Modern Quilts & More Book Giveaway!

orangezest1
Okay, so this first picture is for Kimberly - only for you friend!  My hair is crazy today!

Anyway, I am so excited to share with you Kimberly Einmo's new book, Modern Quilts & More recently published by AQS Publishing. I have known for a long time that the quilt Orange Zest, the one I quilted for Kimberly was going to be on the cover of the book. Yay! So, today I received the book in the mail and I can not tell you how excited I was!  Best mail day in a long time!!

orangezest2
Perfect timing on all parts, I actually have Orange Zest in my possession to show off at the HMQS show next week.  So, I was so thrilled to take pictures of the book and quilt together.  Now I can finally share this quilt I quilted forever ago.

orangezest3
Kimberly has outdone herself and the quilts in this book are fabulous!  You will love this new book, I am sure of it.  You can purchase a signed copy of the book from Kimberly here.

orangezest4
I have to tell you that I still pinch myself to think that I get to share my quilting with so many people and to be on the cover of Kimberly's book is nothing short of an honor that I am so grateful for.

orangezest5
I also have to give a shout out to the Editor's at AQS for making this book fantastic, the layout is beautiful!  Of course I am thrilled and maybe a little bias ;-) towards them since my own book was released in December, but they really do a wonderful job when it comes to their publishing.

orangezest6
So, what do you think of the quilting?  I absolutely love it.  It was so fun to quilt up.

orangezest7
Look on page 32 and you will find this fabulous quilt.

orangezest8
Yep, my name above.  Never gets old.

orangezest9
And, a special treat - I talk about my quilting on page 37.

orangezest10
Oh, and it's always fun to see my book in the back.

orangezest11
You can see a few more of Kimberly's fun projects on the back cover.  Aren't the projects fabulous?

orangezest12
 One more shot of the quilting. I absolutely love this quilt and I am so happy to finally be able to share it with you.  One of you lucky readers will get a chance to win one of Kimberly's books, signed by her of course - just leave one comment telling me how excited you are for this book and I will pick a winner in the next couple of days.

Good luck!

One more thing - Stephanie is hosting the Supernova Friendship Block Swap here - and she is giving away a copy of my book and a gift certificate to our website.  Lots of places to win today! Be sure to check that out after leaving a comment here for Kimberly's book.

    All I can say is WOW!!!! I thought the fire and ice quilt was awesome....but all I can say is this is amazing! I bet I looked at a dozen different stores to find the magazine with fire and ice in it...but I will have to have this one. Orange is my absolute favorite color in the world. This quilt, orange zest will be my new favorite. I have already made it my new wallpaper. Fire and ice has been my wallpaper for the last 6 months! You both do amazing work.

    Dear Judi

    Well done! It is stunning!!! You have a gift and you use it. I have an idea for a quilt competition. Some of us can only window shop, as we can not afford to get a quilt, quilted by you. Life happens. It would be fantastic, if you ran a competition where you choose one quilt, one of your choice, we all submit a photograph of a quilt that we would like you to quilt. As a added bonus, in order to enter a photo, we all pay a fee, $1-00 - $?. A portion to cover your time quilting the winning entry, batting, ect. (You get to show us all the finished quilt on your blog) and the rest a donation to the wonderful work you and your hubby do for charity in Romania? What do you think?
    No one else is doing anything like this.
