The Open House was a huge success. My feet still have not touched the ground. Thank you to everyone who came. I am embarrassed to say that with all the excitement, I forgot completely about taking photos. I just don't know where my brain has gone.
Now on to the next excitement. Fortunately this next promotion can be done with my butt planted in a chair. Have you heard of a Book Blog Tour?
Would you like to win a free copy of Quilt Fiesta?
How about meeting some fascinating new bloggers?
My big announcement is that we're doing a 10 day book blog tour. Instead of traveling from book store to book store, you can travel from blog to blog. No need to worry about the weather or the price of gas. Starting tomorrow visit each blog in the tour, leave a comment and maybe you'll win a free copy of Quilt Fiesta. A book will be given away from each blog.
I am so proud of this book. Quilt Fiesta is a beautifully produced book that has 10 quilts and projects based on the designs of Mexican tiles. The artwork is gorgeous. In addition it has tidbits about Mexican culture and a travelogue about the trips that inspired the book.
Here's the schedule. It is a wonderful sampling of what types of blogs that are out there covering the different aspects of quilting. Each blogger will accept comments for 5 days from their start date. Enjoy reading these great blogs and don't forget to leave a comment. Good luck to all.

Thanks you for this list. I am a HUGE tile fan - and it all started with one that my daughter gave me...
ReplyDeleteI plan on making a quilt based on tiles.
Wow! This is a big deal - it is no wonder that you are on 9th cloud!! Congratulations! I'll be doing the hop and maybe I will be lucky to win Quilt Fiesta.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this book - thanks for the chance! :)

ReplyDeleteI love these book tours.
ReplyDeleteI heard you interviewed somewhere - Creative Mojo? Another podcast? Sorry I can't remember! I love tile and often take photos of it, too. I loved Christine Porter's idea of working with tiles/mosaics when her book came out. Looking forward to winning yours! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBonnie sent me over. Isn't she a great gal! Your new book looks and sounds like a great one! I think I need to bring my camera with me into the bathroom more often!!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl. Just found out about the tour from Bonnie Hunter. This is a big deal and I will be following every day. Congratulations on a great looking book. I am one of those who takes pictures of tile floors, borders, sidewalks, tables, whatever, everywhere I go. I live in southern California and tile is prevalent. Love to make quilts using the designs. Hoping to win one of your books and if not, will surely order one.
