SewCalGal previously reviewed "The Giving Quilt", by Jennifer Chiaverini, from Plume Books, when it was released in hardcopy form in October 2012. This book is an inspirational book that I believe every fan of Chiaverini will certainly enjoy, as well as quilters that enjoy going on quilt retreats, making new quilting friends, making charity quilts, as well as simply enjoys a fun read. It is a delightful book that will be available in paperback on April 2nd. Yeah!
To help celebrate the release of this inspirational book in paperback, Plume Books has offered two prize bundles for followers of SewCalGal that live in the US or Canada. Plume Books will be shipping the prize to the lucky winners. And, each prize bundle will consist of a paperback copy of this book, as well as a special Jennifer Chiaverini Quilt pin designed for The Giving Quilt. Each book in the Elm Creek Quilts series has a special enameled pin and they are fun to collect and wear!
I also want to let my followers that follow via Google/Reader know that Google has announced their plans to obsolete this tool on July lst. There are several alternatives, which I'm researching and I'd certainly like to here your recommendations for life after Google/Reader.
Please complete this raffle copter form to enter this giveaway
Don't forget you can also find this new book at Amazon, various book stores and many premiere quilt shops.

Wow. What a terrific giveaway. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI've been following you with Google Reader. I've been trying out Feedly and Bloglovin', but both of them have things that I'm not happy with. I signed up for "The Old Reader", but still waiting for them to import my google reader blogs. They're backed up. Maybe next week, I'll look for more things to try.
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot to mention that I can give a U.S. mailing address if I win.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this book!! I have a Canadian address and I am a GFC follower.
ReplyDeleteLove to win this book and I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite authors. I enjoy reading about quilts when I am too tired to quilt any longer!
ReplyDeleteI love her books! And who wouldn't want a pin to go with it?
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good book....These and wonderful
ReplyDeleteLove her books....I understand this one is about charity quilt and I am very involved in that work. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI am trying Feedly and Bloglovin. Jury is out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. I started with Feedly, like the organizational aspect but not all of my blogs transferred = lots of work. Bloglovin' took all of my blog list and lets me make comment, etc. without any extra clicks so I've been using it a lot
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer's books! Thanks so much! I have join Bloglovin and Feedly. So far, I'm loving Feedly!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I didn't realize there were pins to go with the books. I will be looking into that now. I am at a loss for the whole reader thing. I hear the most about bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Jennifer Chiaverini's books. I have read most of them and look forward to reading this one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer Chiaverini's books, they make especially great travel reading when I'm flying across country to visit the grandbabies! I follow blogs via the Dashboard, which I hope isn't also going away, but have linked my blog to Bloglovin since it seems many are going to that.
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer's books and didn't know there were pins, thats awesome
ReplyDeleteI still use the Blogger dashboard to read blogs. I hope that continues to work. I'm a follower who thanks you for the opportunity to win your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI've never used Goggle Reader. I always read blogs from the sidebar on my blog. As long as that isn't affected I will continue to read blogs that way.
ReplyDeleteI use google blogger. Many of the quilting sites i visit are moving over to bloglovin, but I have not chosen one yet. Will most likely end up with whoever is the most popular to keep track of everybody.
ReplyDeleteI follow with Google Reader, but, given its upcoming demise, I have also followed with Bloglovin
ReplyDeleteI follow via GFC right now, but I have also switched my list to Bloglovin. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI recenlty switched over from following all of my blogs from via emai & feed to now following via bloglovin
ReplyDeleteI follow you on google reader.
ReplyDeleteI guess I've been following you thru Google, too. Thanks for the heads up. And I hope I win a book as this is one I haven't read yet and I love Jennifer's books.Thanks for a neat giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMan, the people at my guild will be so jealous if I win this. I do follow you, on the sideline of my blog. I love your focus on modern quilting. I am in love with it.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite authors. Would love to win
ReplyDeletei would love to win the book and the pin they both look great. I follow you through google reader.
