Book Reviews and Giveaway

My sewing has been slow with nothing to show, so I thought I'd jump ahead and do a giveaway.
Mary Pomponio, publicity manager at Plume books contacted me recently about reviewing "The Giving Quilt". Many of you may have already read this, but on April 1st you can get it in paperback!  She also mailed along several lovely quilt pins.
I have 3 paperbacks and will pass mine along when I am finished reading it. I'm about 1/2 way through. I think I have only read one other Elm Creek Novel and I really liked it. This is an easy, fun read that any quilter would enjoy. 

"At Elm Creek Manor, the circle of quilters is hard at work preparing for “Quiltsgiving.” Held annually the week after Thanksgiving, expert and novice quilters from near and far gather for a special winter session of quilt camp to make pieces for Project Linus. As the week unfolds, the quilters respond to the question, “Why do you give?” in ways as varied as the life experiences that drew them to Elm Creek Manor. Each of the quilters, including a librarian, a teacher, a college student, and a quilt shop clerk, uses her unique talents to teach, inspire, and give back to her fellow campers."
 
Leave a comment to be entered to win a book or a pin...or both! I'll draw on April 5. 

This Giveaway is now closed. Thank you for entering!!


This book came at the right time. I finished two other books that I liked a lot but that weren't what I would consider fun and easy, but I  highly recommend.


The Lifeboat; A Novel by Charlotte Rogan 


 The Language of Flowers: A Novel by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

    I LOVED both of the other books that you mentioned and am thinking of The Lifeboat for our book discussion group. You might like "The Last Runaway" by Tracey Chevalier. I would like to win the giveaway book and promise to give it away again when I finish reading it. Thank you for the opportunity!

    Can't resist this one! I hadn't seen this book in the series before so excited about this. I got the "Wedding Quilt" from my cousin for Xmas (actually, she had bought me "The Union Quilters" but I'd already read that so I exchanged it).

    Would also love to win a pin. I have a small collection of them but don't get too many opportunities to add to it. Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!

    (J. Chiaverini's books are not published in Belgium and we've got to order them through the Web)...
    Oh, and those pins are SO lovely, too ;>)
    So I definitely can't do without trying my luck on this beautiful give-away - crossing my fingers (AND toes!)-

I couldn't remember the name of the Creek either and didn't want to say "you know the story about the quilt?" like there is gazillion of them out there! And everytime someone would mention the book was always when I had no pen or paper to write it down. But I so would like to read this book. Oh please Lori, pick me. Have a great Easter!

    Hope you're inspired enough to get back to your quilting which I know you love. I've read two of Jennifer's books and loved them and passed them on. I'd love to win this one. Thanks for the opportunity.

    I really would love to read this series... I keep lookin' it over when I stop by the bookstore but don't know what would be a good starting point with this series... Everyone tells me great things about the author but no loan copies yet... Any suggestions?

      This is not a series you need to read in order. Pick one and start reading!

    I'm currently reading The New Year's Quilt and have several of her older books. They are an easy read and delightful for summer days sitting out in the sun

    O Lori, I was reading some of her books 3 years ago when I lived in VA,USA from the libery. Back home in Holland I had the change to read some others from a quiltfriend. But the one you showed I never seen before. And who knows, dreams can come though! At least I think/hope so...Greetings from me

    I love all of these books. My Aunt just started giving them to me for gifts, so it would be great to add this one. And a pin! Wow!
