Mini Book Review and Giveaway
Starts TODAY!!
I am honored to be included in Moose on the Porch’s Book review and giveaway.
Konda has done it again with Simply Charming- Mini’s.
With fun quilt names like
Fire and Rain
Death by Triangles
Criss Cross Applesauce
In love with Minis ( Quilt not skirts!)
Flying around in Circles
and 12 more designs,
you will find a project to wet your quilting appetite.
Each of the quilts are shown in 2 color options to
encourage endless color layouts.
The directions are black and white with fairly big print
(my eyes aren’t what they use to be)
in step by step directions.
SO I GOT TO THINKING!
On Pinterest I saw this picture from greylustergirl.blogspot.com. She basically framed her thread rack.
I have always dreamed of a wall of pictures like this but that got me to thinking, what about a wall of mini quilts? How fun would that be? I guess this would cost a bit more than new wallpaper but it wouldn’t be near as fun as making a wall of Minis!

And then as the wall of minis grows, it could be a hallway of minis with studio lighting.
How great would that be?
Konda is kind enough to have offered a book for the giveaway. So leave a comment about what you could do with mini quilts and I will draw a winner at random on the 31st.
Today hop on over to Emily’s blog to read more.

This looks like a really cute book with fun projects!!! I am excited to see more… thanks for sharingand the quilt along too!
I love the idea of a mini-quilt along. Sign me right up. Thanks for the giveaway too.
I just love minis. You can tuck them here and hang them there. Anywhere you need a little pop put a mini.
I love making minis. It's easy and simple. Great for gifts too.
I like the idea of a wall of mini quilts and that is what I would do with them since I have a couple walls I still need to do something with. It would be a fun project and I would enjoy picking the patterns and fabrics plus the sewing.
I love making minis for holiday decorating…and gift giving!
I would try framing the minis and changing them out for the different seasons. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the book.
A wall of mini quilt would be great
I would love a wall of minis!
Thanks for the chance to win the book!
First I could go over the book a hundred times then I would get busy people really do appreciate a gift of this sort just showing up in their mail or when they visit for no reason other than just because you thought of them. Thank-you for the give away chance
I would love to make a wall of minis in my sewing room up high around the border edge, inspiration every time I look up while I'm working.

I planned to have a chair rail going around my sewing room with mini's atop….hmmm….but a whole wall–even better!!
That would be great presents for a little girl, a grannie, etc. Congratulations with the book. I would like to win it. Greetings Lia van den Brand from Holland
I really need to get in on this mini-quilt action. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love your Idea of a Mini gallery, down a hall or were ever!!! Thank you for the chance to win!! Love it!!
I would love to have a wall of mini quilts on my sewing room wall. Thanks for the giveaway.
i would put up a clothesline on my bedroom wall and hang up all my mini quilts so i could see them every day! thank you for this opportunity!
The hallway leading to the bedrooms and bath in my home has family pictures lining both sides but it would be awesome to break up pictures with some mini quilts. I had already been thinking of doing just that. Great minds think alike I guess. I don't have near the amount of family pictures as those you've shown. Wow. That is A LOT of pictures lining those walls.
Love your idea for the wall of minis!! I display mini quilts on the inside of my front door! It's metal and I use large magnets in pockets on the back of the quilt to display them! I would love to make some more!!
My kitchen is covered in minis and I love it! My bedroom needs some quilts though!Looks like a fun book!!
When Hubbie and I first got married (way way back in the 80's) we started a wedding wall up along the stairs. For several years we had great fun adding pictures of friends and family as they got married. Everyone loved to come round and see their picture in our gallery. And as we all started having babies and they grew up they loved to find Mummy and Daddy in the gallery. Sadly as the years have passed and some couples have grown apart and separated, gaps have appeared so it would be lovely to fill the gaps with mini quilts 🙂
i would make minis to put on the wall of me sewing room
I like mini's for my table.

Love making and receiving mini quilts. great way to try out a pattern or new technique! I use them for gifts, doll qults, and wall art. Never thought about a wall of minis but could be a possibility!

I love minis on the wall especially in the sewing room but I also like to use them as table toppers. I love the look of this book. Thanks for the chance to win.
sounds exciting! minis are so much fun. :]
I have just the wall for the minis, visable as you come in the door. I am always looking for somerhing for that wall.
I have a wall that I couldn't decide what to do with. Minis would be super. I'd like to win the book!
I love changing my mini quilts with the seasons, so that's what I'd do with many mini's!!
I have some mini quilts, and I'd like to make an exhibition some day. Thank you for the chance to win.tubakk@online.no
I love mini's~ on end tables, rolled in baskets, they are so fun! Thanks for the chance!
I love minis! Instant Gratification (almost)
I have a new house with loads of empty wall space that I would cover with minis.
I would love to display a mini in little nooks here and there as a surprise pop of color. Thanks for the chance to win.
When I first started quilting I swore I'd have quilts tucked here and there. Years later I've succeeded and so many more to make with plenty of wall space too! My husband says I have enough. WHAT?! You can NEVER have enough mini quilts!
I love mini quilts. I'm so excited about this book, thanks for the chance to win. I want to join the mini quilt along too.
I woud use them for mugrugs or doilies. Thanks
Wow, that looks like a great book…I wish I had stairs…mini quilts would look soooo goood there!2
I enjoy mini quilts and I have about 5 differneet places in my home where they can be displayed easily. Jane
Great minds and all that. I am doing exactly what you are planning. I have 4 ready to hang but need to do some wall work in my studio before I hang minis. I am putting up the old cotton clothes line and round wood pins. Cute, don't ya think? Thanks
I love mini's and have some that I rotate on the walls. I like the idea of more on the walls.
I have several places I rotate mini quilts through. In my studio I have a Victorian clothes dryer I hang them on as well.
