Over the past several months I have enjoyed email conversation with one of my own most cherished "Quilting Rock Stars”, Judy Martin!
Can you imagine my shock and quilter’s heart flutters when I received a friendly conversational email from Judy introducing herself to me (As if I didn’t know who she was!) and telling me how much she enjoyed MY quilts.
Holy cow, Judy’s book “Scrap Quilts” published in 1985 was one of the first books on my shelves. I was 23 when I bought it. I still have it --pages worn and dog-eared and oh, so cherished.
Her quilts whet my appetite from the very beginning, and here she was introducing herself to me in such a friendly way via email, just to say hello.
She drew the parallels between us in the following ways:
we both love scrap quilts
we both own sizable stashes
we both write quilt pattern books
we both design original quilts in the traditional style
we are not afraid of quilts with a gazillion pieces
we both started making quilts as teenagers
we have both written for Quiltmaker
And little did she know that one little email made my day, my week, my month, my year ---yes, Judy Martin is still MY Rock Star!
So when her hubby Steve contacted me to ask if I’d like to offer one of Judy’s new books, Extraordinary Log Cabin Quilts as a GIVE-AWAY to one of my readers ---my reply was an astounding, AUTOMATIC YES!
I wouldn't be where I am without the lessons I learned and the inspiration I received through Judy Martin’s books.

My favorite Judy Martin book is The Creative Pattern Book.
wowzer! those are beautiful and I have had an obsession with log cabin quilts lately so I have to get this book! either win it or buy it! lol... i hope i win it! tamaraboatright at gmail dot com.
I have a couple of Judy's books but I check her website every week for new pictures of her quilts made by others as they are all so different and beautiful. I read your blog almost everyday. You are also an inspiration. I appreciate the sharing that the internet offers and the learning that is available from folks like you and Judy.
Wow....what a great giveaway!! I love Paducah Log Cabin!! That is definetly being put on my list of quilts to make!! Thanks Bonnie for all you do for the quilting world!! You are our Rock Star!!!!
I love the book, Stellar Quilts. My all time favorite quilt is from that book called Kyoto Gardens.
Scrumptious! Main Street Log Cabin is gorgeous, but I love Door County Log Cabin and Honeymoon Log Cabin too. Thanksgiving, Kyoto Gardens, and Loveland Log Cabin are lovely too. So is... How can I choose a favourite?!
Love, love, love log cabin quilts. I need to make more of these to reduce my scraps. This book looks like another winner.
Hi, Bonnie, Judy has been a long time favorite designer of mine as well. I can see many parallels between your work and Judy's. These patterns are just wonderful - WHOA! - who'd believe these are log cabin variations? That is one powerful traditional block, isn't it?!
Wow, What stunning quilts. Log Cabin was my first quilt and still my favorite design for a quilt. I would love to make one of these new designs.
What a beautify book. We feel about you the way you feel about Judy. Inspired. Thanks to you both for the chance to win.
I am a beginner quilter who has never done a log cabin block and my quilting library is sparse. Would love to have this book and learn something new.
I have Judy's Log Cabin Quilt Book and just love it!!!! Judy's new book definitely is going on my wish list. Thanks
I would love to win this book, thanks so much for the opportunity!!

My favorite Judy Martin book is her Pieced Borders book written with Marsha McCloskey. It has so much info. I've used it so much it's falling apart.
Such beautiful quilts!! Would love to win!
Judy's quilts are amazing! I would love her new book!

