Geometric Allover:

Could I have picked a fuzzier section of this quilt to photograph?  Sorry!

I also recently used her Flower Power design on my commission quilt:

Commission quilt back

And there are still loads more designs that I haven't tried out yet.   This book is an excellent resource, whether you quilt on your domestic machine (like me) or on a long arm. I especially love how Angela walks you through drawing each design, step by step.

If you don't have this book, now is your chance to win it!  Or, you could always gift it to a friend in need.  It is the season of giving after all.

To enter, please leave me a comment telling me what your favorite quilting design is.  My followers get a 2nd entry, please leave me an additional comment telling me how you follow (Google Friend Connect, Bloglovin, Feedly, etc.); I am curious how you follow me.  MAKE SURE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS CONNECTED TO YOUR COMMENT, please.  I still get a lot of no-reply comments, and if I can't contact you, I will have to draw again.

This giveaway will be open until December 13th at 5 pm PST.  THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!  I will randomly choose a winner and notify them by email by December 15th.  International entries are welcome.

Now go enter some more of the giveaway at Sew Mama Sew.  There are some really fantastic bloggers giving away fantastic prizes.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Jen

I did heart-shaped leaves+vines as my very first fmqing and loved it. Leaves seem easy for me to do. Thanks for you blog+books+this giveaway too!

    I'd love, love, love this book. I recently bought a better machine so that I could start machine quilting. So far I've only done straight line quilting with it so I'm keen to develop my skills. In the past I've always hand quilted making up motifs that complimented something in the fabric I was using: butterflies, leaves, flowers etc. I guess my favorite were butterflies.

    My favourite easy design is just loop de loops, largely because that's the only thing I've managed to do very well :D It looks nice enough, but doesn't exactly feel "right" for most types of projects, though.
