So guess who came to speak to the guild members this past Monday? The designer of this pattern, Kristen Steiner. She spoke about using life as your inspiration for making quilts. A fabric journal of sorts. She shared all her lovely quilts with us too. A lot of you have seen this quilt on my blog before and have asked if there was a pattern. I can say now that Yes, there is a pattern. The book is now being published again and you can go to www.kristinsteiner.com to buy your copy. The next group of pictures are quilts that Kristen has designed and you can find patterns for these on her web site too. 
I own this book that Kristin wrote along with Diane. The quilt in the above picture is the pattern that you can make from this book. There are also ten projects in the book that you can make too. I am going to give this book away on Monday morning to one lucky regular commenter. So if you would like to have a chance to win this book just leave a comment saying, "I would like the book." So check back on Monday to see who won.
I am also going to give this magazine away to the first person that leaves a comment saying that you want this magazine. Usually I tear out some patterns to save and put the rest in recycling but since I didn't tear anything out someone else can enjoy reading it. (ps My Canadian friend Dorothy has won the magazine.)
Don't forget to check the buttons on my sidebar for the BOM. A lot of them are available now.And check out the Rabbit Factory for the June block.
With Passion, Carrie P.
May the sun shine upon you. May love surround you. May the light within you guide you always.
I want the book. Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI would love to receive the book. Kristen's quilts are beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! Thanks so much for sharing. I have the Quilt magazine and I'm going to pass on the book. Although gorgeous, I'll let someone who loves to applique have a better chance. I love the quilt second from the bottom with the flower pots in the 4 corners.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Quilts Carrie. I haven't got my copy of the Quilt Sampler yet, so if it's still available I would love it.

It never ceases to amaze me how the look of a quilt can change just by using different fabrics. The quilts that the members of your guild made are wonderful, Carrie. I'm going to check out more of her patterns.

ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous quilts...you have a terrific group!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love to win that book. You are very generous to share it. Thanks for all the great photos. I enjoy seeing what different quilters can do with the same pattern. They are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm a regular reader, but not a regular commenter (sorry :-( ), so I won't be entered into this, but I appreciate you letting us know about the book - her patterns are wonderful. thanks
ReplyDeleteSigh... this is what I get for getting so behind in blog reading! What a wonderful giveaway-- that book looks like it would be fabulous! I'm definitely going to have to check out her site. Congratulations to the lucky winners. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for sharing the Southern Album quilts. It never ceases to amaze me how the personality of a design changes with the fabrics. Those are some beautiful examples.
I took my first applique class from Kristi about 10 years ago at a Quilters of SC retreat. What a sweet wonderful person she is. I have the book and also the first book that she and Diane wrote together. Her altered books class is great, too. I took that class last August and (hanging my head here in shame) have not finished the project.
