  1. OMG! I would love to have this book. You have taught us so much about the quilting world over the years and we have paid it forward to the public. With this book, we could continue the process to teach our world wide customer base, the important role the the fine craft of quilting means to our culture.

    I beg you for the book, I am crawling up the steps to our new gallery to find a place to show it off. Surely Round Top has a home for it! Congrats for being the chosen one!!! All the best!

  2. I want it. You know I want it. You are getting sleepy, your eyes are drooping. Pick me because I want it and you want to give it to me. Look deeply into my eyes. You feel I need this book and so you choose me. You are right, I need this book.
    Snap.
    Now don't you feel refreshed and relaxed? I know I do. I can practically turn the page on the soon-to-be my copy of the Masters Art Quilts.

  11. I would love to enjoy this lovely book. It will please my eyes and make my heart beat faster. When my heart beats faster with excitement then I will give off serotonin and phenylalanine. Then the aliens won't abduct me, because they want to study humans with a lack of serotonin and phenylalanine. I don't want to be abducted by aliens. It wasn't fun the last time.

  21. Linda, it is a wonderful giveaway, I was hook by desire to see this book after reading your interview! There some problems with giveaways - 1) I never win! 2) English is not my native langauge, so I am not able to explaine all my feeling as I can do it in Russian :))) 3) do you mail outside USA?
    Anyway, thank you for the review and for the chance to participate!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I don't know why I'm even doing this --- I never win anything. I'm sure it's because of my miserable childhood! Poor, poor me!

    Pathetic enough?

    Seriously, I'd love to be able to add this gorgeous book to my library.

    Thanks for the opportunity.

    ReplyDelete

  33. Thanks Linda for the chance to receive the Masters II book. The comments above mine were LOL. Great idea. Winning this book would be awesome. I want to send it to an art historian I just met that has never been exposed to art quilts. She wants to do an article for some of the publications where she regularly writes.

  34. Hi Linda,
    I am trying again today. It looks like it is working. I would love to have that book. Now, if I can get my word correct, I'm done. Thanks again.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The first book was fabulous. I am sure that this book is terrific, too. Congratulations to all of the artists profiled in this book.

  36. Like I told Terry Grant, there's nothing like Superior Hand Held Eye Candy! Count me in and if I should win BOTH, I'll donate one to my local library.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I don't come out of 'Lurkdom" for just anything. I would love to win the book. I would also like to say how much I enjoy reading your blog. Thank you and now back to my lurking lair.

    ReplyDelete
  38. oh please let me win!! heheh. I read about the new book at Lark's blog yesterday and immediately went to my library to check out the first book. It blew me away.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I WOULD LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE TO WIN THIS BOOK! :-) Kinda 'nuff said, right? Thanks for the chance to win. Yum!

  40. It will really be very nice to win this fabulous book!!! I love so much the first one!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm a bookaholic and need a fix.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Ok..honestly, I'm a beginner. I have recently transitioned from oil on canvas to fiber art. I would like to learn more. I want to see the best so here I am looking at books and researching styles and techniques. I am going to make a go at full time art making and I'm looking for an anchor. That would be knowledge and experience, books and hours and hours of studio work. Any chance I could win this thing?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh Linda, you know all the others were just kidding. I've already dusted off the bookshelf, thrown out all the paperbacks just to make room for this new beauty! Send it my way!
    Thanks so much.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this book. The first one was so inspirational and I could use a little boost in that department right now. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Linda, please add my name for consideration because the book looks wonderful, you have recommended it and, as a self-appointed master protector of all things quilt, art and fiber related, I simply do not have enough art quilt books to love and care for...or fabrics...or yarn...or art supplies...or sewing ephemera...or......

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love volume one.. I have been without Internet for a few days so I'm under the wire!! This is going to be another beautiful book for inspiration!!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Linda,
    I would LOVE to own a copy of this book. All I can say is that I wish every book I've owned was free, since...I'll look thru it...read it...feel it...sleep while looking at it non stop...then sits on my bookcase for years to come. This looks like exactly what I need to get inspired to make art quilts. Thank YOU in advance for selecting my name. Oh...BTW, no shipping costs involved, since you can hand it over at the next FASA meeting. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Great review! I am anxious to see Vol. II. I expect I will love it as much as the first one. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win a copy! Love your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  49. scintillating, exciting, amusing, intellectual - those may be beyond my range BUT pathetic, or downright begging - that I can do, although you have to imagine puppy dog eyes as I beg for this wonderful book.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Don't want to be pathetic sounding ...but I sure would love to read through this inspirational book...puhleeeezz!
