But first I want to share a special project with you. Last year I got to know Sharon at Fabrics and Flowers when I entered a giveaway on her blog. I won! She is a very talented designer and publishes under the name Color Girl. I made the quilt in the pattern and was so happy with it. After chit chatting back and forth she asked if I would mind proof reading patterns once in a while. I jumped at the chance.
She has just designed a fan quilt called "Twirling Fans" and I got to proof it. Not only did I proof it I made one of the blocks. I thought it would be soooo hard but with her directions I made the block in a day. She said I could share my block with you.
I pulled all of the fabrics from my scrap bag. I could not believe how quickly it came together. So please stop on over to her blog and check out the pattern. Just click on the link above. You won't be disappointed.
Congrats to the winners from last weeks Giveaway.
Now for the second Giveaway. Monday is my 25th Wedding Anniversary. What better way to celebrate than to have a giveaway of a book by one of my favorite authors and designers.
I love her designs so much that I purchased the book twice. lol
For a chance to win the book leave me a comment that you are a follower and tell me what you like about Kim's designs.
For a second chance to win blog about my giveaway and let me know.
You have until Friday night to enter, a winner will be chosen on Saturday, February 15th. Good Luck!!
Hugs, Cathy
P.S. It is starting to snow here yet again. Boo hoo!

I would LOVE to win this book! I love Kim Diehl's designs, first because they are scrappy and cozy looking with appliqué that isn't super hard.
That twirling block is really neat. I love Kim's designs because of her beautiful color combinations and use of scraps.
I have wanted to try the twirling block ever since I first saw it posted. Happy Anniversary today!! Have seen several items in this book that look great. Thanks for a chance at winning it.
I enjoy reading your blog and looking at your pictures. You are inspiration. I would appreciate having the chance to win Kim's book, and look forward to following your blog. Thank you! Leslie
I love Kim's use of color and design. If I won this book I would enjoy making a number of the quilt patterns for the Santa Train (sponsored byKingsport, TN Chamber of Commerce)recipients. thank you!
I would love to win that book and how nice to proof patterns - that twirly fan is very unique! No snow up here for a long time now...(2" doesn't count as snowfall). Stay warm and thanks for the chance to win.
Happy Anniversary!! Love your fan block. I'm really in a week of how much you've gotten done this month. I'd love to win the book by Kim. Her designs are always so pretty and so country--a perfect combination.
That was supposed to be in awe.
