Give-away #3!

I totally forgot to post the give-away for the third book!  It is called "Fresh From the Clothesline" by Darlene Zimmermann.   The quilts are all shown in pastels and 30's prints, but the designs are nice and she has helpful information about quilts with scalloped or wavy edges.

If you'd like a chance at this book, please post a comment here.  I'll pick a winner on Saturday.

I love the 30's fabric and would love to have a book with small projects.

I always think about doing scalloped edges on my quilts, but when it comes time to do them, I totally space it out. Thanks for the giveaway

Oooh, this looks interesting. My aunt is getting married this summer and she loves the vintage look. This'll probably have fantastic ideas of what to make her. I've always wanted to try a scalloped edge quilt too.

I'm always looking for patterns that look good in the 30's prints plus Darlene Zimmerman invented a couple of my favorite rulers so count me in.

I've never tired of 30's prints and think Diane Zimmerman is wonderful. I would love to get this book!

In my early quilting beginnings, 30's were what I collected..I've got a nice little stash of them waiting for the perfect project. Would like to see within these pages and dream.

The theme for our guild show this year is Making Memories with an emphasis on '30s fabric...Raffle quilt, challenge quilt etc. So this gift would work in beautifully!!!
