Applique Thursday 8/9/12 & Giveaway

With temperatures of 109, 107, 106  not much of anything is getting done around here what with swimming lessons and playing with Alan a must.  Here's as far as I got with the next block - mind you I came home from CO at midnight Sunday -

What with hardly any quilting getting done, I so need eye candy to get me back in the groove. So this week's giveaway is a book ( a duplicate actually) that I think you'll really like.  Don was featured in SewCalGal's 2012 FMQ Challenge.  He had a great lesson for us.  I've used a couple of his motifs so I'll be keeping the other copy.  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. Submissions end Sunday night. Use the blue link below the photo.
 

Quilting Book Giveaway

To begin this season of giving and celebrating the Birth of our Lord, I'm giving away a wonderful book (I'm keeping my own copy) for all levels of quilters.  It's Harriet Hargrave's Heirloom Machine Quilting - A Comprehensive Guide to Hand-Quilted Effects Using Your Sewing Machine.  This is the Revised and Expanded Third Edition.  Beside Diane Gaudynski, Harriet has been invaluable help in getting my quilt tops done.  Mind you, I haven't gotten as fancy as these two Queens of Sewing Machine quilting, but I have begun to finish some on my own.

Follow me on this blog and leave me a comment and I'll give you 2 entries in this giveaway.  This ends Sunday, Dec 5th -plenty of time for it to get to you before Christmas if you want to give it as a gift or be a gift for you! Includes some quilting patterns for your use in your quilts!
