On Cloud Nine!…and a Give Away!

…that’s how I’m feeling the past few days since the files for “Feather Adventures! Volume I” has gone to the printer.  It’s official; it’s in the can and my feathers book is being printed as we speak!  This has been a monster of a job to put together but worth every second of toil and sweat because, if I do say so myself, the book is FABULOUS, simply FABULOUS!! Do you think I’m a bit biased?!  Yup!  I am, but I am over the top excited!  I don’t have an exact date yet, but expect both the Feathers book and the Hyperquilting book to be released simultaneously and I’m guessing it will be 3-4 weeks from now, possibly a bit sooner and possibly a bit later.  I can’t wait!

On top of that, it’s sunny and warming up and spring is really here!  Spring is my favorite time of year as it’s just so great to see the world around you spring back to life…

I feel like I’m exploding with excitement, just like all the colors in this quilt!  To celebrate, I’m offering a give away of one copy of the Feathers book and one copy of the Hyperquilting book!  To be eligible, all you need to do is to leave a comment on this post telling me why you’d like a copy of whichever one interests you, and I’ll draw the winner the day the books debut!  If you’re interested in a copy of both books,  please post 2 separate comments, as I’m going to divide these comments into 2 subsections when I do the final drawing. And now that I have a bit of time on my hands, I’m going to the sewing room to whip up something FUN!

    Here’s a 2nd comment so I can be included in both!!
    I would love either book feathers or hyper. I buy books all the time.
    I have been wishing for your DVDs but haven’t purchased because I just don’t watch DVDs (TV is my husband’s domain). So, he wouldn’t let me watch even if I did buy them. I’m so excited that you are doing some books!!!

    At first I didn’t think I’d be interested in the Hyperquilting book but the more I played and thought about it I thought, Yes, why not? So throw my name in the pot for that book also.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    I’m a fan of your website and check it often. I would love to win a copy of your Feathers book. I just finished quilting a Turning Twenty Again quilt using feather wreaths in the big squares and then filling in around them with the feather explosion pattern. I really enjoyed the speed and ease of these feathers and the fabulous results. I love looking at the back side of the quilt and just enjoying all those lovely, undulating feathers that sprawl so gracefully across my quilt. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a fun, generous, and gracious manner.

    To feather or not to feather,
    Now that is the question,
    Herein lies a suggestion,
    Perusing Feather Adventures,
    Might solve my predicament.
