i love giveaway day. mostly because i usually win! i have scored some fabulous stuff and made a few friends along the way - what's not to love!
because i am trying to do the craft book challenge at liesl made, i've been perusing my bookshelves to find projects to tackle. and i realized i have more craft books than i will ever use. what's the craft book challenge, you ask?
well, choose a title from your library of books, languishing on your shelves. make a project. any project, small or large. post completed project. link up at liesl made.
easy, right? and a good kick in the pants to actually start making something, instead of spending all day getting "inspired". ahem.
so one lucky winner will receive a copy of the book jelly roll inspirations by pam lintott. i have several of her books, and they are wonderful!
why yes, it is a strange angle for a picture. it was the only way i could keep the reflection off the book, since i waited until night to take pics :)
it's a great book with 12 different quilt patterns. my favorite thing about it is that for each quilt pattern, there are two quilt variations shown. i love seeing them made up in different fabrics. and the fabric choices are yummy too.
those are two of my favorite patterns in the book. to enter to win, just leave me a comment. know any good jokes? i could use some giggles. here's my kid's go to joke:
why was the dog sweating?
because he was a hot dog!
or tell me your favorite quilt book. or just say hi. make sure i can contact you if you win! us shipping only! contest ends may 25th at 9pm! ships by may 30th! random number generator will choose the winner!
thanks for entering - i'd love it if you'd follow me but it's not required. have fun entering all the contests! i'm sitting this one out, because i have a history of winning. a lot. like, an insane amount. and i'm feeling like it's y'alls turn to win some good loot. so good luck! and come join the craft book challenge! or have fun looking at the flickr group!
update - do you know how HARD it is to NOT enter?!! my facebook is blowing up with contests and i am holding strong - for now...

I'd love a chance to win! Thanks!!!!
Oh boy would I love to win this lovely fabric -- this is not a joke!!!
I would be thrilled with this book because I have a tendency to sit all day getting inspired lol. I love books and it is so hard to put them down. It doesn't even matter what kind of book it is.
I'd love to win your book! :) Thanks for the chance.
Tammie - I love the idea of that craft book challenge! I should get in on that. There are so many projects I've been meaning to get around to . . .
I wish I had a joke to share. But like you, I'm up way too late and should be in bed. No brains left tonight, my dear.
P.S. Thanks for sitting this one out. I WOULD LOVE to win some. ;)
I so need this book, I have a jelly roll and I don't know what to do with it!
As for as a joke, um, I have nothing, but it is kinda late ;)
This is my favorite joke;
A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved.
The parents were at their wits end not knowing what to do about their sons' behavior. Then the mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so she asked her husband if he thought they should send the boys to speak with the clergyman.
The husband said, "We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!"
The clergyman agreed to speak with the boys. He asked to see them individually.
The 8-year-old went to meet him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD? With that, the boy bolted from the room and ran directly home, slamming his door and hiding himself in his closet.
His older brother followed him into the closet saying, "What happened?"
The younger brother replied, "We are in B I G trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!"
Thanks for the chance :D
Jokes? The only ones I know are pirate jokes and they all end in arrrrgh!
Okay, pass your winning mojo on to me, girl! I've never done the SMS thing before. And I loooooove quilt books!
I would love that book! gougeonathome@charter.net (Allison)

I would love to win this. I think I'm funny.. but yet can't seem to think of any jokes. :)

What's a pirate's favorite socks?
.

ARRRgyle.
Pirate jokes are the best/worst.
I so wish I had a joke to share. I'll bet I think of one as soon as I hit the publish button. < Big sigh.>
My dad used to tell this joke to people who came over for dinner:
One night we were sitting around the table eating bear; then someone knocked on the door and we had to get dressed.
He would just drop it casually into conversation. He's kind of crazy (it's genetic).
I'd love this book!
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow! Thanks for such a great giveaway :) I hope I win!!
I wore two different shoes out of the house this morning. That had me laughing when I looked down.

If you are EverReady, I'm Frito Lay. It's the only joke I know
Love the book! Now, if I can just win the book and a jellyroll.....grin. I am following you too. I think I may look into the craftbook challenge, and perhaps start using my blog while I'm at it...
One thing missing from my sewing room? A sewing book!! I would love to start with this one!!

you lucky devil, I never win~ Peach rainbow, thats the most marvelous joke ever. i'll be retelling it all week.
This looks like a wonderful book! I'm in the process of cutting my scraps into jelly rolls, so this book would be great
Why do gorillas have such big nostrils? Because they have big fingers!
I'm terrible at jokes...and someone already used my favorite pirate joke.

