{Book Review of Kaffe Fassett’s latest quilting book and a Book Giveaway! }
Good morning all! I’ve had the honor of reviewing Kaffe Fassett latest quilting book, Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts and it is stunning. I love how he draws from the world around him for inspiration. The book consists of 23 original quilt designs and they are incredible! He uses both organic designs like his quilt, Floral Snowballs to very linear designs like, Stripescape. He has a nice range of quilts for the beginner all the way up to the expert.

For me it is color that I find most inspiring. The mix and feeling that I get from seeing it all come together.
I love to see the color in quilts. I get inspiration from anything around me, it can be nature or someone’s outfit. All vibrant colors help it all come together for me.

I’m inspired by so many things — you should see the notebooks that I keep at my desk! Right now it’s a photo album from my childhood. The colors in the photographs just look so different than photos today. Were the 70s really that vibrant?
Hi, I am inspired by nature, I love the flowers and trees, the colors they have during its life cycle. I like the use of color, I think abuse of it.
I’m inspired by nature & everyday objects….color & texture draw me in to look closer at the details!
I am inspired by nature as well, by the broad sweeps of color on a stormy beach or the washes of color in a sunset sky.
It is my 4 amazing little girls, for sure! I love creating something that is suited to each of their unique personalities and then seeing their faces light up when I finish it!
I am inspired by the coziness that quilts give the giver, the receiver, how it makes any room or bed more cozy. Everyone should receive or make a quilt in their lifetime! Cozy up to a Quilt!
When I’m crafting, I’m generally inspired by my kids, or other family members! I love to find creative ways to make things for those around me.
I’m usually inspired by someone else’s project and then thinking about how I could totally change it and personalize it!
I am inspired by looking at other people’s work…and by the colors!!

I am most inspired by what is happening outside in nature, whether its snowing or the flowers or blooming, i find it all inspirational!
I’m inspired by Japanese art.
God’s creation inspires me! Seeing the beauty around me always warms my heart and makes me want to *create* whether in the garden or by painting!
Everything. Or, anything. A little detail of the most mundane item will catch my eye and become something amazing.
I’m studying arts so most of my DIY/sewing projects are inspired by arts history. I like to be inspire by the shapes, colour or simply by the subjects of famous masterpieces.
I’m inspired by kaleidoscopes and folk art museums.
