Masters Art Quilts vol.2 Give Away



When I was asked to write a preview of Master Art Quilts vol 2 and participate in a blog hop I decided that I wouldn't look at any of the blogs scheduled ahead of me. I didn't want to be influenced by what others thought.

While I stuck to that I've decided not to write a preview but to feature a few of the artist that really caught my attention. I'm sure that if you've been following the hop you've already been told what eye candy awaits you in this book.

I'll warn you ahead of time, since my interest lies in people and portraits my choices have been with that in mind.

    Eye candy is a good kind of candy-no calories! Love to have a continuous batch of this kind of candy.

    I'm always intriqued with how people design their art quilts and have a copy of volume one. If I was fortunate to win volume two that would be great.

    I look forward to seeing the other people who catch your eye.

    You can reply to me via this post.

    Thanks for the chance!

    I love that you showed some of the quilts from the book. It is nice to see some of the eye candy inside! I'm still new to art quilts so I know this book would give me a great start in discovering more about them and some of the artists.
