This week I’m giving away a slightly crunched copy of The Best-Ever Applique Sampler! This book will teach you how to appliqué the Piece O’Cake way. It is a comprehensive guide where you will find everything you need to know about hand appliqué. The written instructions are clear and complete. The photos are up-close and informative.

Leave a comment/reply on this blog post to enter the drawing. A winner will be chosen by the random number generator tomorrow.

I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

Mary Hubbard from Green Valley, AZ, saw our Whimsical Quilt Garden quilt on Pinterest, found the pattern, and made the her quilt. Isn’t it lovely! Mary worked on her quilt for about 7 to 9 months all hand appliquéd and hand quilted. She put on a different border that she saw somewhere online. I do love that border, it frames the blocks very well.

Thank you, Mary, for sharing!

The pattern is out of print but you can find the digital pattern here: https://www.pieceocake.com/shop/Books–Patterns/eBooks/p/My-Whimsical-Quilt-Garden-Digital-Download-x31059772.htm.

You might find an old copy of the pattern for sale online as Mary did, but before you buy, be sure that all of the pattern pages are with it.

Jackie Bailey from West Olive, MI, sent me this picture of her finished Searching for Beauty quilt. She modified the pattern a ‘wee bit’ to avoid a square quilt. I particularly like the way the dark inner border frames the blocks.

Well done, Jackie! Thank you for sharing your quilt with us!
