Fave Books and DVDs

I'm thinking of holiday shopping.  Here are some of my fave books & DVDs, in no particular order, and I'ved * the ones that would be a great kick start if you're participating in the Sketchbook Challenge.

• Everyday Matters by Danny Gregory *
• An Illustrated Life: Drawing Inspiration from the Private Sketchbooks of Artists, Illustrators and Designers by Danny Gregory (I'm in this one!) *
• Inspired to Quilt by Melanie Testa
• The Found Object in Textile Art by Cas Holmes
• Journal Spilling by Diana Trout *
• Stitch Alchemy: Combining Fabric & Paper for Mixed Media Art by Kelli Nina Perkins
• Canvas Remix by Alisa Burke
• A Complete Guide to Creative Embroidery by Jan Beany & Jean Littlejohn
• Drawing Lab for Mixed Media Artists by Carla Sondhiem *

Blurb books, self-published by the artist:

• Painted Threads by Judy Coates Perez
• Wild at the Edges by Virginia Spiegel
• Beneath the Surface by Loris Bogue (My work was included in this exhibition)

DVDs

• Surface Design Sample Platter by Lyric Kinard (includes how to sew an easy journal cover)
• Design, Paint, & Stitch: Wholecloth Quilts by Judy Coates Perez (I confess, this one is on my wish list) 
• Quilting Arts TV hosted by Pokey Bolton (I love these, and watch them again and again while I work in my studio. Especially Series 300... blushing..where I make two appearances.)

These were just off the top of my head, so if you've got some super faves, let me know!
