There is also a description of my construction process towards the end of the book - but the Publishing company wanted me to keep it very short as they felt there were a lot of construction books out there. so glad you enjoyed it!Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-36602805217974917022013-08-22T13:00:46.153-07:002013-08-22T13:00:46.153-07:00Dear Elizabeth,

I could not imagine that such a wonderful quilter lives there.<br />thank you for your wonderful book.<br />yochiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184358416193311417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-22682812922870718292013-07-22T11:41:53.164-07:002013-07-22T11:41:53.164-07:00Hi Nancy - the Dyeing to Design class is closed, b...Hi Nancy - the Dyeing to Design class is closed, but I will be offering it in the Fall on Academy of Quilting - there will be a link from quiltuniversity.com, Ruth Blanchet is taking over that domain name.Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-74941327740595906582013-07-21T17:48:17.886-07:002013-07-21T17:48:17.886-07:00Will you be still holding the Dying to Design clas...Will you be still holding the Dying to Design class? I took your Inspired to Design (great class!) but had too many things to cover in a short amount of time - needed more time to digest - as I am still working out the background. I do want to take the Dying to Design class but not ready yet! Too bad I went back to see progress the day after the class closed - couldn't see more pics or postings from the class.<br />I love, love, love the Blue Ridge Mtns!

I'm simply curious about the definition, and the catch-all term of quilt and art quilt.<br />I hope that you enjoy your art classes.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-78166803315613174552013-07-09T19:26:54.223-07:002013-07-09T19:26:54.223-07:00Sorry Olga!

Research is one of the most rewarding activities apart from creating.<br /><br />I am interested in your definition of all quilts as being the arrangement of pieces of fabric. As a maker of whole cloth work, I have often wondered if most folks in the quilt world believed that my pieces were not really quilts. I am genuinely curious to know if that is what you believe also.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.com
