It's that time again! Sew Mamma Sew is hosting its giveaway linky party. A chance to meet up with some pretty amazing quilt bloggers and participate in some heartfelt love in the form of giveaways. This is my first time participating in this linky party. Thanks's to Lara at Buzzin Bumble and Jenn at Quarter Inch From the Edge, I am able to participate.
Let me back up...back when Lara's book Crafted Applique was released, I won a copy of the book during the 30 day blog hop event celebrating the book's release over at Quarter Inch From the Edge. Lara had offered to refund the money of anyone that had already purchased the book, if they won one of the giveaways. My name was drawn at random, making me a winner. I had already purchased the book, so instead of requesting a refund, I asked Lara if I could instead give away a copy of her book at a later date to a lucky reader. And she happily said "yes."
So that brings us today and this book.
This book has been life changing for me. I HATED doing applique. I have been known to go to great lengths to avoid it at all costs. That is until after this book entered my life. The crazy part is, it is so simple a pre-schooler could do it (well maybe not the sewing machine part). I can't wait to do more of it!
The Crafted Applique method made attaching these letters to my in progress book shelf quilt (Read With Me by Melissa Corry) a breeze. The best part is, Lara's method treats the fabric to prevent fraying...who doesn't love that??? I know I love it!.
So one lucky reader will win a copy of Lara's Crafted Applique book. Entering the giveaway is easy. Just leave a comment below and tell me how you feel about applique. For me, I love it on a quilt, but have always dreaded the process. Not any more, I say bring on the applique! You can have a second entry if you are a follower of TishNWonderland, just leave a second separate comment telling me how you follow me. Heck, it's Christmas, and let's show the amazing Lara some love. I will give you a third entry if you leave a comment telling me if you follow Buzzin Bumble and how.
Don't forget if you are a no reply blogger to leave your email address in the comment, otherwise I will not be able to contact you if you win. The giveaway will be open until Midnight Monday December 12th and is open internationally (per Lara...isn't she the best??) I will announce the winner on Tuesday, December 13th and Lara will contact you via email about shipping your book.
Normally, I try to reply to all comments, however, due to a traveling teenager arriving home this weekend and the craziness that comes with that, I apologize in advance if I do not respond. Know that I appreciate everyone that stops by! If this is your first time to Wonderland please feel free to look around. You can read more about me and my crazy life of quilting, cats and family here.
Don't forget, Crafted Applique is the perfect holiday gift for any quilter! You can pick up a copy of of crafted Applique here.
Today I'm linking up with Giveaway Day.

I love applique. I have done numerous wallhangings and quilts. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am intimidated by hand appliqué. I do not have a properly working multi-stitch sewing machine at the moment so I avoid appliqué that requires more than just a straight stitch to hold it down. I did take Shannon Brinkley's Scrappy Applique class and I have made the world and the deer. Thanks a bunch!
i don't mind applique, though it can get in the way of the process at times.
I always wanted to do applique. Thats on my goal for next year.

I've never actually tried applique! I've been wanting to give it a go though, and it sounds like this book would be a great start. :)
I've never done appliqué and it seems so mysterious and kind of scary!
I need lots of practice with applique! Thanks for the chance to win.
I enjoy applique.
I like applique but hate needle turn. Thanks for the chance.
Not really an applique lover. Don't mind using straight stitch to sew on a dresden plate, but that's about it.
I like how appliqué looks, but I usually don't have the patience for it. Thanks!
I do follow your blog with Bloglovin. Thanks for the inspiration.
I also have been following Lara's blog for while. She is pretty awesome too.
I love applique and thus have made several quilts with applique.
Love your blog,Wonderland, follow you faithfully.
For applique I have always used fusible web, but occasionally have traced onto the wrong side.This new method sounds so easy and would love to have the book and try Lara's technique.

I love appliqué and am really just a beginner, wanting to learn more. This book looks great! Thanks for the opportunity.
I've done appliqué but am not completely comfortable with it. Maybe the book will help!
What a wonderful giveaway. I also love the applique' technique in this book, as well as designs. Funny, as I was at a Quilt Sew-cial today where I "again" recommended this book to others, with an emphasis on how someone was doing a project where the techniques in this book would have significantly helped them be more creative.
Hope it is ok, as I added a link to your giveaway at http://mycreativebloglist.blogspot.com/2016/12/updated-list-of-giveaways-for-december.html

I love how applique looks, and I've done it a few times, but I don't really enjoy doing it. I'm not sure why, maybe because it's hard to get it looking just right. This book looks really interesting, I would love to read it.

I love applique but normally don't have the patience to do it. Maybe this book would change that!
I enjoy applique,and use blanket stich predominantly, but am intrigued about Laras method as Ihave read so many positive things about it. This is a wonderful giveaway Tish.

I love applique. I find needle turn really hard, but love raw edge.
I love applique and use it often. I love to machine applique and raw edge applique but I also like to blanket stitch around applique shapes. But...I am always looking for new ideas and methods so I would love to own this book or at least look through it and learn this technique!
All my quilts have appliqué,it's my favorite technique
I already follow you on bloglovin
Just learning and try to jump in and have fun. But I sometimes am to hard on myself with my stitches and mistakes and then it becomes tedious. Looking forward to new ideas and learning to bring back the fun in applique as this book shows.

