Christmas Giveaway #4

This is the fourth giveaway in my month of Christmas giving, thanks to me and C&T Publishing!

I'll be giving away two copies of Stress Free Sewing Solutions by Barbara Emodi this week for those interested in sewing clothing. 

Back in my days of garment sewing, I would have appreciated this book for all of it's easy-to-read information for sewing neckbands, facings, (dreaded) zippers,

v-necks and sleeves.

I'd say just about every issue encountered in garment sewing is covered, and in a more simple manner, perfect for those with limited time to sew. This book is a must have addition to the sewing library!

Interested in stitching up your own clothing? Then enter to win one of two copies of Stress Free Sewing Solutions using the Rafflecopter form below. Giveaway is for two continental US residents only - sorry, no international, Alaska or Hawaii at this time.

Happy Holidays and welcome to Midweek Makers - let's do some sharing! 

My share is another beach scene quilt row, with this one being more ocean than beach. I love this row for it's rolling waves, plus the details of a red sailboat, windsurfer, surfboard, and hammock. It just oozes fun in the sun!

From last week's giveaway, let's congratulate Aby, who won the O Tannenbaum Christmas Quilt book. I also enjoyed reading the answers to the entry questions, as now I have a great list of new authors to explore! Be sure to enter giveaway #3, ending tomorrow night, with Giveaway #4 coming this Friday.

Now onto shares from last week. Grace and Peace Quilting finished a lovely project with a few quilt friends, each contributing a block like this.

Alycia Quilts shared this strings quilt, with HST's thrown in for a fascinating design,

and Donnaleeq shared a cross quilt.

Given that's Christmas is just a few days away, I'm certain everyone is busy finishing those last minute projects, baking, and traveling to get together with family and friends. If you have something to share - great! If not, we'll see you in January!

Christmas Giveaway #2

This is the second giveaway in my month of Christmas giving, thanks to me and C&T Publishing!

The selection this week is the Christmas themed fiction book, The Tannenbaum Christmas Quilt by Ann Hazelwood. 

This is the third book in the Door County Quilts series, of which there are currently five. Time to get reading!

I personally have not read this book, though it promises adventure, quilts, romance and more. It also features facets of a German Christmas, which would be fun to learn about. Certainly sounds like a book to curl up to in front of the fireplace!

Want to win this 350+ page bit of quilty pleasure? Just enter via Rafflecopter below. Giveaway is for continental US residents only - sorry, no international, Alaska or Hawaii at this time. Giveaway is open now until midnight December 15th. Good luck!

 Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Time to start sharing the rows for my beach quilt! To make things more fun, I'm spreading out the shares over the next four weeks, with the rows in no particular order. That way, the finish will be an even greater surprise!

Here's the house row, with some color and house designs changed since I last posted about the houses. Change happens when reality doesn't quite meet up with what the computer designed!

Overall, I'm happy with the changes, as the yellow house looks great with a red door. Who new?

Now for some real-life finishes from last week!

Melva Loves Scraps shared this beautiful row quilt,

My Quilts and Crafts made ornaments from quilt blocks,

and a modern baby quilt made by Grace and Peace Quilting.

And it's time for this week's Midweek Makers - what do you have to share?