Great gift - I love jelly rolls!
My favorite quilt book is "200 quilting tips, techniques & trade secrets" by Susan Briscoe, though it is more of a tips book then actual quilts. I also LOVE "the practical guide to patchwork" by Elizabeth Hartman
What a nice giveaway prize! It is on my most wanted list! (I will be back to see what project you decide to do...)
i've had this book in my hands several times to buy but just didn't feel like i had the money those days. i would LOVE to win it. i love the colours of the quilts in the book.
great giveaway, maybe now that you are sitting out I can win something.
Hi, I would love this book. Thanks.
jessica (at) homfamily (dot) com
Like you, I've been lucky in giveaways here lately. So I have plenty of fabric and need this book to figure out what to do with some of it. I need some quick and easy quilt patterns. So hopefully I'll win. Thanks for the opportunity.
This book looks like a lot of fun! I have a jellyroll or two I'm not really sure what to do with. . . I imagine this would help!
I have wondered what to do with a jellyroll; this book would be a wonderful resource. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.

:) Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I love "The Practical Guide to Patchwork" by Elizabeth Hartman. Thanks for the chance to win!
I've repeated this story many times, even a few times on blogs so I hope you haven't heard it. A little boy of about 6 or 7 was telling me about his dog. He said "He's a Doberman Pinscher, but he doesn't pinch, he bites!" I think it's funny, or maybe you had to be there.
Oh boy, a book I don't already own! I would love to win your giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win. Pick me!
P.S. Here's a silly joke: What did the fish say when he hit the wall? Dam!
Thanks for a chance to win. I'm always looking for a new craft book because I'm just starting my collection. Right now Simplify is one of my favorites.
Very cool~ have been wanting to try a jelly roll quilt for a while!
Kim Brackett's Scrap-Basket Sensations is my favorite quilt book. I'd love to win the book you are giving away! Thank you for the chance!
Fun book, but unlike you, I never win!

No silly, it's IdaHO!
(we don't live in Idaho btw)
Yay! I have new jelly rolls, so this will be great! I love Oh Fransson's book...great basics!
Thanks for the great giveaway. I'm a sucker for quilt books, I could look through them all day. My 5yr olds fav joke right now is... why was 6 afraid of 7... because 7 8 9. Yep, we hear that one a lot. :) Good luck everyone.
Hi! The book looks great! Thanks for the chance to win.
I love kids chokes. It is so funny to hear what them crack up after telling a silly choke.
Love this giveaway!
Looks like a terrific book, I especially like the 2nd pattern you showed. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd be so happy to win! I only have one quilting book (just got it last month!).
I don't have a fave quilt book - I've been thinking about getting Modern Basics, but can't really decide! It would be great to win one :)

Okay, I'll share my favorite joke from when I was 14 - 20 years ago!
What did the ocean say to the shore?
Nothing! It waved!
Still makes me laugh! Love the book - thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! I have a Wonderland jelly roll that has just been hanging out waiting for the right pattern. Maybe it's in that book. :) My favorite quilting book would have to be Modern Quilt Workshop by Weeks and Bill RIngle. It was the very first quilting book I ever saw that was different. Their designs just made me itch to sew. No other quilt book had done that.
would LOVE that!
I have 2 jelly rolls languishing in my stash right now!

A poppa shark and his son were out getting dinner, when the son asked, "Dad, how come you always circle people twice before you take a bite?" The father replied, "Because they taste better if you scare the crap out of them."
It was the only one I could think of...
Thanks for participating. Love the fabric.

Here's a funny conversation I had with my 5yo daughter at lunch the other day:
Emma: Uh, mom, there’s applesauce all over the wall.
Me: How did it get there?
Emma: I don’t know. A helicopter flew up and put it there.
A joke from my son--A boy was riding in the car with his grandfather. Grandfather said, "Oh, no! I just ran a red light!"
"It's OK, Grandpa," the boy said, "the cop right behind us did the same thing!"
he he. My kids like "What do you get when you cross a woodpecker and a roadrunner? ...Potholes."

Fabulous giveaway - I have Jelly Roll Quilts by her and have made two of the patterns and I *love* them! I would love this companion book :) I don't know anything funny right now (I'm awful at remembering punch lines). PS - **I MAILED MY SWAP SQUARES TO YOU TODAY** so you should see them in a day or two.
haha! If you are so lucky you should be out buying lotto tickets! Imagine the fabric you could get your hands on then!
Those look like really fun patterns in that book. Hopefully I'll be able to try them out!
Love jelly rolls! Looks like a fun book.
Thank yoU!
I don't have any quilt books yet. My mom picked some up for me, but I do have a few magazines, so I love to look through for ideas!

My silly joke: how many flies does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 2, but we can't figure out how they got in there!
Had to repost...someone already told my joke...so here's another funny I hope you haven't heard:
A vulture boards an airplane carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess takes one look at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."
Hi, I'm a new follower. Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide.

The other day my 2-year-old said, "Do I look like a pwetty gu-wol?"
And I said, "You are a beautiful girl."
And she said, "Yeah. I thought so."
Ok this is my favorite joke. It's in response to someone who has just finished eating and says, "I'm stuffed."
"So life-like. Who is your taxidermist?"
I don't know it just always makes me smile.
last week, my nephew proclaimed my spaghetti was much better than his mother's spaghetti. Why is this funny? My husband wishes I cooked as well as his sister!