rhonda105@juno.com
Those are some amazing log cabin quilts! Thanks for introducing me to another great scrap quilter.
I have many of Judy's books now and love the inspiration I find in them. Had to run down to my bookshelf and haul them all up to peruse thru the day. Thank you Bonnie and Judy for keeping the spirit of quilting alive!
Maybe I'll try some of Judy's cookie recipes over the holidays!
Oh My Goodness! I'd be tickled pink to receive a copy of this book. I've just recently fallen in love with logcabin blocks but don't know anything other than how to do the most basic things and layouts. I've seen beautiful logcabin quilts in pictures that just blow my mind (like Judy Martin's examples you shared) but haven't the foggiest how to begin. WOW is all I know to say about the photos of Judy's quilts!!
I would love that book .I love scrap quilts and log cabins and the photos I have seen here are beautiful
This book like a MUST HAVE
Gunda
Would so love this book. My friend Fay has one of her other books that she seems to carry with her everywhere. Judy Martin quilt is on my bucket list.
Yes, Shakespeare in the Park is also on my list, but my most favorite book is her Cookies and Quilts book; the recipes are amazing, especially the one for chocolate chip cookies that are baked in a muffin top pan!!! Ill bet you're still grinning from getting fan mail from one of the biggies :-)

Love her quilts and have made several. My favorite so far is Fingerlake Log Cabin. I made this in blues for my daughters wedding in 2009. She loved the quilt but cancelled the wedding 2 weeks be fore the date. It sits upstairs in my sewing room waiting for her to be ready to enjoy it. She will finish a college degree this spring so I am hoping I can relabel it and she can enjoy it for this occassion. Also made Lincoln Lofs in red white and blue. It is hard to deciede what to try next,,,after this mystery quilt of course!
Have fun in Germany, Bonnie! I would love to win Judy Martin's new book. The two are the queens of scraps.

Oh my gosh! I love Judy Martin's books too! What a fabulous give-away! And so happy to hear that she has another book coming out! You both are such talented women. It's no surprise to me that you have so much in common! And quilters really are the best kind of people! :)
I didn't know there are so many ways to use the log cabin. I love all of these quilts. WoW!!
I own all her books. Have been a fan for years!!!!
Judy
Wow - what a great book, would love to win it!
I made Judy's Shakespeare in the Park and won Judge's Choice in our local show. Then I taught the class at our LQS. I have traveled to meet her and have all her books except this newest one. She and Bonnie are my heros! Thank you for the chance to win this book.
Would love a change to win this fav book. Log cabin is one of my favorite patterns
Judy Martin quilts are amazing and an inspiration to keep growing. Snake River is on my bucket list.
I have several Judy Martin Books and have made quite a few of them. Judy breaks the patterns down into language that is easy to understand.. My favorite is Kentucky Log cabin. Beth Cates RONBETH64@msn.com
I've only made one log cabin quilt & it was a crib size. Judy's book makes me want a bed-size quilt for myself! It may get a top ranking on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your passion for quilting and thanks to both of you for the opportunity to win this book.
I would love love to win this book by Judy Martin! Love it!
barbnlarry@yahoo.com
I have been a JM fan since forever, and would love to win her latest! I love her scrappy quilts (the more fabrics the merrier!) and I love your scrappy quilts, too, Bonnie! I don't have a favorite quilt from Judy's books. Love them all!
Oh. My. Heart! I just added 6 must- make quilts to my list. First Paducah Log Cabin then Honeymoon and 4 more. Love, love, love!
Shame on me that her name doesn't ring a name until now. Love her Patriotic Main Street Log cabin!
Thanks so much!
Her designs really are amazing.
I would love to win this book

