I have never done a giveaway here on my blog, but thought that today ... the day that my book Stash Happy Applique (Lark Books) is officially out and about in the book stores, was the perfect day to start a giveaway! Right?
So here it is ... a copy of my book, and this adorable house pillow! So fun don't you think?
The book is packed with super cute applique items from wearable, home decor and gifty things as well.
Check out these happy woodsy Gnomes ... so cute don't you think?
Anyways ... here's what you need to do if you want to win that house pillow and a copy of my book. Starting right now ... Tuesday April 3rd, leave me a comment here on my blog, anything really ... I love funny animal stories, and then on Monday April 9th I'll pick the winners name randomly from a basket!
Good Luck ... Oh and if you'd like to purchase the book, you can find it here.














WOW! congrats on some awesome projects and looks like such a great book...would love to win!!!!! got to go and get out my mary janes.....

I'd give the book a really good home! A funny animal story? Hmm....you mean like when my cat steals my chair every night when get up from dinner to pour milk for the kids? She isn't after my food either. I guess she likes the warm chair or it just a bratty kitty. The kids think it is really funny because she bites me if I try to get my chair back! Of course, I could give the kids their milk at the same time as their food, but then they drink their milk and won't eat. If I wait for them to eat most of their food first it seems to work out better.

Cynthia, I would love to get the book and... the pillow, oh, it's so beautiful. You know I'm a big fan of yours. If I do win, you won't have to send them to Brazil, as I can provide a friend's address in the US. I will keep my fingers crossed!!!

Boy, do I have a stash of fabric from my quilting days. It sits in boxes organized by color. I'd love to put it to use in some new projects. I don't have a funny animal story but my jumbo sized orange tabby, Calvin, is sitting next to me meowing as I type this. He thinks he'd like me to win (or he's hungry)! Thanks for the chance.

this is a wonderful giveaway for your first one! thanks for the opportunity to win your beautiful new book. Do you know if the magazine "Stitch Craft Create" will have a new issue -- or was it a one time only magazine?