ReplyDeleteGreat Friday giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm behind in my Elm Creek reading. This would be a great addition to my library. Thanks for the chance. As for Google Reader, I don't think I use it, I just use the dashboard reader. I don't know if that one is going away (I hope not). I've never clicked on the Google Reader button, and, when I add a blog to my list, I don't click there, either. I'm hoping that this doesn't affect me. If only I could call and talk to a HUMAN, it would save me hours and hours searching online for answers. I miss being able to reach PEOPLE.
ReplyDeleteI follow through Bloglovin now that Google Reader is no more. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this great giveaway. I am following you through GFC and also through Bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteI love these pins that go with Jennifer's books. Thank you for yet another great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSound like a good read. Got my fingers, eyes and legs crossed that I win.
ReplyDeleteI just started a bookmarks folder of blogs I like. I can't figure out other reader programs. :-|
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. I currently follow your blog through Google Reader and have switched over to Feedly. The Feedly folks are suppose to have a back end program by July to pick up from Google the blogs followed in GR so hopefully that happens!!
ReplyDeleteIm looking at bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteI've been using Bloglovin recently, but I'm not sure I will stick with it. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Reader, Bloglovin and Feedly (trying to decide which one to use after there's no more Google Reader). Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love her books! I don't have a blog so sorry I can't help but I definitely need to know how to keep up with all you guys. Sew inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI'm a GFC follower!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
Ignore earlier comment - just spotted that you need a US/Canadian address!
ReplyDeleteI follow you through my inbox. Thanks for this, I have never won anything in my whole life, so I keep trying. Its fun, thanks in advance for this chance on one of her books.
ReplyDeleteLOVE her books!
ReplyDeleteI follow via Google Reader. I am bummed they are shutting it done. I've looked at Bloglovin and don't love it. I like to be able to see the whole post without having to open a separate page. I hope your research finds something great.
ReplyDeleteCombining 2 of my favorite things, reading and quilts! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI love to read. I love to quilt. Thanks to Jennifer Chiaverini I can enjoy the best of both. (If it is available as an audiobook I could even do them at the same time!)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your webpage but will follow now via email.
ReplyDeleteJanet E.
I would love to win this giveaway! Thanks for the chance. I am currently trying out Bloglovin but I don't much like it. Not sure what to do...
ReplyDeleteI follow on blog login now
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifers books, haven't read The Giving Quilt yet. I have noticed a lot of folks are switching to Bloglovin now. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI've been following via GFC; however, I just signed up to follow you via email. It would be nice if all blogs had the email option. I surely don't want to miss any posts from the bloggers I follow.
ReplyDeleteSomething I'd like to read. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI must be using google reader because I haven't signed up for anything else. Great give away.
ReplyDeleteAnita/Idaho
I follow you via email. I love doing it that way because then I never forget to check on a blog, and can flag posts I want to go back and read later.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a copy and read the book! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway! I have read all of her books but the last 2 and would love to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteI follow by email. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI follow via email. Have read The Giving Quilt.
ReplyDeleteI follow by e-mail. I think I've had all the Jennifer Chiaverini books up to this one. I also had a block included in a quilt she used in an early book where she asked for donated blocks.
ReplyDeleteI switched over to Bloglovin after seeing so many bloggers were recommending it. Going to find something else because you can't open up the person's blog from the Bloglovin post unless you manually type in the URL.
ReplyDeleteI just follow on my dashboard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about the new book release!
ReplyDeleteI follow by email and GFC.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the book and pin - have really enjoyed Jennifer C's book and quilts. So sorry to see that Google Reader is going...hope a good replacement can be found. Will be watching your column for suggestions. Judy R from Buffalo
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a giveaway!

Hi! I follow by e-mail, whitehead_dianna69@yahoo.com. I haven't read any of these books, yet, but am looking forward to starting. I also didn't know that there were pins to go along with each book! I have a Kindle Fire, but there is something about holding a book in your hand while you are swept away to another time and place that cannot be replaced. Thank you for letting me enter your contest!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI just love the Elm Creek Novels. I have decided to start from the begining and re-read them as I am told that reading before bed and not the computer will help my anxiety and help my brain to relax so I can sleep.
