We have closed this giveaway, winners announced here. My copy of Simplify: Quilts for the Modern Home came in the mail this week. Author Camille Roskelley extols the virtues of the quilting life but keeps it simple for modern lives. Underpinning her home-beautiful through patchwork mantra is the frequent use of fabric pre-cuts as design roadmaps. It’s a great book, especially for anyone hesitant to start quilting.
I’m giving away a copy of Simplify. Leave a comment by Nov 12, 2010 to get a chance to win!
Editor’s Note: International entries allowed. I’m enjoying all your comments!
I want this book!
This is cool, I want to try my luck and win this fabulous quilting book. I love sewing, patchwork and quilting. I simply buy the idea of the word “SIMPLIFY” on the cover of the book.
Oh fantastic! I love Camille! I really need to simplify – I often try to do things in a complicated manner, and it either doesn’t get finished or doesn’t even get started! This book would be perfect for me.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!
I’m a beginner at quilting. I’d love to win this book! Thanks.
What a lovely offer! I would be thrilled to have even half the talent some of my grandmothers, great aunts and even great grandmothers had for making these. Thank you for the chance!
What a wonderful inspiration this would be! I’m just getting back into quilting and looking forward to doing it properly once I have a cataract removed and can SEE again!
I have been learning the wonders of pre-cuts after sewing for 40+ years!
Thanks for the chance to win.
Quilting always seemed so complicated to me – maybe this book could tame down the apprehension so I could try it out!

Just a quilting beginner but am so so excited to learn and create such beautiful, useful items 🙂 have been hoarding fat quarters of pretty material for years and now it’s time to actually use them! Thanks for the competition…great idea!

I’d love to win a copy. I love Camille’s idea of using pre-cuts to make quilting quicker and easier. I also think she could be the cutest thing on the www these days!
I’ve started making a quilt yesterday and I just realized that it’s not as simple as I tought… I’d love to read this book!
Thank you for the wonderful website – I learned a lot of things because of you!
I would LOVE to win a copy of her book, I follow her, and your blog, and think that book would be a perfect before Christmas surprise! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m an intermediate quilter, and love her fabrics. I’m sure the book would be fabulous to work with. thanks for the chance!
Wonderful book to giveaway! Even though I’ve been quilting for a few years, I enjoy reading “how to” quilt information. I always learn something new.
I would love to win this giveaway. please do add my name for the draw.
it was my new year resolution for 2010 to learn quilting…Everything came on my favour and i joined a handquilting class…enjoyed every bit of it. I finished my first hand quilted table runner. I tried to learn machine quilting my self and made 2 wall hanging…Now i would love to learn crazy quilting and the real machine quilting.
Thank you so much for this giveaway
I’d love to win a copy of this book! I guess I’d be an intermediate beginner…lol. I’ve made a few lap quilts/wall hangings, but always choose fairly easy patterns. Time for me to spread my wings a bit and try something a bit more difficult.
I would love to win! I have been quilting for almost a year!
Looks like a wonderful book! I have quilted since I was young but stopped for the last couple years and am catching up on all the new techniques!
I would love to learn how to quilt!
My fondest memory as a child is when I used to sit next to my grandmother at the sewing machine. One day I asked her why she always used different colors and patterns of material when she made her quilts, and she simply answered by saying that each quilt is special in its own little way. She went on to tell me that she never decided which member of the family she was giving it to until it was finished, because you never know the personality of the quilt until it tells you (by looking at it) just who it is best suited for. I would love to learn to quilt so someday I might be lucky enough to start a tradition with a grand daughter of my own someday! I hope you pick me to win,I am anxious to learn. Thank you.

Real nice giveaway.
Thanks,
Karrie,
Thanks so much for sharing your memory. Just beautiful.
I recently found this site and love it! I am a enthusiastic beginner quilter.
OH! I think I might be your 100th commenter! I do not quilt. I have been scared to get started and the scariest part is when I think about the binding! Silly, huh. Thank you for entering me in the contest.
