You like free stuff, right? I have some.


I don't do giveaways, mainly because I lack the organizational skills to manage this, but as a reward to everyone who reads my trash woes and how visits to the doctor's office go in order to get a rare glimpse into Leisure Arts or a mundane view of my disordered life...here goes. It is a very small pool so your odds are pretty good.

This is my collection of freebies from Quilt Market. It includes
  • a notepad- Anna Maria Horner
  • two patterns - Jackie Clark Designs (I won a door prize! Me! And there were 2 of each pattern included. I'm keeping one, you get one, we'll be pattern buddies!)
  • a free pattern - Amy Butler
  • October Quilter's World magazine
  • Still Crazy for Baby - Leisure Arts (win it before you can buy it...almost!)
  • an emergency sewing kit from Leisure Arts
  • a tote bag made from MaryJane Butters fabrics - Andover
To "enter to win", leave me a comment before November 7. You can comment on this post or any one of the posts next week. I'm sure they'll be fabulous. Tell your friends...tell strangers. Next week, if I get more than...20 comments...I'll keel over in shock. And after I pick myself up, I'll give away...my very own personal copies of each of the books I just sneak peeked (sneaked peeked? snuck peeked? showed you). Yep...20 comments or more...2 super free prizes. And if it's basically painless, I'll do it again.

C'mon people. You can do this. And as I'm totally lawless in some ways (and have my doubts about reaching 20 without them), I'm thinking Leisure Artsers are welcome to enter. (In fact, I may force them to. I have to throw my extreme power around in some manner or they'll ignore me in meetings. It happens.)

Sneak Peek: Still Crazy for Baby, Camera, Color, Quilts!, Spell It Out, Jolly Stuff

Since we haven't done this in a while, I thought you might like to see a little something that we've been hard at work on around here. First up: Still Crazy for Baby by Barb and Mary at Me and My Sister Designs. Barb and Mary signed advance copies of this at Quilt Market in Houston. They are a lot of fun to hang out with on a show floor. And they sent us some Halloween cookies that were e-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t...my compliments to the chef. Anyway, the details are: 4 quilt designs in multiple colorways. Fast, easy and so much fun! $10.95, available now.









 And also available now-ish is the newest from the Modern Crafter series, Jolly Stuff by Linda Lum DeBono. 14 fresh Christmas designs to deck your halls all for $11.95. The fund thing about this series is that it's Christmas with a color twist, very pretty photos and big variety of projects.

 We've also been doing a whole lotta the cross stitch lately. The newest of the new is from Joan Elliott. Spell It Out is a collection of 21 alphabets (including both upper and lower cases) on a variety of subjets. Pirates! And fairies. And dogs and cats and Christmas and harvest and...you get the idea. Full-color charts are included...all for the low, low price of $10.95. Come on, cross stitch with me. You know you want to! OK, wait until November when this one's available.

 And finally, our newest Pat Sloan book: Camera, Color, Quilts! In this publication, Pat's going to teach an easy way to choose colors for your next quilts. It was a big hit with the Sloanies in the booth at Quilt Market. I included the back cover for this one because I want to live in the inspiration photo with the table runner on my dining table. 6 quilt designs, $12.95, available November-ish.