Really JUdy Martin I love her patterns. Yes for sure. Let me win.
What a fantastic giveaway! I love all of Judy's designs, but for sure "Shakespeare in the Park" is on my "to do" list. Thanks Judy and Bonnie!
Oh MY! What beautiful quilts. I have to admit that I have never been introduced or seen a book by Judy Martin. I L-O-V-E these quilts! I will be ordering some of her other books first in the hopes that I will win this drawing - it could happen! If not, this book will be in my library very soon! Thank you for the opportunity to win but mostly for introducing me to a wonderful designer!
What a wonderful giveaway! Thanks a lot to Judy and to you!
beautiful tiny strips in those log cabins! that would be such a challenge to me who has been stuck making almost nothing but 2.5 inch wide log cabin strips for everyone I know and being afraid to branch out...Celtic Solstice and a few prior BOM have helped me some. Would love to win her book especially if you love her, Bonnie!
I just bought my first little white Singer Featherweight to use for piecing and I would love to use it to make Judy's Paducah Log Cabin Quilt. (tlfouhar@gmail.com)
My first quilt was a log cabin in 1979! Love them. You and Judy are both terrific! Keep up the great work.
Love log cabins and these look pretty spectacular!
I love Judy's books and have several. This one also looks like a winner!
I think my first Judy Martin book was Scraps, BlocKs and Quilts. Always love her style.
Thank you for doing this. I would love to win this book.
bonniemcdnl@gmail.com
Gorgeous quilts! I love her books, and I love love love log cabin quilts! And I love seeing your photos from far away places. Hope you are having fun in Germany (o soon will be).
I have been eyeballing that book but just couldn't justify buying it for myself, especially at Christmas. Her quilts like yours look too complicated to make, but one bite at a time and they just stun you. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book.
Oh Bonnie, you both are my heroes! I have all of your books and almost all of Judy's. I would love to win her newest book, then my collection will be complete. I'll keep my fingers crossed until Thursday. Kinda hard to sew that way but I'll try. haha

I would love to add this book to my other Judy Martin books. I love her quilts and have the blocks done for Shakespeare in the Park.
OMG I so love Judy's work and for whomever wins this new book it will be such a lovely Christmas gift to spend all day reading and looking at their new book.
Hi Bonnie and Judy, What a great surprise to see this morning, a Judy Martin book and a give away. I've admired Judy's first book for years, but not taken the plunge. I think the Paducah log cabin may have me stepping out and doing my first one although looking at all of the quilts in the book made me want to do several. I admire the detail and craftsmanship in these quilts. It would be an honor to have this signed book to work from. kitseye@gmail.com
I would love to win a Judy Martin book. Thanks for the chance.
I've got several of her older books, and especially love the 'blocks' books. Carolina in the Morning from Judy Martin's Ultimate Book of Quilt Block Paterns was used for a quilt for a miltary commander's wife's quilt, and then I resized it to 6" for the next version of the quilt. Those guys in the 82nd Airborne certainly saw a lot of mornings in Carolina--the name of the block made it an obvious choice.
I love Judy Martin books as well. I can't believe all the amazing ways she has come up with in this book to use log cabin blocks. I can't wait to get this book one. Thanks for giving us a chance to win it.
Thx. For chance to win this book. Love her books!
I have all her books and several of her quilts that she auctioned off a few years ago. Love her style but then I too love scrap quilts!
Love, love, love her log cabins! A log cabin was the first quilt I ever did, and it in no way looked as stunning as hers. I would love to have one of her books.
How awesome these designs are! I would absolutely love to have this book. Log cabin quilts have alays been one of my favorites. Thanks to both of you for all the beauty you share.
I've made a few traditional log cabin quilts, however I love the way Judy has reinvented the pattern. I especially love the Paducah Log Cabin pattern and know it's going on my bucket list of quilts I gotta make.
OMG!! A new JM Book? I have collected her books for years, only made 1 though, Shakespeare in the Park. I need to revisit her site.
Count me a Judy Martin fan. She was scrappy before scrappy was cool.
I would love the Judy Martin book. the quilts look so beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win. Have fun in Germany.
Door County at the Gate, I love log cabins and this log cabin with the circles is elegant with the flow creating from the center. Feeling lucky.
this looks like which one to try first They are magnificent looking
I love Judy's quilts! It all started with her Colorado Log Cabin quilt for me.
I love the Buckeye Log Cabin . I really love the quilts you showed
Wow! These are incredible. I have always wanted to do a log cabin quilt but have been so intimidated. I am still intimidated but if Judy holds my hand, I might just be able to do it. :) Thanks for a great giveaway and hope you are having fun in Germany.
I remember one year when I made it an intentional search to find her Log Cabin book. This new book looks like it should be a wonderful addition to my Judy Martin book collection. I need to find time to make another one of hers, in between making yours.
Wow, those quilts are wonderful. Thank you for the chance to win the book. I love log cabin quilts.
How exciting! Sounds like you love Judy as much as we love you!
Omgosh!!! What an opportunity!! I love her books and designs. You're right y'all both have so much in common and I would love to think I fit right in there with both of you!! I have all your books and have made lots of your patterns and the same with Judy. You both are definitely my "Scrap Idols!" I would love to win this book to add to my collection!
OMG, What awesome designs, thanks for the opportunity to win this book. If I don't win, I will definitely be searching her books for my perfect one. Thanks Bonnie~
Log cabin has always been a favorite block because of its versatility. Judy's are log cabin on steroids! I would love this book. Maybe you should guest host a post from your new friend. It might spark an interest in blogging. Thanks for the opportunity.
Winding Ways as a Log Cabin Quilt?! WOW! I think I want to be Judy Martin when I grow up and make quilts like that. Sigh....
This is an wonderful giveaway. Thank you Judy and thank you Bonnie.
WOW! I never knew could do so much with a log cabin. Love them!!!
Mary P
Made my first log cabin block when I finished off my Stonehenge meets Jamestown BOM - loved the look, and so easy to chain piece. I really love the movement in some of these quilts - hoping to win the book, but if not, will surely buy it. Here's hoping for a win.
It would be impossible for me to pick just one of Judy's quilts....love them all! Would be a wonderful Christmas present to win this book.
To pick a favorite I'd have to head down to my bookshelf, and it's too cold right now to do that! The Padacua Log Cabin is a wowzer! I'd love to make that one and succeed in finishing.
Thank you for sharing the lovely quilts. Such a nice way to start a Saturday morning.
I love the Scrap Quilt book. Great ones in here. Thanks for the chance to win her Log Cabin book.
Love, love, love them all! What a wonderful Christmas present this book would be~
I can see by the comments that I'm not aone in being a huge fan of both Judy and Bonnie. A favorite quilt of Judy's? Can't choose --maybe Shakespeare in the Park or Colorado Star or Tennessee Waltz or Virginia Reel or. . . .

