… look what Postman Pat just brought me
24 copies of my book. I am so excited - could you tell?
To celebrate, I have decided to keep the giveaway for a $50 gift certificate from 1Choice4Quilting open until the end of this week, so I will close it at midnight on Friday 22 July and announce the winner on Saturday. To enter the giveaway you need to go to 1Choice4Quilting and choose the four fabrics you would use to make the quilt on the cover and then leave a comment here, telling me which four you would choose.
Congratulations! Very exciting indeed.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty they all look - so super cool! Congratulations again.
ReplyDeleteSo that's your activity for the rest of the day sorted - stack the books, hug self, stroke the books, grin broadly and do a little dance, re-arrange the books.

YEAY!!!! If you are giving a prize for the best comment then Hazel wins. Just what I would have said if I was as clever as her.
Well done m'dear, and it was brill to chat with you earlier (before the books arrived, or I suspect our conversation would have been a little different).☺
Even if I don't win I'm sooooo excited for you and your new book!!!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhh!!! I am sooooooo excited for you!! I can't STAND it!!!!
ReplyDeleteMega exciting, you're going to be doing a happy dance all day LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove it - I'll just list one batch of 4 fabrics that I would pick to go with that new book from the strawberry fields line - strawberry blooms pink, then the green polka dot, then floral berry flowers yellow, then add the moda bella solid - betty's pink. Yahoo! Summer cool fun! kwiley(AT)comcast(DOT)net
ReplyDeleteI think I love the Grace line of fabric...that would make a lovely quilt from the new book :)
ReplyDeleteso exciting; congrats!
ReplyDeletefour fabrics? I've been wanting to make a solid fabric quilt so I would have to get some Bella solids and I would choose kansas red, grey, snow and black. thanx for the chance!
congrats...and I am sew excited for you...and this is appealing to me...since I usually do make my quilts in 4 colors...I love scrap quilts but I also like the simplicity of 4 colors..for me it will be red and whites...and turquoise and bit of yellow..
ReplyDeleteI got my copy today and did a post. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat title - "Pick Four"! There were so many to choose from but Strawberry Fields, Grand Finale, Flurry and New Orgins Aromatherapy in brown or onyx pulled me in! Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI'm so poor at picking out fabrics, but I've been wanting to do something with Pure for a while now, so perhaps Pure Simple Natural, Pure Argyle Splash, Bella Solids Earth and Bella Solids Bunny Hill Blue.
ReplyDeleteI think I would pick Kate Spain's Flurry Frost Gumdrop, Flurry Gllitter Crimson, Flurry Glitter Evergreen and Moda Bella Ivory. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your book! How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt on the cover of your book and would do it in Amelia Lavender, Baby Pink (it's more light lavender/purple on my screen), Feather, and Baby Yellow.
I would like some of the blues and pinks of the Dogwood Trail collection - not sure if I can buy individual fabrics or if I have to buy a Layer Cake.
ReplyDeletePicking out the fabric for a quilt is the hardest yet fun part about making one. I would pick the fabric from the Grace By 3 Sisters line, Christmas Natural, Paisley Roses, Chirstmas Brown and Grace Evergreen. Thanks for entering in your drawing!
ReplyDeleteHey Sue!
ReplyDeleteBig Congrats!!
ttfn :) Yuki
Looks like a great book! I would go for 4 of the prints from the new Amelia collection from Moda. Love the colors and the prints.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting - and very colorful books. I would have to go with the Bella Solids and I would really want periwinkle, coral, lime green and a cream for background. One day - I will get to use these colors. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity and giveaway. Judy C in NC
ReplyDeleteI think I would use Strawberry fields line. I would use the floral red, lt green polka dots, floral berry flowers yellow, not sure the 4th color=either a solid or strawberry blooms red.
ReplyDeleteFor the center diamonds, I would use The Amelia Lavender and Pink, then for the other sections Spirit Solace Daisy and Strawberry Fields Floral Berry Flowers Yellow.
