Applique Thursday Giveaway

A little closer to done.  Last night was the start of festivities for this Christmas.  Groan - what temptation.  I was successful with my one plate plan for indulging during this holiday season.

The winner of last week's book, Four Blocks Say More... is Linda.  I've sent her an email.  Thank you to all who commented or shared their eye candy.  I wish I had had time to reply to all of you, but computer time is limited right now, or else I'd never have my little blocks of quilting.

This week's giveaway is a wonderful book titled:  Crazy but Pieceable by Hollie Milne.  Eight projects (they have a bit of applique).  Hollie teaches you how to make blocks of crazy piecing to use in your quilts in a different way than in a crazy quilt.  Great way to use scraps in the same color family.  It is a technique ahead of its time.  Kay MacKenzie has just published a book using this method - but her pieced fabric made from scraps is the makings of applique pieces and she doesn't paper piece.

To win this copy, all you need to do is comment or link to have a chance for it to be yours. Or do both and have two chances. And for extra chances, tell your friends about this giveaway.  If they comment or link and mention you in their comment, you'll automatically get another entry in this giveaway. Submissions end Wednesday night. Use the blue link below. And remember, it doesn't have to be applique (that you share that is) - I love all sorts of eye candy.

    Hello again!! I decided to add my tri-fold wallet and coffee-carrier (which I used WonderUnder on to stick then stitch around a scooter and bird!). Have a great night :)

    Hello,

    Just found your blog. A wonderful giveaway. I linked up something that wasn't applique, but a hand lotion bar recipe. You must try it, very soft on your hands, you will have perfect hand for applique.

    Happy days.
