Ooh, I've been wanting this one. Thanks for the giveaway!
I can't wait to see this book. I've just started quilting this past December and I am really enjoying exploring the different types of styles of quilt making. I haven't found my niche just yet but I like the smaller projects as I am always so anxious to see the outcome and just can't wait months and months to see what it will look like in the end. :) I really love the table runners and quilts you have been making lately.
This book looks absolutely delightful!
Thank you for the opportunity to win one!
=-)

I'll say it again, your "Work Quilts" are AMAZING!
Love your contribution and all your work quilts. I wish I had the dedication you do! The Grasshopper quilt is so fun.

I have also seen this in a few places, and am anxiously waiting for it to come out. In about a month here in Australia which is a little frustrating because I am no so patient! I have seen a few samples on different blogs and all the quilts look great!
I would be very happy to win this book, I love your work and mini quilts also. Hugs from France.
I had pretty much abandoned quilting for knitting and spinning over the past five years - I blame you and Mrs Schmenkman for enticing me back into the fold!

Mini quilts is a fun idea for a quilt book. This will help new quilters get a feel for quilting without being overwhelmed!
I really like the grasshopper quilt you made; such a cute idea.
I have just stumbled across your blog via Lazy Gal blog and Wow, am I ever glad I did. I am loving your series of quilts that appear to be what quilts were originally all about .... at least in the early days of the US. You have really inspired me to head in this direction. Thanks so much for that and keep on quilting!!
I would love to win this book! Thanks for hostessing the giveaway, Denise
I would love to win this book.
Your hand stitching is wonderful. It has inspired me as a machine quilter to try this skill. I hope someday my work will look half as gorgeous as yours does.

Oh, my fingers (and toes) are crossed. What a wonderful Mother's Day present. Since my mom has Alzheimers and we are moving her into an Assisted Living facility, I would imagine my Mother's Day will be not so great this year.
