Happy New Year Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season spent with the ones you love. Things were quiet around here - just the way we like it :)
I just want to take a minute to thank all of you! This little blog of mine allows me to record my quilting journey and as really cool bonus, I've made some wonderful friendships along the way! I appreciate all the encouragement this past year as I accomplished one of my past goals of becoming an author. It was a dream come true and I know I talked about it A LOT :) So thanks to those of you who stuck around and cheered me on! Thanks to those of you who support my little pattern business too. I kind of love designing patterns and I'm glad you like them too.
As a thank you for being AWESOME and to wrap up the Vintage Vibe Blog Tour I want to give away 1 autographed copy of Vintage Vibe. To enter, just leave a comment below (you might even get bonus points if you tell me which Vintage Vibe project is your favorite. If you're not sure, check out some of the stops on the blog tour where each project has been highlighted. I made it really easy for you - just click on the links below or stop by the Martingale website and click on the Vintage Vibe gallery.) I'll pick a winner in the next few days.

Congratulations on this AWESOME book! Would love to make each one!! Hard to pick just one fave...but the Growing Up, Vintage Vibe, & Sugar Sweet are my 1st "wanna/gotta make's"!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the patterns but one that really caught my eye is Sugar - love the tulip and the Flower Sugar fabrics. I must confess that I couldn't wait for the giveaway and I ordered my own copy already.
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite is 'Scrap Jars' and then 'Lovely'. The Dresden Quilt is also so beautiful, but a bit too ambitious for me at the moment, I think. You have brought out a wonderful book, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHard to pick just one. Playing Favorites and Twirl are probably my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI totally love love love the Vintage vibe quilt. The two color design is simplicity at its best!!! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI love the twirl quilt pattern, it is one I would really like to put on my 2015 to do list. Hope I win your wonderful book--congratulations on your publishing endeavors.
ReplyDeleteI adore the patterns from this book. They are so fresh and versatile. My favorite is Playing Favorites.
ReplyDeletePlaying Favorites is my current favorite! Your color choices are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI asked for this book for Christmas.. And I got it!!! love Scrap Jars!
ReplyDeleteI love bot Sugar and Sugar Sweet. They are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your book with us!
ReplyDeleteSandy A
I love, love this booK! Dashing would be the first one that I would make...and after that I would have to draw the names out of a jar. They are all outstanding! I am sooooooo hoping that I win this book!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Sugar Sweet! I would definitely make more than one project from your book. :0)
ReplyDeleteSince I've never made a Dresden Plate I'm leaning towards Pretty Petals. They are all beautiful and I love the book! Thank you so much for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the blog tour and even started follOwing a couple new blogs, including yours! I love 'growing up'
ReplyDeleteAlthough not part of vintage vibe, I also love your 'cross stitch' pattern and the cute birdhouse! So glad to have found your blog!
Well, Santa did not leave "Vintage Vibe" under the tree this year so thank you for a chance at this give-away! It's hard to choose just one favourite but boy am I smitten by the "Rainy Day" runner!