I love Judy's quilts. I own several of her books. I think one of my favorites - although there are many - is "Shakespeare in the Park". I have even converted the pattern so I can use my Go! dies to cut most of the pieces! I also love log cabin quilts.(sue@asdfwordpro.com)
Sure would love to win her book, she has the prettiest log cabin patterns I ever saw. Haven't saw her books around here anywhere either!!! Email marsha.steelman@gmail.com
Wow, I've always love log cabins, but Judy has taken them to a whole new level!
I, too, find loads of inspiration from Judy's books. One of my go-to books for great borders is Pieced Borders coauthored by Marsha McClosky. Her new book looks fabulous!! Hope to win it but it needs to be in my library one way or another! LOL! Thanks Bonnie and Judy.
A log cabin quilt was the first I ever made and have made several more since. But they were nothing like those showing from Judy Martin's book. Would love to win it, but will get it one way or another! Thanks for offering it.
Dianne in BC bcquilter73 @yahoo.com
I keep hoping that Judy will be initiated the Quilters Hall of Fame, honestly she has done so much for the quilting world and her patterns just keep on coming!
My all time favorite of course is "Shakespeare in the Park"! What a great pattern.
And when it was time for me to make a baby quilt for my very first grandchild I turned to Judy's books to scout out the pattern.
Thanks for the chance to win her newest book, I'm sure it will be full of her inventive and fun to make quilts!
Happy sewing
Shakespeare in the Park is my favorite. It's based on the snail trail block. Judy gave it a different look.
Scrap Quilts was my first quilting book too, and I was probably around the same age as you when I bought it, but quilting took a back seat to other activities until recently. Right now I am making Texas Star from that book, and just this morning I was thinking about starting Colorado Log Cabin, because I've set aside fabrics for that one too! Please count me in!
I love Grandpa's Log Cabin, the woven effect is stunning!
What a wonderful giveaway. Judy Martin is an inspiration to all of us. The fact that you showed some of the quilts is an inspiration to want to win this giveaway. Thank you Bonnie for sharing this with all of us. I love your quilts and the joy you share with us.
I, too, love Judy Martin's quilts! I haven't purchased this newest book yet and would love to win it! Thank you for the giveaway!
One of my favorite books by Judy Martin is "Scrap Quilts" I have made several quilts from this book and so has my mother. I love scrappy and this book speaks to me.
I love log cabin quilts, but sadly have not been very successful with them. Maybe Judy Martin's book is my "missing tool"? I would really love to have this book! Her quilts are just spectacular!!! Donna B (Winthrop WA) rockview@methownet.com
I just bought Scrap Quilts a couple days ago and am loving it. I always search my local bookstore for Judy's titles. The second quilt I ever made was her Cripple Creek log cabin design. Would love to make more..... (and your quilts are gorgeous too - thank you for all your time and effort with your quilting and this site - it is an amazing resource for us all).
What a treasure it would be to own this book! I have a few of Judys' books and they are fantastic. Her instructions are simple and easy to understand. And I just love all the beautiful quilts. Thank you for the chance.
I've always wanted to make Judy's Buckeye Log Cabin for DH who is a die hard Ohio State fan!
I would love to have this book .. I checked on her other titles at Amazon as soon as I read this post and have placed piece n play quilts in my shopping cart.
Like you, Judy's books were some of the first on my shelf ~ I love her designs and have made many of them. I hope to make many, many more!

