Hey, hey, it's Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! Yay!
It's Sunday night, and I'm sitting on the sofa flipping back and forth between Oprah with Gayle and Paula Deen fishing for catfish in their pajamas in Paula's front yard pond and the Billboard Music Awards. Both are worth a good chuckle and are making writing this post take a lot longer than necessary! :)
Today's been a good day- sparkly sunshine, a family walk to the coffee shop, playtime with the kids, washed the cars and had time to browse online pics from Quilt Market. Love the eye candy!
I also had a chance to work on a few new blocks for a special project that I can't wait to show you! Here's a sneak peek.
It's also the 7th day of the Summer Sewing Contest Inspirational Blog Hop.
After you enter my giveaway, be sure to pop over to Lots of Pink Here to check out what Amy has whipped up for summer sewing.

great giveaway. the rafflecopter thing doesn't seem to be working though
It's not working for me either !
No widget (and I clicked through to the post itself - FYI).
No rafflecopter that I can see :) I sure love that zipper pouch!
No Rafflecopter for me either. Love the threads.
I couldn't get the Rafflecopter to work, either :(
However, that little pouch is just gorgeous! I'm going to have to go and see if I can still find any of that fabric in that colorway.

I too love my Kindle! I haven't started reading it yet, byt there's huge buzz about "50 Shades of Grey"!
I really love my Kindle! and I thought The Hand That First Held Mine was a great novel.
I am a follower in my Google Reader. And to follow up with the changes, I'm not sure what you should read next... it really depends on what you like. I love romance so I tend to read light reads like that. In the fall, I read The Help, so if you haven't read that, I would recommend it. Some books that I have sitting around just waiting to be read... The Forgotten Garden, The Devil in the White City, The Alchemyst (a young adult book, but still...)

The Book Thief is one of my all time favorite books.
Love the pouch!
Something from Joanne Harris. Or some portuguese literature, like Miguel Sousa Tavares :)
I think everyone should read Orfan by Corrie Skolnick. A captivating read.

I don't like telling people what to read next, I have weird taste. :) I plan on reading The Phantom of the Opera for the billionth time, so that would be my suggestion but I know not everyone likes to read that type of thing! Thanks for the giveaway!
If you haven't already read it The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel by Deborah Moggach

You should read Rules Of Civility by Amor Towles. Such beautiful writing and really makes it easy to imagine 1937 New York.
I love that pouch!!! You should read Room, it is really interesting!
Read Mink River, I think the author is Brian Doyle. Takes place in a coastal town in Oregon. Great characters and sense of place.
I am really enjoying my Kindle. I just finished Swan Song bt Robert McCammon
I recommend you not read what I typically read on my ipad and that is anatomy and physiology e-textbook. I haven't been doing much reading for fun lately, hopefully others will be more helpful. ;)

My favorite recommendation is We Band of Angels by Elizabeth M. Norman. Absolutely true story of our first Army and Navy nurses stationed in The Philippines for R & R before WWII breaks out. I love the Goodreads app for book reviews.
I would suggest that you read State of Wonder by Ann Patchett. I just read it and found it to be a really interesting and engrossing novel!

Books? Like Water for Chocolate is one of my favorites. I'm going to start Little Bee to see if I want to teach that in the fall. The Time Traveler's Wife is not linear--it jumps around in time--and I really loved that book. The protagonist is completely flawed and completely lovable. That's a hard mix to write!
Yes, I'm a follwoer!♥♥
What a great giveaway. I love my kindle.The last 3 book I have read are the messenger by Siri, the good girls guide to great sex and Kisses from Katie. I really enjoyed all of them

I just finished up (for the second time) The River of Doubt by Candice Millard. It's the story of Teddy Roosevelt's trip down the River of Doubt in the Amazon. I'm not usually crazy about nonfiction, but it's a great book once you get into it (it's a bit slow starting out).
I'm a follower.
My favorite series is the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris (what the HBO True Blood is based off of) so I highly suggest those. Or maybe books the HBO show Game of Thrones is based off is more your style.
I am reading a book called Maine...haven't really read enough to be sure if I am going to recommend it, but so far so good : )
I follow!
I follow your blog on google reader.

