Modern Basics Giveaway

I'm the next stop on Amy's blog tour for her new book, Modern Basics.

Amy mailed us all out a copy but since I'm in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things take a little longer to get here and so I haven't gotten my copy yet.

But I can show you all the gorgeous quilts in her book and share a little about her.

 

I first "met" Amy in the quilting bee "A Notion or Two". Since then she has started the Blogger's Quilt Festival, written some patterns (I even tested one for her), and now she has a new book filled with 14 gorgeous quilts.

Amy is just so honest and open and always willing to share her experience and knowledge with others. I know her book is just like that too.

I asked her a couple goofy questions to go along with the giveaway:

 

What's your favorite dessert?

Pretty much anything chocolate!  I recently made the Dark Chocolate Butter Cake - it's incredible.  No frosting required even!

Favorite movie?

I'm kinda a bad movie person - I never remember which ones we've watched!  I always have to ask Joe, unless it's something I've loved, and watched repeatedly...like, Return to Me, As Good as it Gets, or You've Got Mail.

  

Do you listen to music while you sew? TV? Audiobooks?

It really depends!  If I'm squeezing time in during the day, I usually don't turn anything on so I can hear the kids, and intervene as necessary.  But after their bedtime (8pm!) I will listen to music or a podcast to entertain my brain.

 

Leave a comment on this post and you'll be entered to win a copy of Modern Basics from Amy!
