Quilting ISN’T Funny… It’s Hilarious
Megan Dougherty (a.k.a. the Bitchy Stitcher) interviewed me WAAAY way back in July of 2011 on Light Up Quilting for a new little website called Generation Q. But before that she was the humor columnist for Quilter’s Home, you know, the magazine that had an issue come polybagged and that a major store refused to carry? Megan’s sense of humor, and this style of guerrilla quilt reporting appealed to my sensibilities. THESE WERE MY KIND OF PEOPLE.
If you have ever tried to explain to a non-quilter that your hobby/profession/passion is “quilting” (“No, really, I’m a ‘quilter'”) then you know the kind of comedy that can ensue.
Megan has written a great book full of her humor pieces from magazines and a few new ones too. It’s really great. I laughed out loud, and got that look from my husband of “what the hell are you reading, I hope it’s not smut again”. It’s like she wrote this just for me, with quilt guild minutes that seem like she was in the room during my quilt guild presidency, and how quilting will be essential during the upcoming zombie apocalypse. She takes the stuffiness I have all too often run into in quilting and turned it on it’s head. I loved it.
In honor of Megan’s fabulous book, WHICH YOU SHOULD GO BUY RIGHT THIS INSTANT, I am giving away a Red DELUXE LED Sewing Kit. And then you can flip to page 132 and make your very own Black Sabbath quilt that lights up. Or you know, just make the zombie version in the kit. Your choice.
To win, here’s the rules:
1. Think hard about going and buying Megan’s book. Really it’s great and you won’t regret it. Go HERE.
2.Please only enter one time. Multiple entries will be disqualified. (Comments are moderated, so you won’t see your entry online right away)
3. You must leave me a way to contact you, so please leave your valid email address when leaving a comment.
4. The drawing will be open until Dec 26th at 5:00 PM CST.
5. The winner will be chosen randomly the evening of Dec 26th. Check back to see if you are the winner!

GIVEAWAY TIME! Sew Embellished by Cheryl Lynch
Well, hello there!
I am so honored to be the final stop on the blog tour for Cheryl Lynch‘s amazing book, Sew Embellished! The book is full of great mixed media techniques, and projects to try out. I loved the tree project on the cover, and mine is half finished before I had to run off to San Diego Comic Con. If you like eye candy quilts, the back of the book has lots of samples to drool over. Be sure to check out her blog for some really cool stuff too.
One of the things I hear from folks who ask me about my little quilts is how I come up with each design, followed by some sort of “I could never do that” type of phrase. If you want to try making a small, artistic quilt to cherish, this is definitely the book for you to try the projects out and get your feet wet!
So, want to win a signed copy of this book????
