The greatest thing about my job is that I get to work on projects in advance of their release date to the world. The bad thing about that is sometimes I don’t have much to blog about. Of course, this is no excuse for my lack of posts. I am also lucky because I happen to have a neighbor across the hall from me that is kind enough to show me all the new books and patterns streaming in. So to win back my loyal readers and anyone else that is bored to death, I am going to do a book review for the next several days starting with Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie’s. Carrie’s newest book from That Patchwork Place has hit the stands. Carrie is such a talented wordsmith. Every project has a creative name and an entire story to go along with it. The wealth of information this one woman retains in her brain is amazing. Maybe she can come up with another word for amazing so all the dancers on dancing with the stars will have something else to say.
I would certainly want to be on her team during Trivia night.
Ruby by Bonnie and Camille is shipping to stores now so I thought I would show you the quilt made from a previous line of their fabrics. This quilt was made by an associate of mine Debbie Outlaw. (remember the chocolate cake in my birthday post?)
Not to brag but I also have a quilt in the book. (THANK YOU CARRIE!)
And I need to mention that Alicia Keys from Heirloom quilting did a super job quilting mine. Check out her work if you are looking for a machine quilter.
The best part of this is that I am going to give this book away to some who leaves a random comment. You must have a way for me to contact you. This will be short and sweet. I will draw the name by 6:00 am tomorrow morning. (Wednesday) A 24 hour giveaway.! Go for it and thanks for stopping by.
I would love to win this book! thank you for having this give away.
Thanks for sharing! I would love a chance to win the book.
What a great giveaway! And congrats on having a quilt in the book too 🙂
I really like that quilt on the book cover. Thanks for the giveaway!
Just got Carrie's new book, and wanted to say your quilt is beautiful! As for the book, I love everything about it. It's hard to believe she can come up with so many ways to use stacks of squares.
Have never made a Schnibbles but would like to try one!
Looks like a great book! 🙂
thanks for the chance!
I adored the first book and have made several quilts from it so I would love to own this book.
I would love to win this book! And I always enjoy your posts.
I would love to win this bit of awesomeness!!
I want to get my hands on this book so badly – it's going on my Christmas wishlist for sure (unless I get super lucky and win it!)
I have two of Carrie's books and would learn to have this one too! thanks for the review and the chance to win a copy.

I have the first Schnibbles book and love it!

I am addicted to Schnibbles! So far the addiction is only in acquiring the patterns, but soon I hope to actually start on one–if I could only decide which one.

I made a Schnibbles quilt for my niece. It was supposed to be 31" square, but, I made it HUGH! I needed a bed quilt, not a wall hanging. It was the first time I'd used charm squares. It was a fun quilt. Thanks.
I would love a chance to win this book.
I ordered this book and recieved it yesterday. Already I love this book,a lot of good information. The patterns are great. BUT I would love to win one to give as a Birthday present and pay it forward. Your pattern in it is my favorite, probably the first one I will make. Thanks
I am, like a lot of quilters, collecting Schnibbles patterns so this would be great to win!
Your blog is very interesting not ahem… boring!
It must be so frustrating to know about fun and great things and not be able to share.
I have the book on my "wish" list. 🙂
