ReplyDeleteI love hand sewing and EPP fits that description. It is slower though, so I do a lot of machine sewing too.

ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway..this book looks amazing.
I am sort of forcing myself to do turned edge/hand applique as part of a class, but I am nervous about it. I would like to spend more time on foundation paper piecing too. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! I've been a follower on my Reader. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteNext year I am determined to start machine applique. I have many patterns and just need the TIME to experiment with my machine and practice, practice, practice! Thanks for the great giveaway. Would love to be the winner!!
ReplyDeleteI love machine piecing. However, in the coming year I want to try an appliqué quilt. I have done some little bits of appliqué, but an entire quilt will be a challenge for me.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanette!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful giveaway!
My all time favorite has to be needle turn applique! Then machine piecing. A tie at the bottom would be machine applique (because I can't get it perfect!) and quilting my quilt tops.
Take care, Leslie
Hi Jeanette! I have been a follower for a long time!

ReplyDeleteThis year, I would like to attempt hexies, but I WISH I could nail down a good stitch to finish up my bindings... I show WAY too much thread on mine when I got at a decent clip, and when I do well, it's too slow to be even remotely productive... Grr...
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy many new visitors to your site this week, and thanks!
I'm really new to sewing so I just want to learn to apply binding!

ReplyDeleteI'm so new to quilting that I don't think I could be said to have a favorite technique. I even had to look online to work out how to attach the walking foot to my machine. I'm pretty impressed by my first quilt though - especially the perfectly mitred corners on the binding!
ReplyDeleteI hope to get better at Free Motion Quilting
ReplyDeleteThis year I would like to go further with applique, with more involved designs.
ReplyDeleteI am a happy regular follower of your blog!

I'm all set up to learn how to free motion quilt this next year. kcarlson1152[at]hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'd like to do more paper piecing this coming year.
ReplyDeleteThis year I want to work on FMQ. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting more serious about quilting and there's a lot I don't know, being largely self-taught. I'd love to put this book on my shelf! I want to make an Oh Fransson billboard quilt this year.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn much more about quilting. I've been studying about it for the past couple years with me being much more serious in the past year. I finally found a place to take a beginning Quilt Piecing class a few months ago which I did complete but it was not a 'complete' class as it did not teach alot of what I had hoped, including what I feel is the most important - binding and finishing your quilt. We did a table runner and other than learning to do three blocks, we learned nothing more so I feel that class fell way short of my expectations. I have alot more to learn BUT, this next year I want to learn paper piecing and go from there trying many more techniques which I will continue learning from the awesome bloggers that are doing such great work sharing their knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThis book really looks great. I'd love to win this to help me with even more ideas.
Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
I am a new follower now although I would LOVE to see the ability to also subscribe via email to your blog. That is the easiest way for me and I know I've seen others on other blogs saying the same thing.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for the awesome book giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI am going to learn needle turn applique next year. I have a wonderful pattern that I want to make. I'm just waiting for the crazy holidays to get past. Thanks.

I would love to learn to do FMQ and am hoping I can do it reasonably well!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I'd love to learn to machine quilt in the new year ... on my brand new sewing machine. I like a good challenge and I love making baby quilts. But I've always done them by hand and would like to up the production :) b.moews@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI really want to try some paper piecing. I don't have a lot of quilting experience (yet).
ReplyDeletePaper piecing is what I hope to learn next. I'm a quilting newbie, so I'm trying to get down all the basic techniques right now.
ReplyDeletebinkiege(at)gmail(dot)com

I'm working on FMQing. I hope to make my pattens really look like something, work on spacing and stitch length. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try more applique, maybe Hawaiian style.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try some improv piecing. I spend lots of time planning and really enjoy it but people say that just sitting down and sewing with no plan is very liberating. I guess I will either love it or hate it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am a happy new follower. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try free motion quilting but I am terrified that I will ruin my quilt top. Thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI am a new follower of your blog. Thanks for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would like to get better at the end of both spectrums...handwork (such as hexagons) and free motion quilting. Trying to get a handle on time management with a 4 yr old. Hopefully I can be productive whether at the machine or on the go with handwork :)
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. Thank you for participating in the blog hop!

I've only done one quilt, but hope to make a couple more this year. Just getting the darn things square would be great! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new quilter, so I'm so excited for a chance at a book about quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love to chain-piece and use leaders/enders to make two quilts at once (I think that would be considered a technique, right?). What a great giveaway prize - thanks so much for the chance to win!
