"Catch A Falling Star" by Sharon Bishop..jpg)
Sharon looked at her hands and thread painted this piece....it was her FIRST piece....talk about amazing.
Yes it is an AUTOGRAPHED Copy!!!
This is just one page selected at random from Thread Work Unraveled. I have to give my little two cents about his book. I think Sarah did an excellent job of putting this book together. It is organized well with lots of information like:
- Thread
- Needles
- Your Sewing Machine
- Your Workspace & Ergonomics
- Understanding Good Foundations
- Marking Tools
- Applique
- Machine Quilting
I am a visual learner so the photos really compliment the written instructions. Sarah was kind enough to autograph this book while in Houston at the International Quilt Market 2009. I enjoyed meeting her and loved her generosity. The first copy she automatically wrote my name and then signed it....I told her it was to give away on my blog....she said I needed a copy and signed another one to give away. How kind is that? VERY :)

ReplyDeleteI've been busy today so am exhausted (basketizing today for a fundrasier next week), but I think I got my 2nd wind when I read your post and saw this delightful book, and the words "giveway". Please count me in. I'd love, love, love to get a copy of this book and gain more insights about quilting techniques.
ReplyDeleteI'll re-read this post, when I'm not so exhausted as I do want to hear how you managed to get an autographed copy. You lucky girl. And you are so generous to share this, as a giveaway. Oh my, my energy level is now feeling like I could run a mile.
