GIVEAWAY now CLOSED.
Thank you!
Simply Charming Minis is the newest of several books by my friend
Konda Luckau of Moose On the Porch Quilts.
You may have some of her other quilt books in your library such as
Big Block Quilts, Simply Charming Seasons or Simply Charming Circles.
I have them all!
In this new book she makes them all
small.
13"- 21"
and they can all be made with scraps or charm packs.
I don't know about you, but I sooo many charm packs that it's embarrassing.
I NEED to use some.
Like you, I always wonder what a quilt will look like in different colors or theme.
Check out some of the pictures here....
Konda thinks the same as all of us!
Each project is shown in 2 colorways.
Konda was sweet enough to give me a copy of her book to pass on to one of my readers.
and just to sweeten' the loot I am going to include a charm pack of Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.
Leave a comment telling me how many charm packs you have in your stash.
I will randomly select a winner on June 15th.
Good morning, what a great idea for a book! Small quilts make for a nice break from the larger ones. About those charm packs, I am certain I have 2 of them still in tact and just saw them yesterday. I believe I have another one that I tour apart as I was going to use them in a baby quilt and never did. Have a great day and thanks!
ReplyDeletecharm packs or carm squares? LOL! I have about a dozen packs and a 2 foot tall stack of squares. I love them, they are like candy!
ReplyDeleteOoooh what a lovely idea! Like that book! As for the charmpacks... shall we say... too many ? :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I have about 15 charm packs. I just love them and the book looks great. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like my kind of book! I love to make small projects as "in-betweens". Like when I'm quilting a larger quilt and itching to start a new one. I have a dozen charm packs and this sounds perfect to start cutting into them. Thanks for the giveaway. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLike you I have many charm packs. I can't resist them! It;s time to use some of them and this book looks perfect for that.

ReplyDeleteI love little quilts! These allow me to change my decor frequently. I currently have 6 charm packs.
ReplyDeleteI've only got about 5 charm packs in my stash,but all are so beautiful I don't want to break them open!! I need a book with some little quilts to make me set them free!
ReplyDeleteI really like what I'm seeing in this book! I probably have 6 or 7 charm packs.... and possibly a few "hidden" in my stash! Thanks for the opportunity to win this book!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's hard to admit that I have 45 charm packs (I just counted). Am I embarrassed? Am I worried about compulsive hoarding? NOPE!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
Cheery wave from Bev

ReplyDeletePaulette
Eeek! I only have one charm pack!! I was thinking about using it to make some placemats but if I win this book I might get some other ideas - thanks for the chance!!

ReplyDeleteI am charmless right now, so I really need to win your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sewing!
I am sorry to say I don;t have any charm packs because I wasn't sure what to do with them but our local quilt shop has lots of beautiful choices. It will be something to look into.
ReplyDeleteLet's just round the number to 20. Although I think I have more... ;-) I could use this book to help whittle down that number! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI have about a half dozen packs here already and just ordered a new one of Summersville. This book would be really handy for me, huh? Thx for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting looking book! I have less than 6 charm packs right now; I have been sewing with them -- love to use them for smaller quilts!
ReplyDeleteI have at least 15 charm packs, probably more that are hidden in other places. This looks like a great book to use up some of them! Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you :) I LOVE charm packs don't have any in my stash as I use them up as soon as I get them. Warm Hugs Pam
ReplyDeleteI only have 9 charm packs in my stash. I was relieved to see that number was lower than I thought. I have used a few lately and that is always a GREAT feeling!
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing a giveaway!
I can't bear to make myself go in and count them. I'm sure I have at least 25 to 30, but I love them! They're so much fun to look at and sew with.
ReplyDeleteMaybe around 40. Plus, there's always a few that don't get used when making a project, the left-overs are in a basket that runneth over, probably 200 or so individual 5" squares in the scrap basket. That being said, I would like to say this looks like a great book. I love mini quilts.
ReplyDeleteTwo things I love together: minis and charm packs. I have about 25 right now, but would love one more. Thanks for the chance to win. The book looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't have any charm packs, but probably about a half a dozen whole or partial jelly rolls hanging around.
ReplyDeleteCharm packs... charm packs... I have a hometown, little gatherings, santorini, ruby, and a mini charm pack in antique fair. They all look lovely as they patiently wait for me to pay a little attention to them!
ReplyDeleteMaybe 10 packs of charms, but probably not too many matching.
ReplyDeleteI have 8 charm packs and would love, love, love to win this book! Thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteI currently have about a dozen charm packs so I am really in need of a inspiration to help me use them! ( and more charm packs would be nice too!!)
ReplyDeleteThe official count is lucky number 13 and I love them all.
ReplyDeleteI have about 7 charm packs and a stack of charm squares too. I also love mini quilts! What a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great book...my charm stash is embarrassing too!! Let's just say there are quite a few.
ReplyDeleteI recently whittled away at my stash and have only one charm pack left!
ReplyDeleteI have at least 40 charm packs so I can really use this book. Thanks for the giveaway!!

