Two draws for Modern Bee quilt book

October 20, 2013 by Scarlett Burroughs Leave a Comment

Thanks so much for all your great comments on the Modern Bee quilt book giveaway. After reading each one, I know you are all my peeps. The majority of us – though we love to sew and quilt with friends – when it gets down to getting the job done, alone is best. In short, groups motivate and inspire, while flying solo allows focused attention on our projects. Further, whether we sew in silence or stitch to music, TV, audio books or movies, alone gets us to a blissful state of contentment.

Now, back to the giveaway winners. Yes, you heard right, it’s plural. Not only is the publisher (Stash Books) of Lindsay Conner’s new book, Modern Bee: 13 Quilts to Make with Friends, giving away a copy to my first draw, I have decided to give away my review copy, also provided by Stash. That’s two draws and two winners!

Drum roll please…..allowing Random.org to do the choosing, winner number 1 is commenter 74, Jodie, who wrote,

While it’s nice to join in with friends I find I don’t actually get much done. We talk too much! Quilting by myself means that I can get the job done.

My second draw is commenter 76, Kylie, who said,

I like to sew alone. Its my time to relax and get lost in what I’m doing. I let my imagination do my best work.

Congratulations to the winners! You will get an email from me to wrap things up.

Thanks to all who entered, and do stay tuned for future Craft Gossip giveaways!

Book Review – The Christmas Boutique

If you’re anything like me and addicted to the Elm Creek Quilts series, “The Christmas Boutique” by Jennifer Chiaverini is a must-read for the holiday season. As the 21st book in this captivating series, it seamlessly blends tradition, community, and the magic of Christmas into a heartwarming tale that’s impossible to put down.

From the moment I opened the pages of “The Christmas Boutique,” I was transported into a world filled with twinkling lights, festive decorations, and the comforting aroma of freshly baked goods. Jennifer Chiaverini expertly captures the essence of the holiday season, enveloping readers in a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like coming home.

One of the things I love most about the Elm Creek Quilts series is the richly drawn characters, and “The Christmas Boutique” is no exception. From Sylvia’s unwavering determination to Sarah’s endearing worries as a first-time mother, each character feels like a dear friend whose joys and struggles I’ve shared throughout the series.

As the Elm Creek Quilters come together to save the Christmas Boutique fundraiser, they reflect on their favorite quilts, each one a tapestry of memories woven from holidays past. Jennifer Chiaverini skillfully intertwines these stories, drawing readers deeper into the lives of these beloved characters and reminding us of the power of community and tradition.

Reading “The Christmas Boutique” felt like reconnecting with old friends and being enveloped in the warmth of their camaraderie and shared experiences. With its heartfelt narrative and timeless themes, this book is not just a story – it’s a journey of joy, hope, and the true meaning of Christmas.
