Giveaway: Kaye Wood’s Starmaker books · Quilting | CraftGossip.com added these pithy words on Jan 24 12 at 11:09 pmmaryc wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 2:10 pmI subscribe to LOTS of quilting newsletters. Honestly, I can’t pick a favorite (although I always enjoy yours) because I learn something every time I read one. What an advancement to quilting knowledge newsletters have created. Keep up the great work.
Judy S wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 2:39 pmNewsletters are a wonderful tool to add to all of our knowledge of quilts! Can’t say I have a favorite because all of them are interesting…but I like the ones like yours that give us information about different techniques.
Sue W wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 3:01 pmHaven’t found a newsletter I didn’t like — they have great ideas and interesting information for a new quilter as well as for an advanced quilter. We can all learn from the ideas of others and create wonderful things!!
Ray Wachsmann wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 3:06 pmThe goal is for newsletters to be fun and inspiring. Mostly they succeed. I think the best is Ami Simms because she’s and awesome writer who has an incredible grasp of the English language. She also takes some of the most mundane aspects of life and writes about them in such a way that they become hysterical! I always open her emails for the belly laugh!
Peggy wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 3:38 pmI received lots of newsletters and one of my favourites is from Quilting@bellaonline.com. I believe she is in Austalia and always has lots of websites with free info, patterns and links.
Pat Roberts wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 3:45 pmI love receiving newsletters. I live in Spain and we do not have the amount of quilt shops with materials, books etc that you have in the States.You have good ideas which are explained clearly, a good voice to listen to and I love to keep up to date with your videos. Please keep up the good work.
Cynthia Davis wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 7:15 pmI like most of the newsletter I receive but yours has so many interesting items every week. I look for to getting it every Wednesday to see what is on sale and new itmes, and patterns. I cannot watch the vidoes because I only have a dail up internet so all the books I have are great for me to keep quilting. Keep up the great work you do.
Kathy M Boice wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 8:11 pmI receive alot of different quilting newsletters and enjoy them all. I am new to your blog and am just getting aquainted with it. Thanks for the opportunity to win these books!
Eileen wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 8:14 pmI agree–there are so many good and interesting newsletters. I’ve learned alot from them, yours included! Thanks for the chance to win.
Evelyn Chagnon wrote these words on Jan 18 12 at 10:58 pmAlthough it is not a formal newsletter, per se, I enjoy going to Bonnie Hunter’s website http://www.quiltville.com Her site is loaded with great ideas, tips, and quilty inspirations. I thoroughly enjoy Superior Threads newsletter and always glean new knowledge with every read. Quilt Guild newsletters are also a good source of information.
Marie M. wrote these words on Jan 19 12 at 7:30 amI have been on other quilt sites, but I really like the layout of yours. it is user friendly and being a Michigander, I love the side notes about northern Michigan.
Margaret M wrote these words on Jan 19 12 at 9:21 amEnjoy your newsletter, especially the show and tell and tips. I don’t read/receive many other newsletters per se, but I always read Bonnie Hunter’s daily blog and Joan Hawley’s weekly news.
Cathy wrote these words on Jan 19 12 at 10:53 amMy choice would be YOUR newletter. This is one I read completly through so I don’t miss anything. Keep up the good work.
Barb Dawson wrote these words on Jan 19 12 at 6:12 pmI enjoy “Show&Tell on your web site & others; I enjoy Dakota Cabin Quilts because the owner includes a little bit of personal info, such as the weather, &/or what quilt(s) she is presently working on.
.Dorothy McNaught wrote these words on Jan 19 12 at 8:13 pmYour newsletter is top of the line–you have been teaching me to quilt for many years, and now it’s great to have your instructions available in the newsletters online. Your Starmaker templates are essentials. Thank you for such clear teaching.
Lita Hulsey wrote these words on Jan 20 12 at 2:37 amNewsletter to me is very valuable. Lots of techniques learned. I bought the Starmaker Master Template Set and made womderful flying geese quilts, wedge design I used for Christmas trees. Thank you for the newsletters and keep up the good work.
Sharon wrote these words on Jan 20 12 at 8:17 amI love your newsletter! The show and tell is great with the history is my favorite parts besides the sales of course! But if you are looking for ideas I really like ‘Superior Threads’ newsletter. I glance through most of my other newsletters (except here of course
)…. I love Q and A sections and of course the show and tell sections on all of the newsletters. Good luck on you idea hunt!
