I would like to sign on as a follower of your blog. I have been enjoying your newsletter since you were here to Kenora to teach…always inspiring. I have purchased several of your recommended books and am enjoying them too. I recently lucked into Quilted Planet for $2.63 + shipping! I also found 2 great books on embroidery at the Strand Bookstore in NYC a couple years ago. Not sure if your collection includes them. One is a stitch reference (The Stitches of Creative Embroidery by Jacqueline Enthoven) and the other features many different artists, with bio and background info as well as some of their work (Celebrating the Stitch by Barbara Lee Smith). I haven’t done a lot of embellishment…yet. But your work inspires me to take the leap.

Hi Linda, to sign on as a follower to my blog click on “About” at the top of the page and you will get to my home page. The button to “follow”is on the right hand side about half way down the page. Click on that and it will take you through a couple of steps.
Thanks for the update on your book purchases. Regular book reviews will be part of the blog! Watch for them! “The Quilted Planet” for $ 2.63 is a true treasure! I have never found that book for less than $ 15. Congratulations! The other books are familiar to me and are great resources for embellishing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Shirley! We should plan on another visit where we do Artlets. The garden spiral is pretty much complete. It was so great when we made the start together that July in 2010!

Anna, as one who does not love change, I sadly say goodby to your newsletters. The blow is made easier because I am already receiving your blog posts in my email – lovely!
And I add my thanks for telling us about the upcoming virtual quilt show. Looking forward to your interview.

Hi, Anna,
Your dawn photos were great. Our windows face north and south here in Silver Springs, Calgary. I love watching sunrises and sunsets and have told my husband if we ever move, I want a house that lets me see them without peering from the edges of the window!

Hello Pat,
I met someone a little while ago who lived in Calgary for 10 years and returned to Saskatchewan because she missed the sunsets. when I am honest I must agree with her! Both sunsets and sunrises are spectacular here. As I am typing this the sun slowly inches her way over the hills across the lake. the sky is turning pale blue and orange – stunning!!!

Hi Anna,
Thanks for sharing your two essential art books. I’m going to try and find Art & Fear for my daughter; I think it might encourage her.

Hi Judy,
That is a great idea! If your daughter has an ereader she can download it without leaving the house. Here is the link I used http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Art-Fear-Observations-Perils-Rewards/book-8KiDG2nj10yaGvU5S_OBqA/page1.html
The book was $ 6.99 (less than half the price of the hard copy)!
