Many, many thanks to my friends Gerrie, Vivika, Debra, Candy, and Deborah for helping me celebrate. And many thanks also to everyone who entered - your comments have really been wonderful!
Digital collage has been my primary means of designing quilts for over 10 years. If you check out my gallery on my website and the tab on the blog labeled recent quilts you'll see what I mean. And those designs are just the tip of the iceberg. I have many more quilts designed or in work on my computer, and several printed out and ready to quilt. I feel so blessed to be living in this time of technological wonder. When printing on fabric with a home computer and printer became possible it was like I'd been waiting for that my whole life, and didn't even know it.

Thanks for the give-away. YOur work is beautiful.
I am a newbie to digital maipulation of images, and your imagesa re very inspiring. Most of my art quilts are very representational, and I'd relaly like to learm more about abstracts. Learning to digitlly alter my images would help a great deal.
Thnks again!

I would love to learn more about digital collage. I've done some digital art, but have not applied it to my quilts. I think it would be a nice combination.
This sounds like a great idea for me to explore now that I am retiring! I am going to enjoy following your blog.
love to study it. XXX = fingers crossed.

Thanks for giving us multiple chances to win your DVD. It's one I'd love to own.
:-D eirdre
Diane, I'd love to have your DVD. While I take tons of photos, and lots of people tell me they're very good, I don't use them in my quilts, only as a notebook. I'd love to see how you use yours and HOW you do it.
Of course, I'm constantly sharing on "how tos" and "things to think about" with a small group of newly minted art quilters here in my predominantly traditional guild.
Keep up the good work! (and throw out or remake the bad).

I've been taking photos for years of my flowers and gardens, as well as whatever inspires me along my travels. Even during creatively blocked times I have still been able to take photos. I'd love to learn new ways to use these photos in my art.
Ah digital collage! I could definitely use some lessons on that!
warm regards

Wow. I have just found you on quiltart list, and I have a feeling that you are now going to be one more reason that I will be spending time on the computer. ( I really needed another reason!?)
Interweave's DVDs are a godsend. My computer/collage experience is pretty limited....my printer is oh, so hungry, and will just as often as not, eat whatever I feed into it! Perhaps your DVD will be the impetus that I need to get going in earnest.
Ooh!Pretty Colors is getting bookmarked for quick reference. Here's my email so that you can contact me when I get chosen for your DVD!

I would love to win this DVD. Your work is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the opportunity to enter the drawing.
I have been a huge fan of your art and the thought of learning how to add digital images to my artwork by you is fabulous! I love to take photos, but then they sit on the memory card. Learning to add them to my quilts would be wonderful. Thanks so much for the chance to win a copy. (I signed up for your newsletter ages ago.)
Have been fascinated with the various techniques you use in the 12x12 quilts, especially the manipulation of photos. Would love the opportunity to win. Thanks.
Oops.....alsoAm following and signed up for the newsletter.
I make quilts with a nature theme. I think this would be a great technique. I enjoyed looking at the gallery. I followed the blog. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
It looks wonderful, hope it is a big success.

Hi Diane,
Actually, I didn't know I was interested in digital collage until I saw your work--fabulous! I think it's just what I need, as I can't get exactly what I want using the techniques I know now. Thanks for the give-away!

I used photos in several of my journal quilts for Houston. I used them pretty much as is and would like to jazz it up a bit. Would enjoy your DVD
I am following your blog.
Pick me, pick me (very subtle subliminal message)
Your work is great. I'd love a chance to win your DVD.
I finally got a chance to visit the blogs on your DVD giveaway tour, and have enjoyed them very much. I signed up for the prayer flag project right away, and am grateful for the intro, I would never have known about it otherwise! Love your work, and would love to have a copy of your DVD.
I have been dabbling in digital art and would love a good workshop to help me learn more!

Thanks for a chance to win a copy of your DVD. It looks great and something I really want to learn.
Love your use of color and the organic flow of your work. I would use DVD to inspire my work and to pick up some working tips. Will be signing up for your newsletter as well.
It looks like a fantastic DVD! Thank you for offering a chance to win it.
I've always wanted to work with my photos and photoshop and my quilts. Though I have tried a bit, I can't wait to learn your methods!
Hope I am not too late to enter the giveaway. I am taking a class on Photoshop and this is just what I need right now, so I can play with my new toy.
I have plans to work with digital collages, but so far, they are just plans!
--Lorraine
