THIS GIVEAWAY IS OVER!
The publishers of Jennifer Chiaverini new novel, Sonoma Rose, asked if I would review her yet to be released novel and host a giveaway! Of course I said yes! Not only do I love to read, I love hosting giveaways on my blog!
Here’s a blurb from the publishers:
Jennifer has always been praised for her ability to write historical and present-day fiction with equal skill. While her last novel was set in modern times, Sonoma Rose tells the story of a young mother’s heroic journey in Prohibition-era America.
Rosa Diaz Barclay is touched by the criminality surrounding Prohibition when she discovers that her husband, John, has given over the duties of their Southern California rye farm in favor of bootlegging. Fearing the safety of her four children, Rosa flees, carrying only a case of John’s ill-begotten cash and her mother’s two quilts. Lars Jorgensen, her true love and the father of two of her children, aids in her escape, and together the six travel north to San Francisco. Under assumed names, they are hired to work at a Sonoma vineyard, where Rosa creates a personal and professional identity that she would never have dared imagine at the opening of her tale, and one that brings great honor-and beauty-to all who surround her.

I’ve just completed 3 different sampler quilts for Christmas delivery. All of them are larger than my hanging space, so they drape onto the floor!
For Jan’s 2 samplers, she wanted very simple quilting so they both have a meander. The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton.
We based the thread color choice on the fabric used in the center, where the meander is slightly smaller to go around the applique. The thread is OMNI by Superior. The color is a soft gold, which for many quilts is like a neutral. I’ve used it on several quilts.
For the pink and brown sampler, we selected Superior Threads Choco Cherry Lava. The quilt photograph doesn’t show the color change as well, but it’s perfect for this quilt! This is a good one to add to your thread collection.
For Mary’s star sampler, we decided on custom quilting with different designs for each block, separate border designs and a featured design in the center! This one took some planning, but once I got started it just seemed to take on a life of it’s own! The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select and the thread is Superior So Fine #50. I took a lot of pictures so here’s a link to the front and back galleries.
