Welcome to my blog! Please leave a comment, telling me what your favorite sewing book or novel is to receive a chance to receive these four brand new Saltwater fat quarters, designed by Tula Pink. There is something about the "tulatroops" that just amazes me, avid fans of her fabrics are dedicated and put other designer groupies to shame. When I saw these at an LQS a few months ago, I knew they'd make someone very happy. I used bits and pieces of her Prince Charming and Saltwater collections to make the City Sampler recently:
International entries are welcome. Followers of my blog, old and new, are welcome to leave a second comment for a new entry. To give you an idea of what kinds of projects I share here, here's a small sampling:
Good luck! Comments will be allowed for this giveaway from now through December 15 until 6 pm MST. A winner will be chosen randomly that evening and will be notified via email. Please make sure you are not a "no reply blogger" so that I can contact you.

Your work is amazing! I'm a new quilter and am so inspired by your sampler, the basket and all the other beautiful things in your collage! My favorite novel is An Episode of Sparrows by Rumer Godden, a very old book that I first read in the 60's, when I was a teen and have re-read once or twice. It was made into a film, The Innocents, which I'd like to view someday.
Love the city sampler - looks awesome!!! Reading the OUtlander series...mumbird3(at)gmail(dot)com
Love the coat you made!
It has seemed like forever since I have been able to read a book. I truly miss it but I do get out my Kaffe Fassett quilt books occasionally just for a bit of eye candy. Thanks!
WOW, what beautiful projects! I love to read...raising 5 kids doesn't leave me much time to read these days, It's hard enough to find time to sew all the things that I want. That being said, the Princess Bride may be my most favourite book ever. My oldest daughter just finished reading it for the first time, and I think that I will have to make time this Christmas vacation to read it again.
I am currently working on a Tula Pink quilt for my mom featuring the blues of Saltwater! I don't think I have a favorite book....I love looking through all sorts of different books to get creative inspiration though!
Picking a favorite book is like trying to pick a favorite fabric. I just like them! One my favorite picture books is The Marshmallow Incident.
I have a couple books with classic block patterns. I'd love to do a modern sampler someday though!
I have to favorite books, Reader's digest Complete Guide to Sewing and their complete Guide to Needlecrafts. Love these books.
I'm re-reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
I've been one of those quiet followers for some time. Love your blog.
It is too hard to pick a favorite book as I have a few and love them all.

My favorite book...anything by Jodi Piccoult.
My favourite book ever is a non-fiction book written by Victoria Finlay titled "Colour: Travels Through The Paintbox"
I love your Tula quilt :-)
I reach for my Material Obsession books whenever I need inspiration.
I can never pick a favorite book but the novel Heading Out to Wonderful is my favorite of the last half dozen novels I read.
I've enjoyed the Elm Creek series about quilting. I like the historical ones the best.
My favorite novel is Gone With the Wind.
My favorite novel Redeeming Love, so good!!
My favorite book is The Giver. Not exactly for adults, but still great :). Any chance you would share the name of the quilt shop where you found these fat quarters? I desperately need more for a project I'm working on.
I love the novel Alice's Tulips by Sandra Dallas. It's beautiful.
We can't seem to get Tula fabrics in this neck of the woods...I wonder why? I simply adore the first one since I am collecting fabrics with hexies on them. I think my fav quilting books would be the Elm Creek Quilters series.
i like the white House Chef mysteries by Julie Hyzy - fun, quick reads and recipes.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer is a wonderful book.
Guilty as charged! Joined the Tulatroops all the way!! I love your question as I really need something new to read!
The book that I go back to over and over again is Angela Walters Free Motion Quilting book. It not only has fantastic ideas (showing you how to make said motifs, too), but they are wonderful jumping off points, as well.
And yup, that's me an "old" follower!
Carol Doak's 50 paper pieced stars are very impressive and versatile, so I think I will put her down as my favourite sewing book.
i love the block bible, thanks
Love the fox print I just bought some so now i will have to make something love the clutch/pouch

Picking a favorite book is really hard. Right now I am reading everything I have by Elizabeth Goudge; she was an English author who wrote mostly from the 30's through the 60's.
My list of favorite sewing books is really long so I'll recommend a book (non-fiction) that was interesting and funny: "In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson.
My favorite sewing book? I have been sewing a lot of projects out of the Oliver and S book Little Things to Sew--but I would love to get a hold of some Japanese sewing books soon!

For quilting, I'm enjoying quilter's mixology. For fiction, there are just too many wonderful authors to pick a favourite.
My favourite sewing book would have to be Sewing Clothes That Kids Love - I've made up almost every pattern in that book!
I love the novel I'm reading now.

I love Tula Pink fabrics! I am not reading much right now, but I am looking at magazines!
I recently purchased Carolyn Friedlander's book, "Savor Each Stitch." I think it gives a different perspective than many quilt books which tell you how to replicate a specific pattern in one particular way.
