Okay, so this first picture is for Kimberly - only for you friend! My hair is crazy today!
Anyway, I am so excited to share with you Kimberly Einmo's new book, Modern Quilts & More recently published by AQS Publishing. I have known for a long time that the quilt Orange Zest, the one I quilted for Kimberly was going to be on the cover of the book. Yay! So, today I received the book in the mail and I can not tell you how excited I was! Best mail day in a long time!!
Perfect timing on all parts, I actually have Orange Zest in my possession to show off at the HMQS show next week. So, I was so thrilled to take pictures of the book and quilt together. Now I can finally share this quilt I quilted forever ago.
Kimberly has outdone herself and the quilts in this book are fabulous! You will love this new book, I am sure of it. You can purchase a signed copy of the book from Kimberly here.
I have to tell you that I still pinch myself to think that I get to share my quilting with so many people and to be on the cover of Kimberly's book is nothing short of an honor that I am so grateful for.
I also have to give a shout out to the Editor's at AQS for making this book fantastic, the layout is beautiful! Of course I am thrilled and maybe a little bias ;-) towards them since my own book was released in December, but they really do a wonderful job when it comes to their publishing.
So, what do you think of the quilting? I absolutely love it. It was so fun to quilt up.
Look on page 32 and you will find this fabulous quilt.
Yep, my name above. Never gets old.
And, a special treat - I talk about my quilting on page 37.
You can see a few more of Kimberly's fun projects on the back cover. Aren't the projects fabulous?
One more shot of the quilting. I absolutely love this quilt and I am so happy to finally be able to share it with you. One of you lucky readers will get a chance to win one of Kimberly's books, signed by her of course - just leave one comment telling me how excited you are for this book and I will pick a winner in the next couple of days.
Good luck!
One more thing - Stephanie is hosting the Supernova Friendship Block Swap here - and she is giving away a copy of my book and a gift certificate to our website. Lots of places to win today! Be sure to check that out after leaving a comment here for Kimberly's book.

I love your quilting Judi and I Love Kimberly! She stayed at my house when she came yo speak at our guild! I would absolutely love a copy of her new book especially with quilting by the awesome Judi Madsen.
I've always been more of a pastel-y person, but I love this quilt in all of it's orange-ness and the bonus negative space! Having a quilt quilted by Judi aka The Grreen Fairy is on my "bucket list".
Very excited about this book!
What fun quilts and great quilting, love to have this book
Lovely quilt...your quilting is extraordinary Judi!!!!
Wow - love the quilting!!!! Of course, I always love your quilting! Thanks for posting!
I love what you have shown of the book - can't wait to see inside. Love your quilting too. It amazes me every time I look at your blog :)
Judi, your quilting blows my mind! So amazing! Somehow this is the first time I've heard about this book. I have scoured the internet to find more pictures from the book and haven't had any luck. But I have some of Kimberly's earlier books and they are always wonderful. I would so love to win, thanks for the chance!
You and Kimberly make a great team! What a beautiful quilt!
PS. One highlight of the AQS Quilt Show in Paducah was seeing one of your quilts in person!!! What an honor! You are an amazing quilter!

All I can say is WOW!!!! I thought the fire and ice quilt was awesome....but all I can say is this is amazing! I bet I looked at a dozen different stores to find the magazine with fire and ice in it...but I will have to have this one. Orange is my absolute favorite color in the world. This quilt, orange zest will be my new favorite. I have already made it my new wallpaper. Fire and ice has been my wallpaper for the last 6 months! You both do amazing work.
An amazing work, a terrific collaborative team. I'd love to add Kimberly's book to my studio for inspiration and projects.
Judi, I'm pretty sure I'm your biggest fan here in Minnesota! You are so talented and I love seeing your work! I sure hope one day our paths cross! Looking forward to Kimberly's new book!

Hi Judi!
Love the quilt and the quilting is exquisite! It boggles the mind as to how you come up with all of your ideas of how to quilt any given quilt. Looking forward to picking up some of your insight on this and so excited that I may actually get to see this quilt first hand at the HQMS next week. So looking forward to your workshops! See you soon! Kathy
I didn't realize she had a new book out! I would love a chance to flip through it. :)
This is one I definitely want to get my hands on. Her work is great, and I agree, AQS does publish beautiful books. Your quilting is gorgeous! I'm so excited that it will be at HMQS and I can see it in person!
Awesome, inspiring work! Can't wait to see the book.
What an exciting and beautiful quilt. I love how the hues of this quilt are so bold. Just looking at it, I feel happy and refreshed. And, as always, your quilting is so beautiful and intricate. Until now, I had not been a huge fan of modern quilt designs; I use old fashioned/traditional blocks. But, from the preview you've given me, I must say I find the patterns quite interesting and exciting! Thanks, as always, for sharing your absolutely lovely work!
Absolutely amazing! Congrats to you both! Your quilting makes any quilt a true work of art. Thanks for the chance.
That is gorgeous work, Judi. The book looks beautiful, too, and would make a wonderful addition to my personal library. So much to learn!
That quilt is just beautiful! I never thought I'd come to like modern quilts, but the more I see of them, the more I do like them. I would love to try one of these patterns.
Really exquisite quilting Judi…no wonder you are excited to see the book. Makes me excited too!

Holy Cow!!! I just love your quilting, and Kimberleys quilt was just made for you amazing designs. The book looks very appealing. I get such a buzz when I see you have posted new photos. Love them.
Dear Judi
Well done! It is stunning!!! You have a gift and you use it. I have an idea for a quilt competition. Some of us can only window shop, as we can not afford to get a quilt, quilted by you. Life happens. It would be fantastic, if you ran a competition where you choose one quilt, one of your choice, we all submit a photograph of a quilt that we would like you to quilt. As a added bonus, in order to enter a photo, we all pay a fee, $1-00 - $?. A portion to cover your time quilting the winning entry, batting, ect. (You get to show us all the finished quilt on your blog) and the rest a donation to the wonderful work you and your hubby do for charity in Romania? What do you think?
No one else is doing anything like this.
Elizabeth
