Susan’s So Thankful Give-Away #4: Quilting Arts TV Series 700 DVD


Today, I’m giving away the Quilting Arts TV Series 700 DVD! This is a four-DVD set that includes all the episodes for an entire season of Quilting Arts TV with host Pokey Bolton. (I’m in three of the episodes in the 700 series, which started airing on public television stations in the U.S. last fall.) It retails for $39. 

Guests on these shows include Deidre Adams, Shelley Brenner Baird, Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, Mary Jane Butler, Malka Dubrawsky, Jamie Fingal, Victoria Gertenbach, Dianne Giancola, Candy Glendening, Kerr Grabowski, Mary Hettmansperger, Leslie Tucker Jenison, Susan Brubaker Knapp, Jeannie Palmer Moore, Judy Coates Perez, Beryl Taylor, Jean Wells, Valori Wells, and others.

Psssst! Notice those cute little houses on the cover of the DVD set? They are the work of Candy Glendening, whom I featured in yesterday’s giveaway. There’s a chance to win her DVD in that post. 
  
Here’s your chance to win! Leave a comment after this post and tell me why you like Quilting Arts magazine or Quilting Arts TV, or about a technique you’ve learned from them. (And if you haven't looked at either, what the heck are you waiting for?) I’ll pull one name at random at 9 p.m. on Tuesday Nov. 22, and send you the DVD set. We have a winner! Cornwoman has won the set of DVDs.

    Quilting Arts magazine inspires my right brain when the left wants to take over. It introduces me to "artists" from all over that I might never be exposed to. The digital downloads of mags that I cannot get locally is also appreciated. Unfortunately I cannot get the PBS shows here in northern ontario Canada. Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome give-away.

    I love it because there is so much quilting education in there. I still consider myself a newbie in quilting and as such I am always seeking out knowledge to further my quilting adventure. I love having those Ahaa moments and learning something new. This is where you can find them and enjoy.

    I love Quilting Arts - it always stretches my imagination. Even if a technique is shown that might not interest me at the moment, I find that I often use it in the future. Most recently I've used improvisational piecing techniques that I learned from the QA shows - love, love, love it! Jan in SD

    I love Quilting Arts magazines. The show is not on my public tv any longer. :( I was just starting out quilting and watched the show a few times before it went off the air.
    I think having a video of some of the shows would be great.

    Quilting Arts is one of my favorite magazines. It has given me the courage to try fabric painting (an article in one the Gifts specials I think), and the most recent article has the screen printing instructions, which I have just starting doing as well. I have enjoyed your thread painting articles, and made the little "magic" card cases for all my mini group friends a few years ago as well. Great pubication!

    I love both the magazine and the tv show. I recently learned a new technique that I'm crazy about and have already made three pieces using a technique totally new to me! Ana Buzzalino (episode 804) showed how to quilt the fabric all over and then add paint and other things to make a marvelous piece of art. It's fun and makes me feel free! Thanks, Ana and QA.

    I love Quilting Arts for all of the inspiration and techniques that allow you to grow in directions you may not have even thought of! I've found many quilters blogs by googling them when profiled in the magazine or on the TV Series. Unfortunately I've not been able to watch the last two seasons and would LOVE to win the Quilting Arts TV Series 700 set. I've really enjoyed fabric painting, using Shiva Paintsticks and all of the articles on free motion quilting.

My local library in Australia has series 100 of the QA DVDs (we are a little behind), but I was amazed to have the oppotunity to loan that. Oh imagine if i owned my own!
