Book Review and Giveaway

COMMENTS CLOSED winner chosen!!
THANKS

Have you seen this new book?
I was asked by DRG to review a few quilt books for them this week.
I've done this once before and I was really interested in these.
I will be giving away a couple of the books this week.

The first one up this week is Bed Runners &More.

It includes 9 patterns for bed runners and six pillow sham styles.
Overall there are projects for a beginner all the way to advanced.
There are step-by-step instructions and color photos of each design. 

My favorite project is the patriotic runner.


I can totally see myself making this....
I'm always searching for seasonal or holiday patterns that can be used year round.
You know IF I forget to put that season away LOL.
About the giveaway,
If you would like to win a copy of Bed Runners & More then please leave a comment below.
Giveaway ends March 10th.
Good Luck.!

  10. It would be neat to have this book right now. You don't see many bed runners and of course my sister pointed one out to me yesterday as "wow, that's a cool idea." I think she would like one. I just need some inspiration. Thanks for the opportunity.

  11. I love the idea of bed-runners. I never seem to have the time or energy with my 3 young girls to do a full bed sized quilt. I like the idea you have of having seasonal ones to switch out all year long. Now i need this book!! thanks.
