Friday Give-Away – The Quilt Ladies Collection
November 20th, 2009
Congratulations to #43 Cindy for winning last week’s give-away of a fat quarter pack and the glass beaded fob from Patchkat’s Bayou Blossom Creations.
This week’s give-away is brought to you by Beth Strub author of The Quilt Ladies book collection.
In The Quilt Ladies books, five very different women come together. As Mary Alice moves into a new community she understands the meaning of loneliness.
The series continues as you meet all the Ladies that form Mary Alice’s new family. As you move through the series you will read along as they quilt, start a business, buy property, their daily lives, new and old love and a wedding.
Each book continues the story and has complete quilt instructions for the quilt the ladies are making in that book. There are twelve books in the series to date.
The give-away includes the Books 1-2-3 set where you will meet all five of The Quilt Ladies. Two lucky winners will be randomly chosen. One from here, by leaving a comment below, and another winner will be chosen from those that subscribe to the newsletter on The Quilt Ladies web site.
UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Congrats to #40 Barbara G. for winning the books.
Reminder: Please submit your family-favourite recipes for the Quilter’s Cookbook this week.

Suzanne’s latest post: The great stuff you find in fabric piles
I’ve always been an avid reader. What a joy for a chance to win something that would combine two of my loves. Thanks for the opportunity!
I love to read and reading a book with quilting in it sounds like heaven!
This sounds like something I would love to read, since I moved 20 years ago from the city to a small country town, and still am very lonely
Next to fabric what is better than books about quilts/quilters?
This sounds like a wonderful series to read. Hopefully I’ll be one of the lucky winners!
if you can’t read a quilting pattern, a quilting book is the next best thing.

My sewing room is not available due to remodeling of our house, it is currently being used as a storage room. Until then I can only read quilt books. This give away sounds like a cool idea. Thanks
Love a good read, please count me in, I’ve also blogged about your giveaway today, have a good weekend Michele.

First time I’ve heard of these, would make great reading. Having moved around I really get this meaning of loneliness. Best thing to do is get involved or start something new yourself. What a good idea!!

I am such a voracious reader and I love books about women and quilting, family, etc. I would love to win this set of books. If I win, I will read them all and promise to donate them thereafter to my local quilt guild, which numbers nearly 200 women. This would be a great gift to all of us! Thank you so much for offering this giveaway. I’ll be checking back!
I am reading all the time…why haven’t I heard about these books before now…. they will make great gifts for all my quilty friends too! I sure would love to win them!
Yea! More quilt-themed books. Would be fun to win!