This would be a marvelous addition to my sparse quilt library.
Love, love, love Judy Martin's quilts. I was fortunate to see her show at Paducah--my introduction to her quilts. Wow!!!! I did come home with some of her books.
I don't have any of her books, but I've seen her name on the internet. Enjoy your trip to Germany and don't freeze your toes at the markets! I'm writing from Poland, so books in English are precious. The few that I have are looked at over and over. I bring them from the states when I go back to visit, but only have about 5-10 total. :) Quilting is almost unheard of over here, though I think slowly increasing in popularity.
I just love Log Cabin quilts and I would love to win this. Thanks for the chance!
I love log cabins and log cabin quilts! We built our cabin by hand. And of course you can never have too many log cabin quilts to fill it!
My next quilt is going to be a log cabin- this book would rock my world!
LOVE the log cabin design - it's so versatile. Thank you for the chance to win this book!
Yes, her books are wonderful. Thanks for the gret giveaway and would love to win her book.
Love Judy Martin's books - own several, heard her speak at a quilt show. This new book looks fantabulous!!!
I have her books and love them. I have not gotten this one yet so would be a awesome one to win. Love both of you..Merry Christmas!
Beautiful quilts! what a lovely book! safe travels to Germany!
I adore Judy Martin's books! My copy of her "Scraps" book is also well thumbed, and the book on "Pieced Borders" that she co-wrote with Marsha McCloskey is a 'must-have'! I think my favourite quilts of hers come from two of her other books though: I love the colour gradation in Echoing Stars from the book "Stellar Quilts", and if you haven't seen the quilt called 'Byzantine Flower Garden' in "The Creative Pattern Book", Bonnie, you must check it out - hexies!!!! It's very beautiful. I also love how she always includes various colourways and layout options for the quilts in her books. It really inspires one's own creative process.
Awesome give away! I can't pick a fave because all things Judy Martin get my juices flowing.

