Thanks to Quilting Gallery for hosting a Blog Hop Party to celebrate Back-to-School -
Of course I wanted to join in the party - who doesn't LOVE a party?!? And I am really excited to celebrate the fact that AQAP now has over 200 followers - whoohoo!!! So this is what I will be giving away here at A Quilt and A Prayer....
Don't we all just love Kaffe Fassett? What a designer!!! If I were going back to school, Kaffe's classes would be at the top of my "gotta-take-it" list!!! And of course Kaffe's books are more than just projects and quilts... they are ART! So much eye candy and gorgeous photography.....
This book is one of my favorites, so it's no surprise that somehow I ended up with a second copy. =^..^= So I'd love to pass it on to one of you who would love it! It is a very large, heavy softcover book, with 144 pages of gorgeousness :*) Of course it is in perfect condition. Here are just a few of the 20 projects in Quilts en Provence....
Not to mention Kaffe's luscious fabrics!!!

Why would you want to decide to follow me here at A Quilt and A Prayer? Well, for all the fun projects of course! With a little kitty cat fun thrown in too :*) Here are some of the fun projects I've shared recently....

I am now a follower through email! that way I dont miss any posts :)
ReplyDeleteI like blogs that have really clear pictures and tutorials. not crazy about the ones with alot of clutter and only 2 inches of reading space. The book looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteI love everything Kaffe! I have been collecting Kaffe fabric for a while and need to get going on using some of it. Thanks for the giveaway. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI am now a new follower.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite movies is a Year in Provence by: Peter Mayle...Wonderful movie serial...Love this book and the quilts the colors are amazing as is anything Kaffe creates...Thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fabulous giveaway. My favorite thing about blogs is tutorials and inspiring projects.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do my part to get you over the 200 follower marks so I decided to join the fun. New follower here!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa! It's been too long since I visited.. I've been so bad at blog surfing/commenting this summer! Of course I follow. :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat I love most about blogs are all the fab pics of quilting projects. Not sure I have a favorite blog, just love them all. Oh, and your water melon quilt with the ants on it is soo great! Love it!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Hi Teresa. I have followed your blog awhile with my blog watch list. However, I had failed to make it official. I just did and see that I was number 200! So congratulations girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Kaffe Fassett. I have two of his books, but not that one. I so hope I win.
Have a nice weekend.
I absolutely love tutorials because I am so new to quilting. Thank you very much. alizavdw@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love tutorials and seeing finished projects!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower!
ReplyDeletei love bonnie hunter and her blog
ReplyDeletei am a follower
ReplyDeleteThere are so many fantastic blogs out there so I guess I like when they show what they are working on and are human and show the mistakes too.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower through GFC - thanks for the chance to win a Kaffe Book. I met him at his booth at the Festival of Quilts last weekend so it would be cool to have one of his books!! Yay for shipping internationally.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like most about my favorite blog is the thrifty ness. I'm not able to buy designer fabrics all the time. In fact I have one fat quarter bundle that is designer and I actually regretted buying it. I've found beautiful fabrics in sheets, clothing, table clothes. Anyway, she shows beautiful things she makes out of shirts.
ReplyDeleteAbout to become a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your wonderful blog on GFC!
ReplyDeleteI love tutorials on blogs. I love to get new ideas and try things I wouldn't have thought of on my own! :) Blogs are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilt blogs always have inspiring projects and ideas. This is great giveaway thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to be a new follower through email.
ReplyDeleteI always love looking at the process quilters use for quilts, and photos of their studios! It's nice to know mine isn't the only one that get's messy while in process of many projects!
ReplyDeleteProbably my favorite blog site is Exuberant Color - why? Well you see, Wanda likes bright and bold as much as I do and she makes quilts that are pure art..even if it is a bed quilt, it is ART. She uses color and value amazingly well. I hope to be that good some day. She also "plays" to create. Not to mention she shows quilts that she made from Kaffe Fassett fabrics AND quilts that she makes that are inspired by his quilts....now can you tell why I want this book???
ReplyDeletegreat book! i love everything he does.
ReplyDeletecome visit my giveaway too-- www.patchworkposse.com/blog

This was the first Kaffe Fassett book I read, and ohmigoodness! It's so lovely! My favorite thing about my favorite blog sites is the author's personality. No matter what the topic is, their voice is real and valuable to me, and it brings me a little joy to read their adventures. (And even more so if they make quilty things for me to admire!)
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to take his class but I had the good fortune to be in the class next to him at Sister's one year and we loved his music! I have too, too many favorite blogs to list but Quiltville would have to be at the top of my list. I'm looking forward to finding new favorites on the Hop!
ReplyDeleteI like blogs that chat with me as though I am a friend who dropped in for a cup of tea and a chat. Oh, my goodness, how generous a gift you are giving!!! Adore his material but don't have any of his patterns or books! Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower - love seeing your blog come up in my email!! Blessings!!!

i couldn't choose a favorite blog...but i love when I learn a little about the person and not just her/his sewing table :)
ReplyDeleteI love Kaffe Fassett! What I like about my favorite blogs is not too much "wordiness" or "preaching" but just little tidbits about WIPs and UFO, new lines of fabric, favorite tips, new tricks, anything really, but short and sweet :)

ReplyDeletemy favourite blogs are smaller ones -without the bi-weekly sponsor update things. I like to see progress pictures ohh and it's really comforting if they make mistakes to, it get'S a bit depressing if they turn out one perfect qiult every week plus of course mathcing bags and pilllow cases and the odd birthday present...

ReplyDeleteHumm the thing I like about blogs would be the ones that have a "human" touch to them. They not only share their work, but also their boo-hoos, stories, tuts, etc., and are remember that not all of us have a gallizion years under our belts but some of us are real newbies. Thank You for the chance to win Kaffe's book and sharing your delightful pictures.
