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'm not big on applique either because it seems like so much work but you've got me intrigues about her methods
I love how it looks! Scared to do it, but I sure want to try!
I love applique, and all kinds of sewing!
Thank you for blogging. I am following via email!
I've only done a small amount of applique but I enjoyed it. I haven't decided yet if I feel ready to do a mostly applique project but I am certainly curious! Thanks so much. Monique.belmer at gmail.com
I am just learning how to appliqué. I like it but it is daunting at times.
I have done an appliqué on a tote bag before, love it.
I did some applique early in my sewing life, and it did not turn out well. I have not tried it since. After reading your post I am eager to give it another go! Thank you
And now I am following you via email, and looking forward to learning more skills!
I love to applique...my kid's first and only quilt has ABC and 123 ppliqued on it...would love to win this book and learn a formal method of applique.
I am not a big fan of applique only because I haven't done it that much. I love the way it looks and am afraid mine won't come out looking so nice. Thank you for the opportunity to win! ljbisme at msn dot com
I have not yet done a quilt with appliques. I'm allay afraid to. Perhaps I should buy this book. Or borrow it on Kindle if it comes that way.
Hi Tish, I guess you won't be responding to comments with this post! There are a ton. I've never done applique but am interested in trying it. It's for sure on quilty bucket list!
