You may know of Jackie through Canton Village Quilt Works or through Quiltworx as a Judy Niemeyer certified instructor - she's a really busy gal! I had the pleasure of meeting her at Fall Quilt Market and quickly found we are two peas in a pod when it comes to our love of color and bright, bold fabric. I was thrilled she shared a copy with me :)

One thing that I really wanted to try was Jackie's technique for curved piecing, something I really haven't done a lot of. A little scary - but not when Jackie shows you how easy it is. She has this great youtube video to show you how.
Let's celebrate that successful curved piecing with a giveaway, shall we? Just share a comment below about Splash of Color, curved piecing, or anything colorful to be entered to win your very own signed copy of Splash of Color. I'll draw a winner on March 5th.
And if that weren't enough, you can hop over to Jackie's blog where she's reviewing my own Stash Lab: Simple Solutions for Scrap Quilts this week for a chance to win a signed copy of that one as well!
So two thumbs up! Thanks Jackie for a great addition to my bookshelf and my sewing room.
Happy Splash Quilting,
Tonya

I used to be afraid of curved piecing until I purchased my curvemaster piecing foot. I don't know how anyone else does it, but for me that is the secret to piecing curves (without actually knowing much about sewing anything other than a straight line).

ReplyDeleteI love curved quilts and I love the striking black and color but please how do you see well enough to sew against black? What brand of black do you like best?

ReplyDeleteI love the bright accents in Splash of Color.
ReplyDeleteI love bright colors but I've never paired them with the blacks and whites that set them off so beautifully in the pictures from this book. This would be a great place to start a new way of looking at color!