Anne Pendergraft wrote these words on Jan 21 12 at 12:03 amI love most quilting newsletters I am the “editor” of our guild newsletter. We are always looking for ideas, too. I always enjoy organization tips. I do enjoy and look forward to Kaye’s newsletter
Michelle M wrote these words on Jan 21 12 at 11:11 amI subscribe to many online newsletters. One of my favorites is the Apple Blossom newsletter. I love applique and they have a generous free block of the month along with some great information. I’m anxious to start receiving Kaye’s newsletter.

beth daniels wrote these words on Jan 24 12 at 9:34 pmI love receiving your newletters. I enjoy the historical part of it. I did not remember some of the dates you mentioned.

Marty Askins wrote these words on Jan 24 12 at 11:04 pmI enjoy alot of newsletters that I get. I love yours with all of your tips and the next one is Bonnie Hunter’s – Quiltville. She has a lot of great patterns and shows how to do each of the patterns in simple terms for the beginning quilter like me. I would love to win this giveaway, Thank you for having it.
Debbie Constable wrote these words on Jan 24 12 at 11:17 pmMaureen Cracknell Handmade is a great blog!
Donna G. wrote these words on Jan 24 12 at 11:32 pmOf all the newsletters and blogs I read, I enjoy Kaye’s the most. Not only for the great ideas and tips, but also the humor! I also really appreciate the YouTube videos and the ability to purchase ebooks. Next to Kaye’s newsletter, I would say most of my quilting inspiration comes from being a member of QuiltingBoard.com
maria wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 12:23 amI love maureen cracknell’s blog too
Chris wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 3:25 amI subscribe to all kinds of newsletters. I live out in the country so this lets me keep current with the world. I love Missouri Quilts quick ideas. You have helped me with all kinds of problems like hexagons. Maryquilts is a wonderful one for patterns as is Rose Smith at Ludlow so many instructions and ideas. Quilting Gallery is great and so is Heart and Hands. Sew Mama Sew has great tutorial links, Geta has taught me so much. I could go on and on. All of you do a wonderful job of teaching and providing patterns and inspiration.
Cindy Wendt wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 5:07 amGreat Giveaway, Thank you for the chance to win.
I love Modas Blog, do they have a newsletter??? Not sure.
I love anything with Tutorials.
To be honest, I didn’t know you have a Newsletter, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE your YouTube Vids. I have lots of them in my Faves list. Don’t own any of your stuff, but would love to.
Thank you for your You Tube vids.
Judith wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 6:05 amI also get quite a few newsletters and it is hard to choose between them but Elefantz newsletter is a good one.
Becky Greene wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 8:17 amI am just getting back into quilting after a much-too-long hiatus, so I can’t say that I have a favorite newsletter. After finding yours, I will certainly add it to my must-reads! Thanks so much for the wonderful giveaway!
BARBARA J EGGINK wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 9:11 amI used to watch Kaye all the time on ETV but where I live now , they don’t carry her. I have used her patterns before. I do subscribe 2 quilting news letters and would love to subscribe to Kaye’s if she has one. Thank you for the give away.
Regina wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 9:30 amI get a lot of newsletters each week and month. I like to be alerted to what is new on a site without having to remember to check, the newsletter is a great reminder. I really like About.com’s Quilting newsletter, the Fat Quarter Shop’s newsletter, and Judy Martin has great info in her newsletter. I like the daily emails I get from Craft Gossip and Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Cathy wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 9:57 amI don’t think you should change a thing. Why wreck a good thing..as you can see I like your techniques. Keep ‘em coming!
linda wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 10:13 amones with tips giveaway free patterns,etc.
Kathrynn wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 12:15 pmI get alot of newsletters and it is hard to pick one favorite, some of the ones I like are Fresh Lemons Modern Quilts, Victoriana Quilt Designs, CV Quilt Works and The Intrepid Thread. I also like reading Jenna’s blog at Sew Happy Geek.
Claire wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 1:15 pmI receive so many newsletters everyday, some days when they are so good it can take me up to 2 hours just to open them all and read them. They give me so many good ideas I just can not wait to get started on these new ideas, so things in progress can get changed so often they are just like samplers!!!
