Drumroll please...................
GE-504 Fast & Furious Holiday .......
The book is at the printer and we will have them before Quilt Market, hopefully around May 15th. The book has 16 projects, all done with the "Quilt as you go" method. There are projects fit for any holiday in the book, Valentines Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!
The cover winner this time are these fun stockings, made with Kate Spain's 12 Days of Christmas fabric for Moda. The fabric will be arriving in stores very soon!! They are so fast and fun to make using a Layer Cake pack along with some fabric for the back, lining and cuffs. I had lots of fun embellishing the Stockings with ric rac, trim & buttons.
Giveaway
I will be Introducing all the projects in the book with a week long celebration, starting tomorrow through Saturday. You can't have a celebration without a giveaway now can you? If you leave a comment on the posts, you have a chance to win a copy of the book when it comes back from the printer. The freshest one...first one out of the boxes!! And you can leave comments on each day (please do!!) to increase your chances of winning. If you want even more chances to win, spread the word on your blog and tell me about it....your name goes in the pot one more time.
I hope you like it.....more tomorrow!
I have ordered your new Book Fast and Furious in Ottawa, Ont. Canada, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I live in the next province but unfortunately our Quilting shops seem to be closing one after the other. I keep looking for the mail man impatiently.
Love to see your son walking the plank. It looks like he did a good job. Very handsome young man. A futur heart breaker. Hope all is well with the family. Regards, Colette Rowberry

I would also call your new book "A book for all seasons" to keep us busy through the year. Stockings, Easter eggs, etc. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Keep up the good work. Made quite a few table runners. The quilt as you sew kind. Love them.

Til hamingju með nýju bókina.
Mér líst mjög vel á það sem ég hef lesið mér til um hana og væri alveg til í að eiga eintak af henni í föndurbókahorninu mínu.
Posted by: Elín Dögg | May 04, 2010 at 07:31 PM
Sounds like a great book! I'm a reader to the core ... sometimes I just sit and re-read patterns rather than actually sewing.
Posted by: Sarah | May 04, 2010 at 07:13 PM
I would love to win a copy of this book. It looks wonderful!
