Review and Giveaway: Whip Up Mini Quilts

OK so I am new at the blogging thing.  But I am full of ideas to share and try.  So if you all will buckle up and get ready for the ride, maybe there will be some food for thought.

So my first thought is to write some more about TIM GUNN.  And I will, when I get to my pics! 

Today though I am obsessed with this book and this give away. 

For those that know me, I love my class room and I love my job.  It is such a great place and I love spending time making this my home away from home, my dream studio and my exquisite stitchy teaching place.  All year I have been trying to make my signage more "stitchy" (love that word) for my students.  I want them to know that this is a place for creativity and work and laughter.  I want this to be an inspiring place created by past students to inspire current and future students.  (I have even tried to get the artists in my life to create stitchy themed paintings - but that is another story for another time...)

So I have been rolling around making some Art Quilts to help teach the Design Elements and Principals.  I have been reading up on the subject since Jan and I have been simply doodling and stitching.  But since reading Crafy Pod's Sister Diane, I hope she hears my plea and graces me with a copy of this book:

Hopefully she will hear my un-muted plea for the plight of the cash poor teacher (I should be ashamed of myself for being so brash).  I know this book would inspire and enable me to save the world with crafting.

So as soon as I figure out how to post a link directly to her, so you folks can check out her crafty shenanigans, I will.

Ummm Peter, if your reading this, do you want to eat din din with me tonight?  I will come your way if you want and ummm how do I set up a link to the Crafty Pod?

Thanks for reading my tom foolery.

Love, Peace & Chicken Grease Yaw'll!
