My friend & one of my favorite quilting collaborators, Teresa Silva of Quilting is My Bliss, has written a new book that's available now, Longarm Quilting Workbook.

I was so excited for Teresa to write her new book that I wrote the foreward for it!
This book features some excellent quilt photography that shows off how the quilting works with the fabric & the block designs to bring the finished quilt together. It is also spiral bound with a lay-flat design, which I love for quilt-related workbooks!
The book features an excellent quilt gallery. Teresa included a lot of my designs. She quilted all of them and they were pieced by either me, Teresa or Leslie Meltzer of 50 Sq Ft Studio.

So much eye candy! This book is on my must have list and can hardly wait to see Toes in the Sand up close and personal! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteLove all the quilts in this book! But I'd want to see the quilting on Sweet Tooth up close and personal so that when I make mine (I have all the fabric, just need to finish up some others first) I have an idea of how to quilt it.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks great!
Oh that gravity quilt - I would totally need to inspect that one!
ReplyDeleteGravity, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI want to get up close to Gravity to see how she did that amazing quilting.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the Sweet Tooth quilt up close. I love the dark background- but the light looks good too! Were they quilted the same way?
ReplyDeleteBoth of the Sweet Tooth quilts! I have the book, and my daughter gave me some gorgeous fabric that is all lined up and ready for me to make (of course, when I get some of these other things with deadlines done...). I LOVE Teresa's quilting, and I'd love to see up close how she worked with these. Toes in the Sand is on my list as well.

ReplyDeleteOhhhhh. I would love to see them all but having to choose one I would chose toes in the sand because I have been wanting to piece a similar quilt
ReplyDeleteI would love to see them all, but to choose one it would be Toes in the Sand! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would pick glimmer.
ReplyDeleteGamer but I like trail mix too...great looking quilts.. happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteToes in the Sand, but I would love to see all of them up close.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get up close and personal with Gravity. Although all the others are as beautiful. It's a hard decision! The quilts and the quilting are so wonderful!!! I really want to win this book!! My fingers are crossed. Thank you for the post and the opportunity to win. Keep on quilting!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the quilts are lovely, but if I had to chose just one, I'd really like to see the quilting details of the Glimmer quilt. There is so much detail to see in the negative space.
ReplyDeleteAlthough all of them are phenomenal and the quilting is showing up quite nicely in the photos, I would love to get a closer view of Toes in the Sand! Amazing job!
ReplyDeleteGravity, it is beautiful and I did get to see some of the quilting on the link you provided, Thanks!
ReplyDeletecork@pa.rr.com
I would love to see Toes in the Sand close up. There is so much background area where Teresa was able to do the custom quilting. I am sure that those areas are able to tell a story all their own. Teresa is able to work such magic with her quilting.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take a closer look at the quilting on Glimmer. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the gravity quilt up close.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are wonderful and the quilting Teresa did is fantastic. I really love her new book. So many ways to make a quilt pop

ReplyDeleteI would like to see Sweet Tooth up close. Have been thinking about a long arm, just not so sure I would enjoy it, I love piecing!! Thanks for all the great patterns, they are so fun.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a close-up of Glimmer.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the Sweet Tooth quilt, pieced by Leslie Meltzer up close to look at the quilting. One reason is you can't really see the quilting on the white background in the picture, and the other reason is I really like the Sweet Tooth pattern. Thank you for the opportunity to win. ljbisme at msn dot com
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...such beauty and inspiration all in one space! I would love to see Glimmer up close and personal and I'm adding your patterns to my MUST DO ONE list.

ReplyDeleteToes in the Sand. I have mine ready to quilt but need a bit of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny. I was just calculating how much it would cost a long arm quilter to quilt my Sweet Tooth quilt for me. Now, I'm having second thoughts. What a great way to build my quilting skills (if only I had Teresa's book and I could get a close up look at Sweet Tooth)!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see them all but to choose just one I would want to see Toes In The Sand. It appears to have lots going on. Such gorgeous custom quilting on your wonderful quilts!

ReplyDeleteToes! Toes! Toes!!!!!

ReplyDeleteOh, The Glimmer quilt is the one I need to see close up. I can tell there is so much going on the backround that I will be looking at for some time.

Thanks for making this work for all.

So, love Teresa's book, it is a must have if you're going to jump into the LA quilting world! For the lovely quilts shown on your blog post, I think I'd want to examine "Toes in the Sand" because of all the open space in the background. I'd like to see how Teresa quilted that close up!

ReplyDeleteToes in the sand is the one I would like to see upclose. Looks like a great quilt.

ReplyDeleteI would love to see your "Sweet Tooth" pieced and quilted by Teresa. I looks like she has used a different design in each one.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Toes in the Sand up closer. The others would be lovely to see but I can make out most of that quilting. Toes in Sand also looks has more variety of stitches.