Lee wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 1:56 pmI get AmiSimms and read the Intrepid Threads newsletters. Thanks!
June wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 2:03 pmI enjoy your newsletter very much. I grew up in Mich. and it gives me a feeling of home. I also like the Bonnie Hunter newsletter, and the Quilters Digest. All of the newsletters are filled with so much information. The help they give is wonderful! It proves how generous others are. We learn a lot from all of them.
Tia wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 2:29 pmI too receive lots of newsletters and enjoy all of them immensely. I love to see what others are doing and learn so much reading about them. I particularly like one that I found the other day from a lady in Montana. She showed pictures of her home, the wildlife in the area and the spectacular scenery. I feel like I’m on vacation! I will probably never visit some of the places that I see but I do enjoy the pictures the towns, mountains etc that people show on their sites.
de wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 2:35 pmI like the layout of your newsletter the best, and Quilters Digest. I get a lot of inspiration from them.
Kelly wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 6:55 pmI don’t currently subscribe to any quilting newsletters. Mostly that’s because it just hadn’t occurred to me. There are several blogs that I enjoy such as Oh Fransson & With Heart and Hands. I also listen to podcasts like Quilted Cupcake.
Shannon Haas wrote these words on Jan 25 12 at 10:27 pmI subscribe to a lot of quilting newsletters and the one thing that I like about all of them are the tips and ideas. I also like the patterns and video how tos.
Jeanne G wrote these words on Jan 26 12 at 12:07 amI love all of my quilting newsletters, I can’t pick a favorite. Ya’ll are just so good. Thanks for a chance to win Kaye’s book. Pick me
Dennis wrote these words on Jan 26 12 at 1:08 amHi, I have to say I really don’t have one that I like more than any other. If I learn something new from a newsletter it is a great newsletter. I know that maybe some of them say the same thing every week just different words I still have to like it because they are smart enough to change the words around. Then there are ones like yours that are teaching newsletters that I keep and go back to until I learn the way that you suggest, I still keep the ones that may not teach but are so funny I have to keep them. Thank you for the giveaway it is really great of you to give away your books.
OHSue wrote these words on Jan 27 12 at 9:14 pmI enjoy reading Leah Day’s blogs when they are about quilting, of course love the Quilt Show and also videos by Missouri quilt co…. oh and lets not forget the videos Kaye has to share with us, especially enjoy the ones with Joanne Hawley.
Cathy wrote these words on Jan 28 12 at 6:27 pmLove your newsletters especially when you offer free patterns. Would like to see more southwest fabrics and patterns. Keep up the great work!
Lisa wrote these words on Jan 29 12 at 9:19 amI read a lot of quilting newsletters and get something from each of them. You just never know when you’re going to find something great.
Carol Crossman wrote these words on Jan 30 12 at 7:05 amI have several I get but other than yours I love Janet Wickell from About.com quilting guide. This takes you to a site so full of quilting ideas and patterns. There are greaat instructions there to including for new quilters. Another is Quilt with Marci Baker. She invented the Tumbling Blocks pattern and has also designed many quilting tools. She has great tutorial on her web site. I would love to receive your Starblazer books. I see you include log cabin which is the next big quilt I intend to tackle. God bless you for the offer.
Lisa link wrote these words on Jan 30 12 at 9:37 pmHi Kaye! How exciting to have the chance to not only win a copy of your books, but to win signed copies! I recently found your website when searching for Joan Shay, to my surprise finding her led me to your show via u-tube. Like a lot of your other online followers, I too get other newsletters. I enjoy learning new tips, seeing new fabric lines, being offered new patterns ( free ones are great), and updates of where quilt instructors will be teaching or selling items. I think it would be great if a newsletter would include a free pattern each month with a u-tube instructional video together. The ability to use your own fabric stash instead of buying a kit would be a great door opener to future customers. Good luck to all!
Sandy wrote these words on Jan 31 12 at 10:49 amI enjoy on line newletters – because they usually have a link to photos and sometimes videos. I am a visual person and love seeing the quilts in progress and the completed ones. I enjoy your online demos, I have learned so much from them.
Happy Quilting!
