The designs are all inspired by, you guessed it . . . Springtime in the Rockies! And you can see the influence of the gorgeous landscapes and wildlife in their work!
And with Machelle Preston's "Stepping into Spring" I can almost smell the fresh mountain air and cornflowers!
And just look at "Scrambled Eggs" by Emily Herrick--Love the whimsy!
Don't you just love Amy Smart's "Spring Baskets?" They'd be perfect for collecting Emily's scrambled eggs! ;-)
And these are just a few of the 15 projects in the book. I can't wait to dig in and get started on these great designs!
I'm sure you're itching to play with these great quilt designs too! I'm giving away a free copy of this book. All you have to do is to post a comment telling me about your favorite must-see place in the Rockies, or wherever you have loved being in nature! Yes, I know, I just got back from a long trip, but I'm always looking for the next adventure! Extra entries for those who follow my blog -- and new followers are always welcome! I'll announce a winner on Monday, September 24th.
And if you don't want to wait, you can purchase the book here.
Good luck!
Take a look at "Fresh Cut Flowers," by Rebecca Morganson. I just love the sweet mountain flowers!
And one of my favorites, "The Hills are Alive", by April Mazzoleni. Thanks, April, for sticking that song from "The Sound of Music" in my head. I've been humming it for days now!

I was in Denver a few years ago with my WDH and I just got in the car and drove around to see the beautiful city. I drove somewhere south of Denver and the valleys were so sweet. I did not get to see much since it was a short trip, but would love to see west of Denver. Judith, Texas
ReplyDeleteMy sister lives in Colorado Springs & we enjoy going up Pike's Peak when we visit them. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI don't live anywhere near the Rockies but I'd love to visit. I live between the west coast of Oregon and the mountains - either direction I can go is good!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many beautiful places located in the Rocky Mtns! One of my favorites is Red Rocks. It is located just outside of Denver, is one of only two places in the world with this type of rock formation, and has a natural amphitheater. A really awesome venue for a concert. I saw Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger there, AND I was part of a choir that got to perform there!
ReplyDeleteonly been in the airports of the mountain states, and have only seen those around salt lake city. but, i would like to see the grand tetons! they may be comparable to our mountains and glaciers surrounding my hometown of seward, alaska. springtime in any mountain area is absolutely gorgeous! love the book reviews and the pattern; thanx for the chance to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A GREAT BOOK!

I live in Wyoming, so am not far from the Colorado Rocky Mountains or the southern Wyoming Rocky Mountains....all beautiful. I love a drive through the mountains. Also, the book has some great looking projects. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love driving up any of the canyons...looking at all the beauty...especially the fall colors!
ReplyDeleteI've never visited the Rockies but it's on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteHere in England I love to visit the Lake District!
We used to live in Denver. I really miss the wonderful day trips we used to make in the mountains!

I don't live anywhere near the Rockies but I'd love to visit. I grew up near the ocean and my favorite place in nature, other than my yard, is sitting on the beach watching the waves and the birds trying to catch fish.
ReplyDeleteWe love to go to Denver - watch the Rockies and Broncos. Nothing better than that according to my boys. We also do a lot of camping - love it when the world slows down sitting around the campfire with the kids and grandkids.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the book! so many cute projects.
My fav. must see is Woodland Park, Colorado and the dino museum!!

Congratulations -- you're the big winner! I think you're a "no reply" blogger, however, so I can't contact you. Please email me at shortcookie16atgmail.com with your snail mail address so that I can send you your book! Cheers!
DeleteFavorite places in nature; Howe Caverns in New York State! Not the rockies, but the caves are amazingly beautiful and the rolling hills in the area in the fall are top notch! Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWe often love to visit the Great Smoky Mountains. Because we live in the deep south, the mountains are cool and refreshing. We've even tubed down the river before!! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWe have driven over the Rocky Mountains a couple of times and they are beautiful wherever you look. There is not one part that I can specifically point to as my favorite. I love the beauty of all of it.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to visit the Rocky Mountains as have only flown over them. The closest I've been to those high western peaks is the Wasatch Mountain range of Utah.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Colorado Springs and it was beautiful. The scenery is very different from the southeast where I live. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of this book.
ReplyDeleteI've never visited the Rockies, but we have some amazing places of nature here in Australia- notably the Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rock! Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteThe quilts in the new book look so cheerful. They should make great springq quilts.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks so wonderful!! I love the pretty Springtime projects! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation destination is the Blue Ridge Mountains! It's about a 9 hour drive from her, so close enough that we go once or twice a year. I love hiking and getting out in nature! My favorite hikes are the waterfall hikes! There is nothing more relaxing than sitting at the base of a waterfall as the mist washes over you... I've never been to the Rocky Mountains, but I SO hope that one day I get to!! :-)
I think I am too late for the giveaway! but the book looks great! love those spring baskets!
