    I would love to learn to fmq! I'm new to quilting and have always admired quilters who fmq their own quilts. I'm trying to get over the fear of messing up... but I know that everyone started at the beginning too. This book will hopefully give me that jump start in the right direction. Thanks for a chance to win! I enjoyed the blog hop and seeing all your beautiful work. :)

  21. RebeccaOctober 19, 2012 at 12:26 PM

    I think I mostly hope the book would help me get over my fear and just jump in and get started. Time to do something besides just crosshatch quilting.

  22. Pam -October 19, 2012 at 12:30 PM

    Natalia, I'd hope to gain more confidence AND learn more about manipulating the quilt while free-motion quilting. I guess practice, practice and more practice makes sense; if I could get close to the perfection in your quilts, I'd be very happy!

    Hello. Your book looks marvelous and very informative, and I am eager to see it. One thing I hope to learn is how to hold and move the quilt as you are quilting it - I've tried many things (gloves, Super Slider, bike clips), and still don't get it. Congratulations on being published!

    I learned that practice with pencil and paper over and over helps with FMQ.

    Your book looks like exactly what I'm looking for! I've tended to play it simple and safe with my quilting, but I think your book may give me the confidence to try some new things. Being a visual learner, I think the book will be a great help!

    Hi Natalie,

    Congratulations on your new book, it looks divine! Mmmm, yes I am sure that your book will have lots of inspiration for a person that is new to quilting, from the gorgeous fabrics you choose to the inspiration for quilting the quilt top. I checked it out on Amazon and I am sure it is the perfect quilting bible to place on my book shelf. I am an experienced cross stitcher and would love to add more quilting to my crafting!

    Good luck with your book, you must be so proud!

    Hi Natalia! WOW, what a great group of friends you have on here and in the quilting world! :)

    I am hoping to learn how to FMQ. :) Yes, sounds, cheesy, but I only stitch in the ditch, so I've gotta start somewhere, and this books is where I shall start! Thanks, friend!

  47. Nancy PageOctober 20, 2012 at 5:04 PM

    What I would like to learn is how to do FMQ in a relaxed and fearless manner. I just fret because I can't do it perfectly.

    Have a super great sewing, stitching, and quilting day.
