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!

Fall...

[Michele]

Spring. Love when things start growing and I can start planning the vegetable garden.

[Jackie P]

Fall is my favorite season of the year, hands down! I just love the crisp cool air. Fall festivals, crisp apples, crunchy leaves and beautiful pumpkins everywhere. I love the scents, sounds and colors of the season. Halloween is my favorite holiday for decorating my home and garden. Autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year.

[Rosebud]

Summer would be my choice. I love to hear the birds singing through open windows, children outside playing their games with friends, people taking a leisurely stroll in the cool of the evening, sunsets, the smell of roses, wisteria and Sweet Woodruff, a summer storm washing away the dry and renewing everything. Yes, I think summer is probably my choice for favorite season.

And thank you for the chance to win the book. It looks lovely.

[Lorinda]

Picking a favorite season is hard! But if I had to, I would say fall. It makes me nostalgic remembering back-to-school, Halloween and the excitement of the coming holidays.
