i love a new book

A fun knock on the door today when the Fed Ex man brought me this book that I won from a giveaway on Tanesha’s blog over at Crafty Garden Mom. The book is Block Party–The Modern Quilting Bee: The Journey of 12 Women, 1 Blog & 12 Improvisational Projects by Alissa Haight Carlton and Kristen Lejnieks.

It was a book that I had wanted when it came out a few months ago, but resisted the urge to buy. I’m so glad that I have a copy now. I’ve been thumbing through it this evening and I love the improvisational nature of the projects. It’s got just the types of quilts that I’ve been drawn to lately.

I can’t wait to get started on one!
