You Can Quilt! Building Skills For Beginners Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY

Hello!
This week five bloggers will be reviewing and making blocks from You Can Quilt!  I am so excited!

First up is Lee from Freshly Pieced.  When I first started the You Can Do It! Skill Builder Sampler Quilt-Along (the precursor to You Can Quilt!) back in 2011 I had about 50 followers, one of which was Lee (who had a much wider readership).  She posted about the quilt along and made the first few blocks.  The quilt along would never have taken off nor this book been written without that initial jump start.  Head on over and see what she has to say about You Can Quilt!.

This week I will be posting behind-the-scenes photos from when we were writing You Can Quilt!  Stop back and feel free to ask any questions about the book writing process.

As part of this blog hop we are giving away a hard copy of You Can Quilt! and a bundle of fabrics provided by Moda.  These are some of the same fabrics that I used in the book!  They vary in size, but there are over 2 yards total.  You must have a US mailing address to be eligible for this package.

But never fear!  We have a second prize for those living outside the US.  Our publisher, AQS, has all their books available as e-books and they will send an e-book of You Can Quilt! to an "international" winner.

You have 3 chances to win:

1.  Leave a comment here and let us know where you live.  This will allow us to send you the correct prize and it will be fun to see where everyone is from.  I love our world wide quilting community!

2.  Follow me on Instagram.  I just joined last week and it is awesome!  I am still figuring out the ropes and need to find some like-minded quilting people to follow.  Come back here and leave a second comment saying that you follow me.

3.  Follow my co-author Marlene on Facebook.  She owns a small quilt shop in Washington State and does beautiful longarm quilting for her customers.  Lots of eye-candy.  Leave a third comment saying that you follow Marlene on Facebook.

The giveaway closes Saturday, November 21st at midnight (Central Time) and we will randomly select a winner on Sunday morning.