I love her books. I made the hearts with the ribbon border and quilted it by hand. the next pattern I have my eye on is from her book "Cookies 'n Quilts, the Shenandoah Log Cabin. Of course I would love to win her new book! Sarah at scorporon at (aol- dot-com)
One of my favorite patterns of Judy Martin is Shakespere in the Park from "The Creative Pattern Book." Thanks for hosting another great giveaway. Hope your trip is grand!
How gorgeous! I don't know if I could choose, each is more beautiful each time you look at them. Mariposa caught my eye right off the bat, but I loved them all. The very first quilt I made was a log cabin, but next to these--a PRIMITIVE one. :(
Absolutely amazing!! WOW!!! I really like the one called Playful Spirit.
"Scrap Quilts" was my first quilt book as well. It started my lifelong love of scrap quilts.
Count me in! I love Judy Martin quilts, although I don't have enough color coordinated fabrics in my stash to make the quilts look quite like the picture. mrsseuss5@aol.com
I love Judy Martin I would love to have this book in my collection
I love Judy Martin. Her patterns can be incredibly complex, but her instructions are so clear that they are not hard to do at all! I would love to win this book to add to my collection.
My very first quilt in 1987 was a Log Cabin. To add this book to my collection of quilt books would be phenomenal.
Kathy L.
I would love to win Judy Martin's book. She is an amazing quilter and if you want to be good at something you should learn from the best. I just love her quilts and would love to have her book.

I am a Judy Martin book collector... Must have them all!--- As well as yours Bonnie. I would love to have this one to complete my collection. barbpowers77@gmail.com
I love log cabin blocks and am honored to be entered in a drawing for this book. Thanks to both for giving the chance.
I have Judy's book "Scraps, Blocks & Quilts". I find her examples of making the same block with different value and color placement fascinating. It has given me a better sense of value placement in my quilts. If I am lucky enough to win her new log cabin book, it will have a cherished place in my library.
I have Judy's first book of scrap quilts as well as her first log cabin book. I also have all of her other books as I love her work. I was fortunate enough to take classes from her at a retreat in Nebraska in the early 1990s. I love Monet's wedding ring and Loveland log cabin. Thanks, Judy and Bonnie.
These are gorgeous quilts! I especially love Paducah Log Cabin. Thank you for hosting and thank you to the Martin family for such a sweet giveaway!
Hope you are having a sweet travel!
I've never made a log cabin quilt before but after seeing the Door County one, that would be the one I'd choose for myself. Thank you for the chance to win the book!
As much as I love your patterns, Bonnie, I cannot tell a lie... Shakespeare in the Park is my all time favorite pattern! And the movement of the quilt in this new book are a-mazing!
I, too, love Judy Martin's patterns and would love a copy of this book! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the "Door County" quilt pictured above. The illusion of circles is amazing!
I love Judy`s books!
Hi Bonnie,
I'm with you - Judy is a quilting Rock Star. I have several of her books, and followed the making of this one from her emails. I love the quilts she has chosen for this book. I would say "Scraps" is my favorite book to date,but that may change as Log Cabin blocks are a favorite of mine.
I think I have finally found my quilt pattern for my bedroom. Paducha log cabin is perfect and the color is also. I have a few of Judy's books and really excited to add another.
Hi Bonnie,
I have multiple books from both you and Judy, my library would not be complete without them. Shakespeare in the Park was the latest one I created in Black, Gold & Red. The pattern was just stunning. I would love to win the latest book!
I would indeed like to win this book. My son just moved to Minnesota so I really need to make the Minnesota Log Cabin Quilt!!! Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to have my name/number drawn for Judy Martin's book she has been a favorite for me also. One of her log cabins is on my list for my next big project. One of my favorite is the one on the lower left corner. Sorry I can not remember the name of it but every time I see it I say that is the one I want to make :) Thank you for the opportunity to win the fabulous book.
I have always enjoyed Judy Martins work and would to win her new book!! thanks!
Hi, Bonnie, Hope you have a terrific trip to Germany! I LOVE LOVE LOVE log cabin quilts. They are the reason I took up quilting. One of my first quilts was a small log cabin to put on my coffee table. I have made many since, but nothing like the ones in Judy's book. Amazing!!! If I don't win it, I will be buying it!!! Thanks, Cindy (cprose@mymts.net)
Extraordinary quilts and quilter! I once took a class from her in Houston. I would love to win an autographed copy of her latest!
The quilts in the book are beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway!
Log cabin is my all time favourite block. I love Door County ♥ Thanks Judy !!
Judy Martin is one of my favorite quilt authors, and log cabin is a favorite pattern. Would love to have this book.
I love all of Judy Martin's work...especially the log cabin quilts. Dnoles54@gmail.com
Love log cabin quilts, scrappy or planned, and Judy is the master!
These are so gorgeous! I hope I win but if I don't this goes on my Christmas wish list & will be purchased in January if necessary.
Thank you for the giveaway!
All I can say is....OH, WOW! Who knew log cabin quilts don't have to be boring?
I don't have any of her books so this would be a great start to owning them, thanks for the chance to win!
This looks like a must have book. Adding a comment to win a giveaway here is like buying a lottery ticket. The amount of comments you rack up just in one hour for a give away is astounding. But I can't win if I don't play!
Fingers crossed here in NY.

