Anniversary Giveaway: Win a Signed Copy of A Beginner’s Guide to Quilting
Update: This Giveaway is Now Closed! Thanks to Everyone Who Entered
The winners are Diana A., Theresa H., and Lidia F.
A Beginner’s Guide to Quilting was published one year ago — where does the time go? I’m celebrating this big bookaversary by giving away three signed copies of the guide ($24.95 value) to three New Quilters readers.
Would you or someone you know like to learn all about how to make quilts the fun and easy way, for free? Here’s your chance!

I’m a new quilter, but love it. There’s just sooo much to learn, i get a little overwhelmed trying to learn everything on my own. So, i could really use your help.
This book of yours would be a treasure to own, (especially a signed copy), to read, for future reference, etc, the learning never stops, which is what i like most about learning a new craft like ‘quilting’ for me. I’m very exciting & would love to own this signed copy.
Thank you for giving me the time & opportunity to perhaps win this book.

Fabric, fabric, fabric! I love fabric; the creative possibilities are endless! That is why I love quilting. I am relatively new in the quilting world and have only made 3 quilts so far but I am hopelessly addicted. I also know that there are millions of tips, tricks and techniques in the art of quilting, which is why I would love to win your book!
Would love to win this book as I’m just starting on quilting , have read lots and watched tutorials on utube , it’s always difficult to know which book is best to buy that would set you on the right road , so fingers crossed I might win . Have only just signed up to your website and am loving it so far xx
Seria maravilhoso ganhar o seu livro! Vou torcer muito! E como vai me ajudar! bjss do Brasil!
Would love to win your book.
Great book…would love to have the spiral bound version!
I’m so glad I signed up for these emails. Love them.
Always said that Quilting and Patchwork was not for me. How wrong I was! After being talked into trying my first quilt, I have become a ‘Quiltaholic’ and realise that there is so very much to learn. I have started my journey with a ‘Log Cabin’ and to have a copy of your book would be just fantastic. Who knows, I might be lucky enough to win a copy. Thank you.
I am loving how I am learning to quilt quilts for my grandchildren. I am loving the process. I would love to learn more techniques and how to make more blocks. I have found my passion. I love to quilt and getting your book would increase my knowledge and enhance my ability to try new patterns, blocks and techniques. Thank you in advance.
Congratulations! Happy anniversary!
I have done some quilting in the past but am newly retired and finally can find time to finish a project. There are a lot of things I need to learn & can’t wait for the opportunity.
I would love to learn how to make a quilt.
I am a relatively new quilter. And I have recently relocated to Florida.
I’ve located a quilt store in my area and hope to meet a community of
quilting friends.
Having your book as a resource will be a benefit in my new endeavor.
Looking forward to perusing your site and hopefully using your book
as my guide!
I’m sending this for the second time because I was not sure if it went through
the first time,
This book would be a great addition to my sewing room. I have been accumulating some beautiful fabric and I am ready to start to quilt.
I love sewing! I basically have made up my own designs for baby quilts but would love a copy of your book to try it out to make a full size quilt from scratch the right way. I’m especially interested in learning how to quilt as you go and learn how to put it all together. I’m crossing my fingers that you’ll pick me for copy of your book‼️ Thank you‼️ Connie
Thank you so much for all of the ideas and clear instructions. Even I can understand them and really enjoy the smaller items you have along with fantastic tips. I look forward to receiving and reviewing all of them. I haven’t tackled a large quilt yet, but have completed two lap quilts. Thank you so much for all of your assistance.
I could really use a book that works for beginners. Yours is just what I need.m

I would love to have your hook. I am a beginner quilter. I have made 3 little quilts. Clearly I need help. I think your book would be just what I need. My mother made beautiful quilts and I would like to follow in her foot steps.

