15 Minutes of Play blog tour

Today is my stop on the blog tour for Victora Findlay Wolfe's book, 15 Minutes of Play. IMG_0253

I've known Victoria for a while now and her unique voice with her quilts has always impressed me. Her book reflects that voice so clearly and well! I'm a really lover of improv. piecing, but I've moved away from it in my design and this book reminds me to keep it in my repertoire! For just 15 minutes a day...

Victoria's idea of just playing with fabric for 15 minutes a day is a great one. It keeps those creative juices flowing, even when you're very busy or feeling a lack of inspiration. I should take her advice more to heart! I work with fabric all the time, but sometimes I need to think of it in a more playful way. Victoria's book focuses on that process and the inspiration it can lead to. Such a great approach!

In world full of pattern books, this one helps you find your way and voice with play and who wouldn't want that?? BTW - my favorite color to "play" with is blue. I'm always turning to my blue stash!

Now who wants to win a copy? If it's a US winner they will receive a hard copy of the book, and an international winner will receive an electronic copy of the book, direct from C&T. Just leave a comment here on this post and I'll pick a random winner on Dec. 12th.

Be sure to check out the rest of the tour!