I've done a bit of applique, but it's a method I try to avoid! I know Lauras method is highly regarded and would love to give it a try!'
I love the design possibilities with applique- anything is possible! I have only done fusible, raw edge applique by machine so I don't use it a lot. I have been itching to get my hands on this book because this method looks like an applique game changer!

I've had a great (and patient) friend who has been coaching me, from 3000 miles away, thanks to email! :) Thank you for sharing your book and being part of this giveaway.
I love doing applique! I have been trying to get a copy of this spectacular book it seems like forever.

I love to hand applique, but I have a rush quilt and would love to try this technique on it! It looks like it would be faster. ndfromsd(at)gmail(dot)com
I've only been sewing for three years and am just starting to get into quilting (I'm in the middle of my second quilt - hoping to get it finished in time for Christmas!). I have not attempted applique yet, but if you are actually excited to applique using this method, I would certainly love to learn! I'm always looking for new ways to expand my sewing skills!
When I first started appliqueing I hated it, the more I have appliqued the more I love it.

Applique is growing on me. I prefer foundation piecing if you can believe it, for most pictorial blocks, but in some instances, I now admit, applique would look better. I have done some raw edge applique on a few quilts. I have done a practice piece of needle turned applique and I was surprised that I enjoyed it. I do admit, however, that I could not do a whole quilt in needle turn applique. I just do not have the stick-with-it-ness required. I'm interested in this new method, though.
I follow via email. Thanks for the giveaway!
I do like applique! And I have this book on my wish list.

I kind of thought I would hate appliqué, but I really enjoy it (the little bit of it I've done so far). Thanks for the chance!

I love the look of appliques but haven't done much of it myself...slightly intimidating!
I, like you, love the look of appliqué, not so much the process; in fact Lara quoted me in her intro because I said I went from "aaack!-pliqué" to "ahhh-pliqué"...and her method did it! It is the coolest. Love love your storybook quilt!
I follow you EVERYWHERE, even to weird-named places in Ohio like Gnadenhutten and BER-lin not Ber-LIN....and a fantastic antique place that had us humming the banjo music from hmm, 'Deliverance'?...said antique place that turned out to be stellar! Okay, move on Sandra.

And! Confession...... (drum roll) I followed Lara before I started following you (insert sheepish face/red face/downcast eyes face), but I hadn't met you yet!!
mwah! If you pick me, you know what to do...draw again. ;-) I have this book and have used it in several projects!
I enjoy needle-turned applique and have a love/hate relationship with fused. Maybe this book will help changed how I feel about fusing. mfhagopian@aol.com

I've only appliquéd two projects - one was raw edge and looked okay, the second was fusible web with a blanket stitch. Whew, does that one need help! I want to like it, I just need to do more to get better! Thanks for the chance to win!

Thanks too, for giving me a boost by asking people if they follow me... you are absolutely The Best!
Appliqué is not one of my favourite things but once I get started I'm happy I'm doing it. I allow like the finished project.

I can do larger applique, but have never mastered it enough to try the little fussy bits like in a Baltimore album.
I do add appliqué to several of my quilts, and use the freezer paper method. It is VERY time-consuming, but I love the look of those little extras that can only be achieved by appliqué! Sure would love to win a copy of that book . . . . it sounds intriguing. (lynnstck[at]yahoo.com)

What a wonderful book and great post! I'd love to have this book.
I just finished a needle turn applique quilt, lots of hard work! Would love to win the book! Eileen ekmvalencia@gmail.com
I am another one that comes to applique kicking and screaming. Perhaps this book will take the stress out of it for me. Thanks for the give-a-way.
I have tried Lara's method and it is amazing! Totally makes Applique doable! mumbird3(at)gmail(dot)com
This book sounds wonderful. I enjoy applique in small doses!
Looks like a great book. Thanks for the opportunity to win. I was like you, I avoided applique, but have come to slowly accept raw edge fusible applique, though it is still not my favorite technique. I already follow and receive e-mails that notify me of your posts. Blessings! Melva - davemelvanolan at aol dot com
I like the effect you can get with applique, but haven't done much lately. This would be a great way to get back into it. Thanks for the chance!
I love appliqué. I do mostly needle turn, but would love to learn this machine method. It might let me get more of my applique ideas out of my head and actually made into quilts!
I like the looks of applique but mostly what I do when I want to applique something on a quilt is machine applique or fusible applique which I then sew around. Needle turn applique would get easier/better if I would do it more often ... but I don't. Thanks for doing the give-away!
Fish, ive seen so many wonderful reviews of this book and it's already at the top of my Christmas wishlist! XO

I've never attempted it so far. I think it's amazing though and would love to do so in the near future!
Thank you for a lovely giveaway!!
Applique has always felt finicky to me (although I've done it a few times). I'd love a book that could open my eyes to applique being wonderful. Especially because I'd love to make an orange peel quilt one day but have been putting it off because of all the applique!
I think applique is really fun and I've used it often already, no matter if in big or small projects. :)
Thanks for thechance to win!
I love the way applique looks but have only done it once. Would love to have this book, it looks awesome!! Thanks for the chance to win it! Merry Christmas!
