[CLOSED] Win a copy of Imagine Quilts

Win a copy of Imagine Quilts - My sweet friend Dana has written this beautiful book called Imagine Quilts. I first met Dana when she gave away a quilt waaaay back in 2008. At that point I was amazed and inspired by her generosity, (I remember crying when I watched the video of some lucky person getting in). I think that Dana's act of outrageous giving ignited something in my own heart and showed me the possibility of sharing love in this way. By that stage I had been blogging for three years, and my life had taken a few unexpected turns (ah, Hello Annie-Rose) but the world was opening up with lots of crafty folks starting blogs. I've pretty much read every word Dana has written since then and I count her as a friend. She continues to inspire me. Dana is one of the cool kids and I was amazed and honoured when she asked me to review her shiny brand-new book. I've always liked the quilts that Dana makes so I was excited to read her book. As soon as I saw this quilt, I HAD to make it. I loved the simplicity of it. The instructions were clear and I easily made four of these pinwheels (one is now a cushion for Reuben). One of the things that I noticed about the quilts is that they have quite a lot of background space, and while it is beautifully quilted in the book, I wondered how they would look if you didn't have access to a long arm quilting machine. So I decided that before I reviewed the book, I would quilt as much of the quilt as possible by hand just to see how it looked and so that I could review the book with a clear conscience. Good timing, I had to watch the first season of the Newsroom for my Media Audiences paper, and so I spent a couple of happy afternoons hand quilting and watching the Newsroom! I'm happy to report that it is looking lovely, I still have a long way to go with the quilting, but that's fine, I know it is going to turn out beautiful. The book is filled with quilts that are beautiful in their simplicity, and their originality. I really love the whale. I think I have to make that sometime. It would look amazing in vintage sheets, just saying. It's a great book and I recommend it. Thanks Dana for entrusting me with a copy. Now luckily for you, I have a digital copy of the book to giveaway plus this delicious bundle of fabric also to giveaway. I can't believe i have to give it away, it's cruel to send me fabric and not let me keep it!!! It's called Playdate by David Walker and I wish I didn't have to part with it.
