We have better machines now, better lights, everything, but we still are the pilots here, and have to move the quilt under the needle and make it all turn out. <br /><br />Ann's book addresses free motion, and maybe her take on it will give you another perspective. <br /><br />When new books come out, this is a chance to head to a local quilt shop and see them in person, leaf through, read a bit, look at the photos and projects and then decide.Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-43045868904299044672010-06-11T12:23:35.481-05:002010-06-11T12:23:35.481-05:00Diane, yours was the very first book I read when I...Diane, yours was the very first book I read when I decided I wanted to learn to machine quilt (4 years ago). I read it cover to cover. My friend gave it to me and told me I should learn from the best. My goal the first year was to not be embarrassed to give my quilts away. I have achieved that, and while I have still have a long way to go, I am enjoying the journey. Thanks for a great book. I will, however, check out this book :).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477948659411074859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-32017465265654940902010-06-10T10:51:45.474-05:002010-06-10T10:51:45.474-05:00You might really like Ann's first book, "...You might really like Ann's first book, "Coloring with Thread," as it goes into her hoop embroidery, thread painting, etc. It's great too.Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-64262176670651651602010-06-10T10:27:05.771-05:002010-06-10T10:27:05.771-05:00I have just received my copy and it will definitel...I have just received my copy and it will definitely be next to my sewing machine as I am just learning to thread paint and need inspiration from a professional.

I love the cat quilts in it, and Ann's sense of humor comes through nicely too, as well as her common sense, and easy approach.Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-54725794230721195112010-06-10T00:07:34.433-05:002010-06-10T00:07:34.433-05:00Thank you for sharing.

I bought it in ebook form and it is not the same as cuddling up with a real book, especially as sewing machine and computer are at opposite ends of the house.California Fiber artist and composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438651763194053429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-47365603280192412322010-06-09T10:10:39.255-05:002010-06-09T10:10:39.255-05:00Thanks for sharing.
