Whew, I think summer's finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest! Today it's a balmy 32 C or about 90 F. On days like these, when I was younger I'd slather myself up with baby oil and do nothing but lie in the sun for hours. My backyard bikini days are long gone (for which I'm sure my neighbours are all profoundly grateful) and these days I'm quite content to stay inside where it's relatively cool and keep working at my projects.
Okay, first things, first! Congratulations to Chris from Alabama, who won the book giveaway on Week 1 and to Pauline from Texas who won last week! Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to comment. And now on to Week 3!
Today we're heading back across the continent to my home town of Abbotsford, BC.
It was several years ago and I was at my local quilt shop when I overheard someone ask the clerk, "Do you have any Cheryl Wall patterns?" I turned around and said, "Do you mean me?" I'd never met Kimberly before and she didn't know me either but she'd already made several of my patterns and was wanting to make more.
If you haven't yet been to Kimberly's blog, "
My Brown Bag Studio", you're in for a treat. She's an amazing quilter, crafter, and mom. She sells her creations on Etsy and every year she hosts a wonderful Christmas Open House with her sister. We've also rented booths at the same local craft shows. Isn't it great how quilting introduces us to people we'd likely never meet, from across the world and sometimes from just across town?
Anyway, if you're one of my followers, hop over to Kimberly's blog and leave a comment there to have a chance to win a copy of my book. She's set up the giveaway so that you can have up to 3 chances to win!
If you've left comments on the two previous posts, don't feel you have to come up with something new to say each time, unless you want to! You can repeat yourself if that's easier. This blog tour will run for several more weeks so just keep checking back for the next location and leave another comment and hopefully one of these times, it will be your turn to win.
Good luck!