Pride & prejudice is my all time favorite - and since it's a classic you should be able to get it free!

I haven't read it yet but have heard 50 Shades of Gray is pretty good :) My favorite series is the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Good if you like fantasy/magic/wizards. Thanks!!
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck is well worth a read. If you prefer a fun gory space opera, I was recently super amused by Leviathan Wakes by James Corey.
I'm a follower and have been enjoying it very much
My favorite book of all time is The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. It's not at all the genre you might guess from the title. It's a love story in the form of a fictional memoir, with several stories embedded in one.
I am a follower (in a reader).
I have to agree with some of the ones I saw posted: Swan Song, Hunger Games Trilogy, and definitely The Book Thief!! I love getting book recommendations, so great question!
I follow you in my google reader. Thanks!
I read a lot of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. Right now I'm reading Lover Reborn by JR Ward. The whole series is over the top ridiculous, but very readable.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Well, after having kids I pretty much never get time to read. I don't have a kindle, either. When I used to read, I loved all books by Beverly Lewis. My cousin and I enjoyed reading her Abram's Daughters Series together (years ago).
I have been following your blog for awhile. I really enjoyed the Across the Sea QAL - hoping you do something similar again soon :)

My mom just read the Steven Tyler bio and said it was pretty good.
This might be a little past the time, but I lovvvved The Help. Haven't completely finished anything since then, not to mention, most people wouldn't want to read them! (ie book on Cardinal Dolan, book on moral theology, blah blah...lol)
I'm also a follower already :)
I really love the whole series of The Ladies #1 Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith! I'd start at the beginning-they are a fast & pleasant read!
I always love the old classics . . . and as a bonus, they're free! Thanks for the chance. That zippy pouch is adorable!

The Count of Monte Cristo is a good read.
I am a happy follower.
I loved reading through the comments about books! I second the recommendations for the Sue Grafton series (she's gotten better as she's made her way through the alphabet), the Sookie Stackhouse books are good--I think the series has run its course, though. Also LOVED The Hunger Games trilogy, even though dystopian stuff isn't normally my type of thing. I have friends who won't read it because they think it's like Twilight. I loved it--it isn't--and I admit I'm a Twihard, too. Ahem. The best book that I've read recently is Julie Orringer's "The Invisible Bridge". SOOOOOO good. Last summer's best read was "Someone Knows My Name" by Lawrence Hill. I could go on... join Good Reads if you aren't on it yet, it's fantastic.
I've just read a few of the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. Action packed mysteries - if you like that sort of thing.
I am a follower. Thanks for a chance to win your great giveaway.
Not sure on the book recommendation! I have been re-reading old Agatha Cristie books. Super light reading, but fun!
seemommysew @gmailDOTcom
Lovely goodies! So many good books out there! I'd have to know more about what you like but here are a few:
The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg (very bloody)
Water for Elephants (Starts slow)
Ape house both by Sara Gruen
Almost anything by Jodi Picoult
Thank you for the giveaway!
I am not sure you want a recommendation from me, I only read trashy chick lit ;-).
Great giveaway thanks!!

I am also a follower already, so I hope that still counts for my extra chance.
As for what to read next on your new Kindle, I love the Cobbled Court series by Marie Bostwick...quilting and reading all at the same time...add your own chocolate and life doesn't get any better!
Hugs,

I would say reach an old classic again. Something you loved before you might have a whole new take on now. :)

For reading...I recommend "A Night To Remember" about the Titanic. It is fascinating!
Good timing, because I just finished reading the first books I've read for pleasure in years (I'm an English teacher, so I usually have to read a ton for work!) Anyway, it's the Fablehaven series. I forget the author's name. It's technically for kids, and I'm in the middle of the second one reading aloud to my kids, but they're so good I had to zoom on ahead on my own. There are five in the series. Thanks! gabengayle(at)cox(dot)net