ReplyDeleteFour charms packs in my stashso I`d use them with this great book!
ReplyDeleteummmm....I have a whole bunch of charm packs. I buy two of each collection that I can't live without because Miss Rosie's Schnibbles patterns each require 2 charm packs, and I'm addicted to Schnibbles, among other things.
ReplyDeleteI think I have 5 packs, last time I looked, lol.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of making quilts with them and love mini quilts, fun to do and great gifts. I was looking at the new ruler for marking and sewing, so that would be perfect with charms.

ReplyDeleteTHANKS SO FOR SHARING!
msstitcher1214@yahoo.com
I only have about 6 because I have been turning them into beautiful "Schnibbles" creations. I would be willing to purchase a few more to make the quilts in this book, though. ;-)))
ReplyDeleteOoooo, what a lovely new book :)
ReplyDeleteI have 7 charm packs in stash & another 4 which I guess are in stash but they are all bagged up with other fabric ready for particular projects :)
Vickie, I only have 2 right now. I do not get the opportunity to buy them often and when I do, I use them right away. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI have about 10 mini charm packs and I would love to have a book showing me how to use them. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a ton of charm packs right now. I have had more in the past but made some scrappy skirts for my daughters with quite a few of them. I think I have around six or so right now. Thank you for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have 1 charm pack in tact in my stash however I like to cut my scraps into 5" squares so techically I have charms coming out of everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI have NO charm packs in my possession. They have all been used in projects. However, I do have 2 layer cakes. Thanks for the giveaway. Kathie L in Allentown
ReplyDeleteHave two small charm packs (about 20 charms total) so would be wonderful to win some to use for the great book projects! Thanks for the chance. Just stopped by to read your blog and was surprised to see your giveaway. Very nice of you to do this.
ReplyDeleteWhen I buy charm packs, I usually get 5 of the same fabric line. So I probably have about 35 packs right now. I love Konda's books. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I'm glad I read some of the comments so I don't feel so ashamed. I have about 12 charm packs, and then a big stack of charms I cut from my scraps or got from swaps. I love Konda's style. I don't have any of her books, but I did really like her block she designed in that 100 Quilt Blocks magazine.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks like so much fun! I'm embarrassed to say I don't have any charm packs in my stash, I never bought any of them. I did buy what I thought was a charm pack from someone on ebay a couple of years ago, but it turned out to have only four fabrics, with 10 squares of each. If that counts, I have about 3/4 of it left. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think I only have a couple of charm packs and a couple of layer cakes. But they are always SO tempting. The book looks very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteTHanks for sharing!
I have about 10 charm packs, thanks for the give a way
ReplyDeleteHmm....well, I know for sure I have 5 but I suspect there are others lurking somewhere. Thanks for the opportunity, I have one of Konda's combo books and love it!
ReplyDeleteI have five sets of charm packs in my stash plus a box of Moda's mini charm squares which I won as a door prize. I would love to win this book for ideas to use up my charms packs. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 charm packs, all with projects in mind. Who knows how many left overs from charm packs I have...that's a whole different issue!
ReplyDeleteI have about 10 charm packs and would enjoy making mini quilts. This is amazing idea for a book!
ReplyDeleteI have charm squares and 2 charm packs. The book looks so interesting.

h_freund@hotmail.com
That looks like a fantastic book. I know I have at least 20 and quite likely more than 30 charm packs (with another one on order, I'm afraid to count!), so the book would find a good home with me!
ReplyDeletei have been cutting my scraps into squares for months...so i have squillions of charms squares...and probably 20 charm packs...i love having a bit of every collection i love.
ReplyDeleteI think I only have 4-5 charm packs in my stash but I could be wrong since I keep finding all sorts of things I don't recall having bought.....or finding duplicates of things.....
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I only have one in my stash currently. I tend to buy them with a specific project in mind and usually buy yards or fat quarters for my stash. This book looks really fun.
ReplyDeleteI had 10 charm packs in my stash, but I gave two away to my DIL. She is learning how to quilt and these are perfect. Great looking book, minis are a favourite of mine and charm packs are perfect. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteJust 2 charm packs but might buy more if I win this book!
ReplyDeleteUsually very few on hand, because I buy with a project in mind. I think I have 2 right now.

ReplyDeleteI only have 2 or 3 charm packs in my stash, but I'm always looking for ways to use them, a book would be great inspiration. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI think I would feel more successful with quilting if I did smaller quilts like this book talks about. I have made abt 10 regular sizedquilts, but would love to do so many more. There are lots of quilts waiting to come to fruition from my brain!! I only have4 charm packs in my "stash". But lots of cut pieces of fabrics of different lengths and varieties. I would LOVE to win this book and the charm pack. thank you