Looks like a wonderful book! What I love the most though, is your enthusiasm, Bonnie! YOU are so precious and encouraging to everyone you cross paths with. God has gifted you with a very special talent (scratch that--God has gifted you with MANY special talents!) Carry on the good work!
What an opportunity! Would love to have one of Judy's books and autographed makes it even better. Don't think I could narrow it down to just one quilt because they are all so special.

I love Judy Martin quilts! I've followed her for years. I helped my daughter make one of her quilts in red, white and blue when she was still in high school! What a great opportunity to win a beautiful book full of even more beautiful quilts.
Would all you wonderfully creative teachers stop already! How am I ever supposed to make all the fabulous quilts before I die?
Thanks for the chance to win this great book.
Your Germany trip sounds so wonderful. Hope you are having lots of fun...Judy's book look like a real winner. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so inspired by this post. I've seen some of Judy's designs, but don't have any of her books. I will have to look for this one. Thanks!

I actually am like you a total fan of hers. I have 4 of her books and love them but have not made one of the quilts as of yet. So I would love to win the book and make one of the quilts from it.
I am also a long time admirer of Judy's work. I'd love to win a copy of her new book, been wanting to do a log cabin.
Love your comments and news worthly notes on your trip and Judy Martin. She is a favorite of mine and I never get tired of looking at her books and beautiful quilts! An inspiration to all of us to get quilting; that first step can start a wonderful journey.
Judy Martin is also one of only quilty heros. I'd like to work. Thanks for the opportunity!

I don't know that I could pick one favorite Judy Martin pattern. Love so many of them!
I have been a Judy Martin fan ever since I purchased her first book out over 20 years ago! Her work is creative and the same way I think, too!
Log Cabin quilts are my very favorite. There are so many beautiful patterns in this book, that it would be hard to decide which one to make first. O How I would love to win this book.
Oh I love Log Cabins. I love the ones Judy Martin makes!!!!
Love those log cabin quilts - would love to win the book: valerie.boudier@ntlworld.com
What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to win a copy of Judy's book. I have never made a log cabin quilt yet, but the very first quilt I owned was a log cabin made by my mother-in-law. She is the person who inspired me to take up quilting. Judy's Fall Foliage Spectacular quilt really talked to my heart. Thanks for the chance to win!
Pick me! I had my hand up this WHOLE time. :)
Judy's scrap book was one of my first books as well and I have 7 of her books so far. I would love to add this one to my collection.
I love all log cabins. Would love adding this book to my stash buster books!
Oh, my! Door County Log Cabin is the perfect blending of rectangles into circles! I still treasure my 1980 copy of Log Cabin Quilts, and use it still for inspiration.

The reason I began quilting was a Judy Martin quilt I saw in Holmes County, Ohio. It was from her Cookies and Quilts pattern book. I have yet to make it but I do own a few of her books and have made other patterns by her. I have just discovered your blog and I have gathered some of your patterns and I am trying to decide which one to do first.
I love the Pieced Borders book Judy wrote with Marsha McCloskey. It is a wonderful resource. Can't wait to see the Log Cabin book.
Bonnie, Judy is also a rock star to me! I have several pictures of her quilts in a favorite quilts folder. All I'd love to make. Wonderful that she's ask you to sponsor a give away for her yummy looking new book. Put my name in the hat at least 100 times. I'd love to win this book!
