A few weeks ago; ok maybe a bit longer than that, well now it seems like ages ago… I stopped by IHAN (I Have a Notion) blog, -I have a link on the side bar-… and Kelly was previewing/talking about the NEW book by Susan Brubaker Knapp- POINT CLICK QUILT. A book I would
really like to own and everyone stopping by had a chance to win a copy by leaving a comment. So I left a comment and was very surprised to learn that I had won!!!
Then the book finally arrived (remember that the mail takes an additional 2 weeks, (sometimes longer) to get here…. but then I had obligations, cut my hand, and the Internet went out… so I have been remiss in my thanks and post about it.
I love what Susan does with a photograph!!! and I want to do something like what she does with my photographs…. I have been toying with some ideas…. and I need to make it a reality…. but I have a couple of problems:
1- is picking a picture!!!! How do I select one…. do I do a flower, a bug or an animal, one or both of the dogs? …. I just can’t decide!
2- is painting. I DON’T paint, not walls, not doors and not fabric. It just eludes me, the same way drawing does. So I will have to find another way to add some dimension…. maybe fabric… or more thread…
Anyway…. THANK YOU to Kelly Jackson of IHAN and to Susan Brubaker-Knapp for the book.
Lucky you! A very cool book and such a great use of photographs. Of course, you know that you can add an awful lot of detail with threads. But don't forget coloured pencils and pens. The Pitt pens are nice!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! Glad you won this. I have been following along on your posts, but somehow, my comments have not shown up. I really do comment...and I have no idea why they aren't appearing. Maybe this time! Your photos would be fabulous quilts. I vote for a flower or bug. Hope your hand is close to being 100%.
