With each cq piece a little bit of who I am is put into threadwork, the picking of fabrics and trims, and of course creating beauty with threads. Please enter me into your drawing, this would be a great book to have.

Wat I the most like in CQ is the liberty to create without rules, some times difficult , because rule are helpful , but i think I am " growing" with each CQ block.

If I don't like a technique all I have to do is finish the seam or motif and go on to the next seam with something different. But it's not like I have another unfinished class sample to feel guilty about. I've at least got one more finished seam!Kim in Fargo, NDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916416149696715702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-53913027508969217382008-11-13T05:01:00.000-08:002008-11-13T05:01:00.000-08:00I love her books, too but I haven't that one so pu...I love her books, too but I haven't that one so put my name in the hat!Simonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16451944767591107762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-29147118048210917952008-11-12T21:45:00.000-08:002008-11-12T21:45:00.000-08:00HI Kerrythe thing I like about cq is that it is a ...HI Kerry<BR/>the thing I like about cq is that it is a learning experence every time I pull out the bits and pieces of fabric and try to make everything go together,and then try to figure out what to do with the seams (with what I know )I am trying to learn sre by watching and looking at everything thats out their in our groups some times its good sometimes (not so good) but I keep trying.Please put in in for the book And Thank You Dee in IdahoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-86692467307488973532008-11-12T16:26:00.000-08:002008-11-12T16:26:00.000-08:00Hello Kerry,My favorite part is doing Motifs using...Hello Kerry,<BR/>My favorite part is doing Motifs using threads and SRE.

Its the joy of letting go of cares and aches and losing myself to create. The joy of learning a new technique as I can use almost all lessons taught in our embroidery group.<BR/>But best of all....its the sharing with friends together in this craft.<BR/>Hugs Pampamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837964128425567527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-78776387501532702292008-11-12T11:46:00.000-08:002008-11-12T11:46:00.000-08:00Hi, Kerry!

Well, I haven't started it yet, but I love the individuality of it, the melange of so many different types of textile arts and needlecrafts and so many lovely blocks I've seen around the blogs.

Or the feeling you get when you try something new and add a new technique or idea to your quilts. I can not imagine NOT crazy quilting. <BR/><BR/>I truly believe that anyone can do crazy quilting, because all you need is some time and imagination, each block is unique and special and you get such immense satisfaction with each seam, motif,and embellishment. <BR/><BR/>I too do not have the book you have for this contest and any cq'ing or SRE book is a dream to have! So thank you for the contest:)<BR/><BR/>p.s.

But I think the best thing is the control factor. When every other thing in your life is out of your control, your CQ still is in your hands. YOU choose what fabrics to use, how to put them together, how to embellish them, and when to declare IT'S DONE! And then you have no one to thank (or blame!) but yourself.<BR/>Janet in Coloradogocrazywithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063066209331964997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-28967327616934892442008-11-12T06:03:00.000-08:002008-11-12T06:03:00.000-08:00WOW Kerry, as yet I only borrow her books from the...WOW Kerry, as yet I only borrow her books from the Library, but one day will own whichever. <BR/><BR/>As to what I love about CQing, well I guess the most important point is that it's YOUR CREATION, sure you get ideas from other sources, but you can build upon the stitched foundation in various ways that sometimes you have to look closely to see. The girls in this group have been my inspiration to experiment instead of following stitch by stitch from the books.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this offer my dear and good luck to whomever receives it.Rose Anne Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073602639054819506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223393909446478851.post-20791339936345765352008-11-12T05:58:00.000-08:002008-11-12T05:58:00.000-08:00Kerry, naturally I enjoy the "final" block, but my...Kerry, naturally I enjoy the "final" block, but my favorite thing is "getting there".