Loved seeing all the projects but Twirl is my favorite. Really need to put this one on my 2015 project list.
ReplyDeleteHard to decide but I really like Dashing. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog, thank you for a chance to win. Love all things vintage.
ReplyDeleteHard to decide by I think Big Baby, Sugar, and Sugar Sweet are my neck and neck favorites!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful quilts...I want to make them all! But if I HAD to choose I'd say Vintage Vibe.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Amber for the chance to win this awesome book. I loved all the quilts, but Sugar is my favorite.
ReplyDeletePick a favorite? I mean is that even possible? Okay I guess I could narrow it down to at least two.. Lovely and Pretty petals make my heart melt!
ReplyDeleteI just got your book from the library and I am loving it. It is one I need in my personal library as there are so many delightful, gorgeous quilts. My favorite is Sugar Sweet, followed closely by Vintage Vibe! Kristy soardkgatfusedotnet
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite project is Growing Up. Such a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteI loved three the mostest; Twirl, Sugar and Sugar Sweet. It was too hard to just pick one. I'm pretty sure I will be buying a book, but I would love it even more if I could win the autographed one. thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite project is Growing Up. Such a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteVintage Vibe will be one of my 2015 quilts, as will Dashing! Love them all, actually.
ReplyDeleteI love your book. My favorite is the quilt on the cover. But there are a few more I like also. (my computer is freezing up on pictures right now so can't get correct names.) Very nice book!
ReplyDeleteScrap jars is one of those quilts where I think, "That's brilliant. Wish I'd thought of that!"
ReplyDeleteLove the tour and love the book. Hard to choose a favorite but Vintage Vibe is probably what I would do first.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to look at a friends copy she received as a gift. I love the cover quilt but my favorite has to be big baby!! it's a great book and you did a wonderful job on your designs. I love the entire book
ReplyDeletethank you
sara
At each stop on the blog hop I kept thinking, "Oh, I like *this* one the best!", but I finally settled on Pretty Petals.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover quilt....the Dresden. It is lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love them all! I would love to try Big Baby as a baby gift-- so fresh and modern, and it looks easy!
ReplyDeleteI love Vintage Vibe and the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between Lovely and Growing Up as my favorite! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for this new book! I love the Dashing pattern. It's so hard to pick just one!
ReplyDeleteBig Baby is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYour book looks great! I like Big Baby. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
ReplyDeleteI would say Big Baby is my favorite after making 3 baby quilts last year. Fan4may at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteScrap jar speaks to my heart! This is really a great book FILLED with lots of great projects! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWould LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win :)
ReplyDeleteActually love all of them but Pretty Pedals edged the rest by just a hair :)
ReplyDeleteSugar Sweet for me - love it! Thanks for a chance to win such a fantastic book.
ReplyDeleteskeshlaman@comcast.net
I love dashing! So many beautiful quilts! I'm new to quilting so a book like yours would be awesome for me..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a beautiful book! All the quilts are beautiful, if I had to choose one I would pick "Big Baby". I love star quilts and I really like how easy it would be to piece. I know it would become a go to quilt for a quick but pretty baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your book! Pick only one quilt? Not possible! This is the first book I've seen in a very long time that I could easily make every quilt. But I can't get my choice lower than three...Skipper, Scrap Jars, and Pretty Petals. I'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteI like Growing up the best!
ReplyDeleteI like them all but if forced to make a choice, it would be Twirl. Wonderful book, would love to win!
ReplyDeleteI think Skipper is my favorite. It is screaming to be a scrappy quilt on my sofa!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide. I really like Pretty Petals and Sugar.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give away, hope I win!
Your book is so full of a well rounded variety of beautiful quilts. I still love the Dresden plate one for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love the scrap jar quilt. I love using up scraps and I like to fussy cut so the best of both worlds in that one.
ReplyDeleteI love them all! But I guess Scrap Jars is a favorite...thanks for a chance to win your awesome book!
ReplyDeleteWell, it is difficult to narrow it down, but I love Skipper and Big Baby. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI think that my favorite must be the cover picture. I love the colors and can't wait to buy the fabric and make it. Thanks for the offer of the book but I already bought it and I love it.
ReplyDeleteSugar sweet is the one for me!!! Beautiful work and beautiful book! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWHAT?! I have to pick just one?! I like all of them, but I'd probably choose Big Baby. It just looks happy. Wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new book. The quilts are all beautiful, but I am in love with "Playing Favorites". Looks like I need another book. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYour book is fabulous! All of the patterns are ones that I'd love to make, but my favorite is Scrap Jars.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Libra, making decisions isn't my strong point - it was very hard but I came down to Twirl and both Sugar quilts. Thank you for the opportunity to win a great book.

They are all gorgeous, but my favorite is the Dresden Plate. At least I think it's my favorite. Sigh, I keep thinking of some of the others.
ReplyDeleteTwirl and Sugar are my favorites. Thank you for the opportunity to win a great book.
ReplyDeletesascott4@hotmail.com
Congratulations! All the quilts are just wonderful but Vintage Vibe really "speaks" to me -- my bucket list just got longer.....
ReplyDeleteI like the Scrap Jars. It is like an adult "I Spy"!
ReplyDeleteHow generous! I'm a new quilter and now collecting books and patterns! This looks like a lovely addition!
ReplyDeleteI dont see the pattern names but the one that looks like little jars is adorable.. I love them all!!!
ReplyDeleteA book is a big achievement. I think I love the cover quilt with the dresdens the most.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Quilts, Scrap Jar is a special one
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to get my hands on this book since it was released. I love the aqua blue quilt with the plus signs!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful, but I think Skipper and Sugar Sweet are my favorites. The winner of this book if going to be one lucky quilter. Fingers crossed!

Wow this is a beautiful book filled with so many wonderful ideas! I am really drawn to Big Baby and Scrap Jars!!
ReplyDeleteSusie

ReplyDeleteThe cover Dresden quilt is my favorite. I love the colors! I truly gives off the vintage vibe. :)
ReplyDeleteHi there Amber,
ReplyDeleteAn autographed book? How awesome is that!!! I really love the Sugar quilt that is Pam Kitty's fave! It's so funny that you are offering this now as it was on my Christmas list but did not arrive AT ALL!!!

PS: waving frantically…'pick me, pick me', hee hee
Thanks for the opportunity to win a book! I LOVE Dashing!! The simplicity of the black & white & beautiful and I could see some other colors to switch out the black that would look great too! Congrats on your first book!!

ReplyDeleteI love this book and since it came out I've been wanting a copy! I really love the scrap jar mini quilt and I would love to make one! Thanks for a chance to win (even if I don't win I'm going to get a copy soon)!

Love these quilts! I think the first quilt I would try is Dashing... and then I'd try to do the rest. :)
ReplyDeletePicking just one is a hard job, but I love the Dresden Plate on the cover the most. Congratulations again on your great book. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove them all but if I had to choose probably Big Baby. Thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteI love Pretty Petals the best as Dresden Plates have always been my favorite pattern.
