It is that fun time of year when people all over the world of quilty blogs meet at Sew Mama Sew for giveaways!
I think this is a fun event because I get to find people I’ve never “met” before, and see their inspiring quilts and sewing projects. It also happens to bring new friends to my blog, so that’s fun, too.
I have two giveaways today. The first relates to a recent project here at Fabrics & Flowers, and that is “Quilters’ Book Club”. I just posted the last month (for this year) and am getting ready to start a quilt with the blocks I made.
Read more about Book Club Here.
For one winner in the United States, I have this book, “Blended Quilt Backgrounds”,
This book is full of fun quilts where the emphasis is on both the primary piecing as well as using creative color in the “background”. Here is an example of one of the projects. The quilt is made with only one block, but by varying the color placement, it takes on a whole new look!
If you are visiting from outside the United States, you have a chance to win a pdf copy of the pattern, “Twirling Fans” by Color Girl (which happens to be me!)
You can find my other patterns in my shop on Craftsy.
To enter the drawing: leave a comment here and tell me where in the world you are (so I know which drawing to put you in) and what is your favorite quilting or crafting book.
I will draw a winner on May 16.
Thanks for Visiting, good luck in all the giveaways!

I’m a newish quilter living in the UK and have just bought Amy Smart’s “Fabulously Fast Quilts”. I’m just about to follow a pattern on my own for the first time. I need to push myself to try new things and your Twirling Fans pattern would do that. Thanks for the chance to win
I live in Michigan, 40 miles from Lake Michigan. My favorite book is the last one I purchased, until I purchase that new favorite book. Isn’t that how it goes?

My favorite is a quilting book I have had for a few years. I lent it out so can’t be sure of the name. But it gives you everything you need to know about quilting from a to z including free motion quilting, piecing, pp, applique and more. One of the rare books that combines it all. A perfect reference. I live in Greenville, SC
