quilted bags & gifts ~ a giveaway

I'm really happy about this news.  Akemi Shibata's book is finally available in English and I happen to have a spare copy to give away.  Zakkaworkshop kindly asked me to help as one of the English editors and I'm really proud to have been involved in bringing this lovely book to the English-speaking part of the world.  It has so many beautiful and fun projects.  I've already made two (including the coolest bag I've ever made ;) and I plan to make more cute things.

Ok.  To enter this giveaway, just leave a comment here stating your favourite season. That's it!

Happy Sunday, all!

PS:  Zakkaworkshop - along with selling the book in their online shop - will also be selling all the cool hardware that is used in this book.  I'll let you know when!

Hi Kristyne,
For someone who lives in the sunshine state, my favorite season is Fall!
I love travelling during fall and winter for a change of weather and colors!
Thank you!

Summer! It's hot you can eat ice cream and fresh friuts and don't need a lot of clothes! Although the weather out there has to improve a lot to have even a chance to be called summer:-( (It's raining ... all day long ... and the next day it's the same:-(

Since I live in South Florida, my favorite season is Winter! I love the "cold" and I'm such a beige girl that the homespun fabrics and lovely bag patterns all play into the coziness of a crisp cold day! Thank you for the opportunity to add this anticipated book to my Japanese book library, they are so beautiful!
