A Great Book Giveaway!

Do you like to read?
Love quilting?

Have you read the Elm Creek Quilts novels? They're stories about women, families and relationships all interwoven with quilting and history.  They are quite entertaining.

I've read several of them and have really enjoyed them so imagine my delight when I was asked if I would be interested in sharing a copy with y'all.

I've just stared reading my copy of Jennifer Chiaverini's newest book, The Wedding Quilt and am really enjoying it. Who doesn't love a wedding, especially when it's interwoven with a good story and a quilt!

Here's an excerpt of the synopsis from the publisher:

Sarah McClure arrived at Elm Creek Manor as a newlywed, never suspecting that her quilting lesson with master quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson would inspire the successful and enduring business Elm Creek Quilts, whose members have nurtured a circle of friendship spanning generations.  


The Wedding Quilt opens as the wedding day of Sarah's daughter Caroline approaches. Sarah's thoughts are filled with brides of Elm Creek Manor past and present-the traditions they honored, the legacies they bequeathed, and the wedding quilts that contain their stories in every stitch.


So who wants to win a copy? I have one to share with you so to enter, simply leave a comment below.

For an extra chance share this giveaway on your blog, Facebook or Twitter.
Be sure to leave an email so I can get in touch with you!

Sorry, this giveaway is for US residents only. 
I'll choose a winner via random.org on Friday, November 18.
This giveaway is now closed. 

Have a great day!

Kara said...

I LOVE the Elm Creek Quilt stories-I've read them all except this one. This is actually great timing, as I went to the library today to pick it up, only to find that I'm 68th in their list of people waiting to check it out. And they only have two copies. At this rate, it's going to take at least three years before I get to read it. I told my husband I was just going to go buy a copy and then donate it to the library so others wouldn't have to wait so long!

karonb said...

Love those books. Always wanted to go to quilt camp!
