A new giveaway...

Welcome to the Little Gems Blog Hop!

 Little Gems is the most recent book by Connie Kauffman published by Martingale and just released this February. The book features 15 mini paper pieced quilts.  Quilts measure 12" x 12" and can be made with a small amount of fabrics.

Island Batik is one of the sponsors of the Blog, and 8 of the Island Batik Ambassadors are taking part.  Each Ambassador selected one project from the book Little Gems and has recreated it using Island Batik fabric.  Be sure and check back each day to see the quilts made in new colorways with these beautiful batiks.  Look for a special prize of a bundle of Island Batik fabrics!

Martingale is another one of our sponsors.  They are giving away a free ebook at each Ambassador's Blog.  Be sure and go to each site to enter.

Ackfeld Manufacturer is our third sponsor for the Blog.  They create the great wire stands for each "little gem" you see in the book.  They are giving away a free stand - be sure to enter for that- all the "gems" look great displayed on the wire stands!

Our Blog Hop is 11 days of interesting projects, beautiful fabrics and great prizes.  Be sure to visit a new site every day.

  3. I deserve to win because I am a craft book hoarder and cannot afford all the books I crave. I use them too!

  7. Ooooo love these little minis. I have some of my own minis stacking up and no place to display them. Hubby won't let me poke holes in the walls to hang them. The Ackfield hangers would be the perfect solution. Can hardly wait to start on the Little Gems ...... maybe I should poke holes in his man room ...... Will be looking for the holders in my local stores.

  8. I have two of your Ackfeld hangers, but don't have a mini quilt to put in them. I think this book would be great to finally put something in the hangers.
