1. I enjoyed your conversation! Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of the challenges – stretching each other to go off in new directions. I am comfortable in the art quilt category, so would enjoy a new book. Thanks for giving us a chance, Lori!
   I don’t have a particular symbol. But I like things from nature.

2. My symbol would be a teacup and saucer, which represents, to me, both slowing down to enjoy the quiet moments — to contemplate and appreciate, and enjoying the companionship of a friend.

3. My symbol would be a funky bird or circles. I use both in my quilts.

4. Thank you for this fun give away. I have been thinking of quilting more with “words” lately, so hope this book can inspire me even more.p

5. I would love to learn how to put family photos into quilts with my grandkids words (quotes). Sure could use her knowledge with her book. Thank you for a fun creative giveaway:)

6. What a lovely idea. Blog hop! I’ll be hopping along!

7. I love Humming birds so maybe that or I love the spiral shape of a seashell so maybe that would be me.

8. I would be a tea cup as i drink 8 to 10 cups a day and love it or a Dizzy needle with a piece of thread twirling behind the needle(this is my logo)

9. I already have the book and deborah’s videos as well, so don’t need to enter, but love her style!

10. What a wonderful adventure this has been! Thank you for all the inspirations, that seem to be never ending. Since I grew up in a war torn country, my symbol has always been the peace sign. It is ALL that I ever hope for in this beautiful world we live in. ✌️

11. I love reading and learning about new techniques, so my symbol would be a book. Really enjoying you posts Lori!

12. Thank you for the chance to win the book. My symbol would be a star – have been doodling stars for years so would make perfect sense to include them in my quilting…

13. Wow! Thanks for a chance to win! Deborah’s lovely; I would love to win this book! My symbol…a sunflower, or an espresso pot, or a lotus blossom…maybe a questn mark!

14. Mine would be a book, because I’m an avid reader

15. What a great interview, and I’m curious what got made of both your three items!
    My symbol would probably something botanical, a leaf, or an unfurling fern, maybe… though a needle and thimble could be my symbol, too.

16. My symbol, a simple “s” curve. I love the flow of it; it is so versatile and adaptable, and so relaxing to stitch.

17. I would love to learn about this process. Funny as it may sound, bananas are my favorite fruit and that just might be my symbol! (Or maybe a monkey?)

18. Her Quilts look very interesting,love to learn her techniques. My symbol would be a dog since I have 2 doodles ( golden doodle and labradoodle)

19. This book looks amazing!! I’d love to win it. My personal symbol has to be a dog. My lab mix and my husky bring much joy to my life!

20. I’m with you Lori. There are many symbols that would work for me but I think it might be something related to water like waves on a warm day….always changing and growing with each one. That is how I relate to sewing always changing and learning.
    I enjoy your daily lessons but need to put them to use. I like the reminders about getting away from sitting and doing some exercise. I feel it gives us more energy to sew.
    Keep up the good work.
    Kathy

21. My personal symbol is a signwiter’s paintbrush, a quill, though I often use many ocean and beach symbols in my pieces.

22. Just getting on board…art quilts intimidate me as well…the book looks so interesting…will need it for my library. I love nature, trees, water…a symbol? Not sure I have this obsession for pears and apples…fruity?

23. It’s so much fun reading your Inbox Jaunt each morning and winning Deborah’s book would be icing on the cake. BTW, my symbol might be a 2-layer iced cake…. it gives me as much pleasure to quilt it as it does to eat it

24. I have done some art quilting and it is always fun but I prefer to make a large quilt that can go on a bed. It is fun though to take a break now and then and just play. My symbol would have to be a sewing machine.

25. I think my symbol would be a tie dyed t-shirt

26. My personal symbols include feather, leaves, bicycles, turtles and salamanders. Thanks for the chance to win the book. It sounds very inspirational.

27. Would love to loose myself in this type of play. My personal symbols include a labyrinth, spiral and interlocking triangles. I’ve been dyeing fabric for about a year and have quite the stash that needs to be worked down. Thanks for introducing us to Deborah.

28. My symbol would be either a coffee cup or the number 26. It is special to me.
    Thanks for sharing!

29. I just found your blog and will continue to read it. Thanks for the chance to win this book! Spiral and hearts are two of my fav symbols.

30. Totally inspiring
    My symbol is a dragonfly

31. I think m personal symbol would be a flower.

32. Fantastic post thanks. I think words are my personal symbol as they can change to suit the style of quilt. Am looking at doing a David Bowie photo collage / word/ lyrics quilt for my son so book would be so great for inspiration !☺️ Live your work

33. I believe my personal symbol would be trees. I love the outdoors and find I get so inspired by other mixed media artists and art quilters with their own personal interpretation of nature. Thank you for all you do to inspire us!

34. I could really get into this. I think my personal symbol is courage. Courage to try new things, take a chance, step outside my safeness of traditional. Great find!

35. My symbol would be a kitty or a fox!

36. My personal symbol has always been a moon, sometimes crescent, sometimes full.

37. I’m just starting to experiment with art quilts. I’m intrigued by the concept of words or symbols as a starting point. Maybe the book could help me find my art voice. I’ll definitely check it out.

38. Stars of all kinds are my symbol. Twinkling stars in the night sky are magic. Starfish on the beach are reminders of lovely days by the sea. The North star reminds me of my moral compass, my personal true North. All inspire me with many possibilities for art quilts.

39. I love birds so I was thinking I might be a Humming Bird.

40. Sew many ways to quilt. I have never a strict art quilt. My symbol may be a smile.

41. I’ve bookmarked this post…and have referred to it repeatedly already. So many ideas! Leaves call to me, and I put them in many sewing projects in many ways.

42. my symbol would be a word FUN

    1. My symbol would have to do with golf, a ball, club,course logo or such.

43. My symbol has always been a heart, I have them everywhere!

44. since I make and give away two foot tall dolls to kids with cancer, etc, my symbol would be a doll. Thanks for the opportunity to win what sounds like an awesome gook

45. Dancing grid??? ooh, need this book! luv that an imperfect (stitching) line has the hand drawn look!

46. I really like your collage techniques, Deborah, and I’ve been awaiting the release of your book! My personal image would include a cat in my lap and a cup of coffee in my hand!

47. I think my symbol would be a cupcake or an owl. Love them both. I also like using free motion to quilt words into my quilt…. Nursery rhymes on a baby quilt, names, random words are all easy to do and personalize the quilt.

48. I am a coffee fanatic! So a coffee cup or maybe even a coffee bean might be a wonderful symbol for me!

49. Mine would be a blue feathered star. I’ve become a more modern quilter recently, but I have always loved piecing feathered stars, and blue is my color.

50. My personal symbol is the ginkgo tree leaf. This tree knows how to survive it’s environment and reminds me to tap into my inner strength.

    1. We need a Gingko leaf tutorial!!