I live in Rural France, I’m a beginner, learning to quilt from your site. Not an easy way to learn but it’s the only way I’ve got.
I have eight grandchildren that have asked me to make each of them a quilted blanket. Can a grandmother refuse because she doesn’t know the how to? Of course not!
So I’m learning…
Congratulations for you site and all your posts!
I’d love to win . I need books I only have tube and myself sine I live in a remote area Nortwest territory’s and stores are almost extinct lol very few anyway and not fabric stores please p draw my name
I have been quilting for a while now and always appreciate that little bit of advice to do things correctly, having the printed version in front of me would certainly make my efforts a lot better. Thank you for the chance to participate.
Your instructions in your earlier books are spot on!!! You cover every area of question and make it so easy to follow. You do an awesome job helping us along the way. There is no better way to help others than by learning by your own mistakes. I’ve purchased your previous books and anxious to read this one. Your work is beautiful and just looking at your pictures is awe inspiring. Thank you for all you do to give us enjoyment through your own love of quilting.

I love quilting books – thanks for the chance to win.
I would love this book. As a fairly new quilter I can use all the help and ideas I can get. I am always looking for ideas.
I have time now to sew and have 5 tubs of scraps and fabric yardages to use up. I need the help.
I’m sure there are easier ways to do the things necessary to quilt! I’d love a copy of the book 🙂
I am new to quilting and would love to have this book.
Wow! What a generous thing to do. I’d love this book to better my skills and venture out from square and rectangle blocks. And being signed is a super bonus! Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love to have this book! I have been quilting for a few years but I am still a work in progress!
I am just beginning to quilt. I have made tops but I have been tying them only. I would really love to have your book for more help, and I have a friend I am helping to start quilting it would be very informative for her also. Love your newsletters!
Looks like an awesome book!

I’ve been quilting for about 3 years now and have learned pretty much on my own and from a few
friends. Pinterest has also been a great help! 🙂
Am pretty new at quilting. Your book would be very helpful. Have learned a lot from you all ready 🙂
Had to get back to beginnings and simple with my quilting. Limited mobility because of MS has made quilting a different adventure. The book sounds like it would be just what l need to get motivated to try it all again.
I would love to win this book because I’m going to be mentoring a class at the Tulalip Indian Reservation teaching the beginnings of quilting. I’m sure the book would be a good teaching add.
I LOVE your blog and all the patterns that you share. Love love love Stacked Coins. Definitely on my list of quilts to make with all the scraps I have!!!!!
I would love to win the book. I always need help with my quilts.
Just re-entered the quilting world after many years absence. You know, work, family obligations, etc. My twin grandsons (twenty years old) wanted me to make them quilts out of their team t-shirts – just like I did for their dad many years ago. Probably wasn’t the best way to begin quilting again – what a project! They are complete and the boys love them, but it made me a little crazy trying to remember the best way to go about such a project. I really appreciate the simple, yet interesting styles you use. Would love a copy of this little gem if a book! Thanks, Joyce
One can never have too many cook books or sewing books!
I love your quilts and I‘m always on the lookout for new ideas
Thank you so much for inspiring me to get back into quilting. I was in a creative slump and a friend told me about your amazing site. I knew I had to start quilting again when I saw your gorgeous work. I’m excited to get a chance to win one of your books.
I have been doing quilting ocassionaly but am now thinking of doing more. I have done “The Dresden Plate” pattern and learned alot while doing it. I enjoy all your shortcuts and advice so much. Would really love to win your book as it would help me to be a better quilter.
New to quilting but long time sewer. Would love to have a copy of your book.
I would love to win your book! Currently when I get stuck I have to resort to UTube tutorials however this becomes quite frustrating as the internet is very patchy in my sewing room and by the time I complete a step my IPad has shut down. Having a book that lies flat with all I need to know, at hands reach would be bliss
This would be a wonderful book for me as I’m just getting into quilting. I’ve picked the brains of friends who quilt, but sometimes if I read about something I remember it better.
Love all your emails and advice…I’m a self taught quilter, but am getting better and braver, because of you!! I would love a signed copy of your book!! My friends would be so jealous!! Congratulations on your success!!!
Thank you so much for the opportunity!!!
I enjoy your mails and use it for my quiltgroep in the Netherlands.
So more people van be inspiratie from your website
Thanks for all.

Hi I have always said that I am not mad to cut a big piece of fabric in small pieces and then make them big again, until a few years ago when I lived in Bahrain, and a friend convinced me to take quilting classes with her. Now I am hooked and is busy with my 33rd quilt. I would love to win your book.
Happy quilting . Lots of love. Elizabeth
