I like to learn new things to keep from getting bored! this looks very interesting :)
Please enter me in this drawing….I'm looking for my "technique" and I think this is it! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
I'm getting restless. The kids are back in school and my daughter is getting ready to go to college. I want to do something different. Thanks for letting me enter the giveaway!
That is amazing!
This looks like something interesting to try. :)
Very cool. Hope I win!
I have a tendency to "jump" right in to a new technique, without thinking if its more advanced for me or not. Some of the more basic or traditional techniques I haven't tried, because they intimidate me. Do I have it backwards? The weaving and quilting technique definitely has my curiosity piqued.
This technique looks soooo cool! I tend to try everything that catches my eye!
I liked this book so much when I saw it that I have purchased it already. If I win I will add it to my guild's library. Thanks!
Some techniques i jump right in and attempt (and sometimes I even bother to actually READ directions). It also depends on if I'm in the mood for a new gadget and the new technique NEEDS said gadget that I simply can't live without. I'm consistently drawn to beautifully illustrated quilt books though – lots of pretty pictures to see techniques or colorways. Then I'm inspired to go off in my own direction =)
I saw this book last week because the picture on the front caught my eye. Then I read the description of the technique and thought it sounded interesting. So, I ORDERED IT! Should be here soon….
I've looked through this book. Love the technique and the quilts are awesome.
I just can't get enough of learning all I can on any and all quilting techniques!
I love trying new techniques. It never ceases to amaze me the wonderful ideas us quilters come up with. I’d love to win Anna’s book, it looks amazing.
Cheers,

I have this book…so I won’t be in on the giveaway…just wanted to comment that the book is fabulous…I haven’t tried anything yet, but will as soon as I get a chance. I love to experiment but usually do something one time only.
I’ve been wanting to try this book for a while now. I’d love to win this book. I love learning new techniques. I end up getting bored if I don’t mix things up a bit!
Ooooo…. this one interests me….
Pick me, pick me…….
sure would be nice to win. I have heard about this book,
but not seen it.
oy, im so stuck in old ways…i am a card carrying member of the ‘can’t teach old dog new tricks’ club…BUT, this book might just break of of thatt! Looks stunning.
please add my name to the hat, would love this book!

This looks like so much fun! What a gorgeous technique!
I love trying new techniques. My book shelf is full of technique books but I don’t have this one. Please enter me in your draw. Thanks.
I’ve seen a quilt made form this technique and can’t wait to try it….
in between getting my samples made, class sheets made, and patterns printed!!! I love the optical feel to this style!

I saw an example of a woven table runner and was very intrigued – would love to dive into this one and learn all the details – It's a fascinating concept. Where do these ideas come from!
If there’s a class for a new technique I’m there. I love learning techniques and figuring out to use them for my new projects instead of following a pattern.
This book looks fantastic. And the fact that I love cats & quilts, you have me wanting to check it out SOON!

This looks interesting. Wonder if the book makes it easier than it looks to learn. hmmm…
You can always count on CT publications to keep us up to date on new techniques and styles! I flit from project to project so far, not becoming expert at any…maybe one day, the right one will come my way to totally engross me…it seems to do that for others….
I like learning new techniques, even if I haven’t mastered previous ones I’ve tried. Weaving is something I haven’t tried.
No seams, no corners or points to match? Wow, I’m in! Always game to try a new technique and the finished results are fantastic! Would love this book!
I love trying new techniques and learning new ways to express my creativity!!! That book would be an added treasure to my quilting library…
I love trying new techniques, but if I find one I really like I tend to stick with it for a while until I feel I have learned it inside and out…then I’m able to add it to my repertoire of tricks!
I love trying out new techniques, this is one I’ll have to try.
The book would really help me out.
One thing at a time for me, but I have lots of time to move onto the next thing :)
I love trying new techniques and continue to expand my knowledge.
Love new books and new things to try. Thank you for giving us a chance to win this great book.
I like to try lots of new and different techniques with the end result being that I never become an expert at anything but I sure have a lot of fun trying!
I love new techniques, which is probably why I’m not good at anything right now.
It never stops to amaze me how many different quilting styles and technique are out there! Would love to try this one as well. Thanks!
I have looked through this book and would LOVE to own it so I can try it. I love learning new techniques!
That looks like something I have to try. I love new techniques and the quilt looks pretty interesting too!
I’m always up for trying something new. You never know what might prove to be a great approach or technique that really works for you, and if you don’t try at least once you’ll never find out. Weaving a quilt sounds most intriguing!
I love learning new techniques. If I find one that I particularly enjoy the first time around, I will concentrate my efforts on it to learn all of the ins and outs of it. Then it’s on to the next technique.
I love the depth created by these quilts. Looks like fun.

This looks like a really interesting book. I’m always trying new techniques. My list of things I want to do keeps getting longer! So I’d really like to try this one.
I love learning new techniques – it probably would be good to stick to one for a while and learn it inside out also. So much to do and never enough time! Best of all I love READING books about techniques, lol.
I definitely want to see how they did that! I would love to learn all the “angles” on a technique I love. Thanks for the book review.
The most exciting thing about the internet is that new techniques and ideas are published immediately; well before it may turn up in the store. I love seeing what independent sewers and crafters are up to. It inspires me to learn more, do more and be more creative!
Wow! A technique I’ve not heard of! Sounds way cool!
This looks way cool. Combining weave, colors and threads. I just love how creative this can be. Add some printed fabric pictures of people , places and things you love with the right colors. Quiet silouhettes and checks! I can just see what my stash can do. The right book for new challenges. I hope I can see it or win one.
I am an Experimenter and I’m PROUD of it! Sometimes I get so wrapped in experimenting that it becomes a deeper exploration – but nothing matches the thrill of a new technique.
Interesting book, would like to try it. Thanks.
I love to try new techniques! Sometimes I will find one that I really like and plan several projects to explore it further – but I am usually distracted by something new before I get very far! I used to weave a bit and this sounds like something I would really enjoy!
I’m with the majority in the comments – I love to try new things. I just finished an interpretive quilt, and that really stretched my learning ability! I’d love to win the book.
I like books, new techniques and new things to try. Thank you for giving us a chance to win this great book. Josepa
I think the only way to expand your horizons is to read new publications and go to workshops. I’ve been quilting for many years and still find it exciting to learn some new technique. Thanks for the chance to win this book. Hazel
I am amazed at how many new techniques there are for quilting now.
So many creative people, it sure helps to motivate me.
Would love to win a book with new ways of quilting.
I am always up to trying new things and have already done just a little of weaving in a vest I made that came out really neat. I did it on the left front and it came out great. Would love to try some more. Would love to have the book. I am working on about 7 different quilts at this time, as I am trying to finish up a lot of ufo’s. Pick Me! Pick Me! Tee hee.
Lots of Love to who ever wins they will really enjoy the book I am sure. Luv Quiltin Queenie
