I bought this DVD set last month and finally this week was able to watch it from start to finish. I need to watch it again! I learned a lot, saw A LOT of great antique quilts and enjoyed hearing many peoples opinions on antique quilts. From dealers to historians it was interesting. 250 minutes of talking about quilts, what could be better? This series will be on PBS so check your local stations. Or you can buy it here, Why Quilts Matter.
I ordered this book from blurb a few months ago. I was hoping to start making a New York Beauty quilt , at least a block before I posted about this book. its on the list for 2012. I have been following Bill Volckenings Blog for a long time and when he said he was writing a book and sharing pictures of his collection of NYB quilts I was thrilled.
Its a book worth having in your collection in mho. You can preview the book, Beauty Secrets, here and purchase it as well...check it out.
Nifty quilt blog did a great review of the quilt exhibit of Bill's NYB quilts on her blog...just look at those quilts!
Thanks to all of you who entered my little giveaway and for all the nice comments about my quilt. I truly appreciate it.
the winner of the Sew Scrappy Magazine (book in mho!) is Kaaren from The Painted Quilt blog. just send me an email with your mailing address and I will drop it in the mail to you next week

Lucky Karen! Thanks for the chance Kathie...:) Carolyn
Me? I won? Yippee, woo hoo and hooray! I'm thrilled.
Thanks, Kathie. I'm now going to email you with my mailing address. Yay!
Congrats to Kaaren.
I'll keep my eyes open for this program on PBS. Looks intriguing.
New York Beauty quilts leave me in awe!
Not only are you quite the cover girl, Kathiw, I just realized another quilt I had been eyeing from inside a mag was also your design. You rock!!
WooHoo - congrats to Kaaren!
I went and bought this magazine at Lone Star House of Quilts...so many fun projects! I love your cover quilt, especially the little nine patch!!
I ordered the DVD as well, and have been watching it in bits and pieces as I sew. It is wonderful, and really makes me feel tied to the past!
That DVD sounds very interesting! I look forward to seeing your NYB block/quilt. It's a pattern I'd like to make too.
Congratulations to Kaaren!
I have to go through my books and see what patterns I want to make this year, I need one new one for my new bedroom, so hoping to find a pattern that is nice, but simple.

Congrats to the lucky winner! Awesome magazine - gonna go out and buy me one!
Kathie, thank you for sharing the link as to where we can get the DVD 'Why Quilts Matter'. I've heard lots of good thing about it. Definitely have to check this out.
Yippee for Kaaren! Congrats!!!
Yeah for Kaaren; I'll keep looking for this issue. Thanks for the reminder about the PBS show. I had completely forgotten about it.
Congrats to Kaaren! I love the sound of the DVD and the book has been on my list to get too. I adore NYB quilts and a traditional one is definitely on my list, maybe we could compare notes later on.
Congratulations to Karen!
nice blog, I found you at Log Cabin Quilter, Karen mentioned your postage stamp quilt...
My late Mother started one a number of years ago. Maybe this will inspire me to work on it.
Really like your blog and all your colors.
Congrats to Kaaren! That DVD is on my Christmas wish list. With all the football, etc. around our house, it is often hard to catch PBS where the series runs. I have a little giveaway going on - hop over if you have a moment!
Congratulations to Kaaren!!!
Woo hoo to Kaaren! I checked with our PBS and they are not showing this now but started a request list so maybe sometime soon in the future??????
Looks like a great program. I will have to watch for it.
Thanks for letting us know about the PBS quilt series. It hasn't come to our station yet. I may have to buy the DVD. I'm glad you got Bill Volckening's book. I could look at those quilts forever!
I bought the magazine today, mainly for your quilt design from the cover. I have been dropping by your blog to site see, and am amazed by the amount of quilts you have made already this year!! I wanted to have the magazine pictures to study why your quilts sparkle the way they do. Off to cuddle up and read!!
