Not the case for this book:
It is everything a quilting book should be. Inspirational. Informative. Creative. Approachable. The quilts are interesting to look at. The quilting is amazing. The photography is top notch.
With Jacquie's permission, here are a few photos from the book:
Now, why am I giving away this book you might be asking yourself? Because in my enthusiasm for getting this book, I inadvertently pre-ordered 2 on Amazon. Some how, I didn't notice that I had placed the order twice and, boom, in the mail comes 2 copies of the book. That's when I said to myself that I needed to have a give away and give my extra book to some lucky person who follows my blog or is willing to become a follower (come on, help me get into the double digits of followers!).
GiveAway is closed - winner to be announced shortly!
Between now and 6:00 p.m. PT on Monday, April 30, 2012, do this:
1. Become a follower on my blog AND
2. Leave a comment on my blog about why you would like to receive this book.
If you are already a follower, you only have to leave a comment. It's as simple as that. International followers/comments are welcome.
I'll pick a winner later on Monday and a winner will be annointed or chosen or selected...well, you get the idea. If you are a private follower, please provide your email address so I can contact you.
Good luck!
Aaaaanyway, that's it from the Robertson household.
Hi cakath! I'm a follower of your blog and want to thank you for the chance to win this fabulous book! I love doing Flickr swaps and would use this book for inspirational ideas for my Flickr friends. Jacquie makes such fabulous quilts, and is a visionary in the modern quilt world! I've been chomping at the bit to get a copy of this book! My broken arm is on the mend and I'm gearing up to do some serious sewing. Thanks again for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteQuite happy to become a follower of your lovely blog - the X and + pillow you made for your modern guild swap is fabulous. I would love to receive this book as it probably wont be released here for ages and it looks so inspiring! Thanks for the chance to win....
ReplyDeleteI would love to own this book because from the bits I've seen, inspiration radiates from the pages. I am a follower of your blog - but you already knew that! When I read your post tonight I had a moment of deja vu because Marianne at The Quilting Edge did the same thing and I started my day trying to win her extra copy and here I am at the end of my day trying to win yours. I promise that if I win them both, I'll pay it forward and give one away on my blog. Right after that, I'll go play the lottery!
ReplyDeleteI`ve been looking forward to reading this book - it looks great. I`d love to try something a little more modern, something new. Following your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThis book is on my amazon wish list! I would love to win. Looks like you made it to the double digit with your followers. I can't wait to see your blog grow. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOoh, when I don't win I am going to buy this for sure. I have been salivating over it. And I am now a follower.

ReplyDeleteI'd like to receive this book I think it is GREAT and I would improve my Quilting skill of course ^__*
I have this on my "must buy" list of quilting books. It would be great to win it! I still consider myself a newbie, so any inspiration I can get is soaked up like a sponge!

ReplyDeleteI used the blogger follow button in your header and selected public. Blogger tells me: You are now following Doodles and Designs http://californiadoodlesanddesigns.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to modern quilts and fabrics, and tried some blocks from QALs. It would be great to have a book with instructions that would give me some structure to attempt an entire modern quilt. Plus, Jacquie's blog was one of the first blogs I began reading. Thanks for the chance to win this book and have some modern inspiration at my fingertips.
I'd love to win this book because I've become somewhat turned of the number of boring quilt books that have been released of late. It's always good to get a recommendation for a good inspirational book. I look forward to seeing it in person whether I win or not :) thanks for the give away.
