PLEASE NOTE, THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED. CONGRATULATIONS, CAROLE!
In the world of silly holidays, tomorrow, Thursday, March 26, 2015 is “Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.” Considering how many silly holidays there already are, I’m pretty sure just about anything you might dream up has already been placed on the calendar somewhere. (Today, the 25th, is both Pecan Day and Waffle Day if you were curious). I was flipping through the pile of books available to give away and found Celebrate the Day with Quilts by Shannon Gingrich Shirley from Schiffer Publishing, an art quilt challenge book which features quilts for many of the days of the year as well as helpful calendar pages listing a great number of those silly holidays to help you find something to celebrate with quilting on any day of the year. This week’s giveaway prize is built around that art quilting concept.
Celebrate the Day with Quilts is just the first book of this celebration of quilting prize which also includes Pictorial Art Quilt Guidebook by Leni Levensen Wiener from C&T Publishing, First-Time Machine Applique by Janet Pittman from Landauer Publishing, Color for Quilters by Lauri Linch-Zadel and the editors of Quilters Newsletter and Quiltmaker, a Clover Water Soluble Marker, a Clover Finger Presser, a Handy Helpers Extendable Magnifying Mirror, and Richard Hemming & Son Big Eye Quilting Needles in sizes 10 and 11.
Don’t want to wait to see if you win before starting a new art quilt — or just a quilt using some of those same techniques? Check out these bits of inspiration:
