"Shadow Trapunto Quilts: Simple Steps, Remarkable Results - 30 Elegant Projects", by Geta Grama, published by CT Publishing is a new quilting book that will help quilters create stunning quilts. This new quilting book, with very unique and inspirational designs, which I previously wrote a review on is also a prize for this weeks' Fun Friday Giveaway, which is sponsored by Geta Grama.
While you may or may not be familiar with techniques for incorporating trapunto into your quilts, Geta takes the Trapunto quilting technique further than I've ever seen before, and shares her insights on how to make stunning quilts through the 30 projects she shares in this book, along with all her tips and insights.
This inspirational book also includes a CD that allows you to print off the designs for the 30 projects to create full-size projects that are covered in this book. Projects range in size from 4"x6" (postcard) to 34"x34".
Geta has published various patterns and e:books with fun designs. But, I am truly delighted that she has shared her insights on Trapunto, through this new book "Shadow Trapunto Quilts". I am confident this book will be the inspiration for many future award winning quilts at various quilt shows.
I was delighted when Geta offered to sponsor a giveaway for SewCalGal followers, whereby they could win a copy of Geta's amazing new book "Shadow Trapunto Quilts.
If you are interested in winning a copy of this book, simply leave a comment on this post and be sure I have a way to contact you (e.g. no reply blog settings are not eligible to win).

Colonial Blog Hop Giveaway for Notions
Winners for this giveaway were to be selected based on the best guess for the number of pins that the Colonial Needle horseshoe magnet was able to hold. To my amazement it held 20 and probably could have held more, but it was an even 20 that I had on my sewing table and needed to pick up. Pretty impressive for such a little magnet! The five winners were selected as follows:
Two winners correctly guessed the number of pins:
Deb and Bente-I like to QuiltBlog
Three additional winners were ranomly selected from all of the entries
Paulette (Sweet P Quilting)I will be sending an email out to these lucky winners this weekend, to confirm that they want to claim their prize and obtain their mailing address. If they do not respond within 3 days, another name will be drawn.
