I decided to extend my giveaway for a couple more days. I didn't get a chance to log in last night, and my dear cute Nadine from The Material Girls (where I used to work-it's a darling shop and you can shop online too. ) posted about my giveaway yesterday too- so it seemed a good idea!! So sign up you still have time!
Sign up through Cinco De Mayo 9PM MST
Everyone loves a giveaway right? Well, my new book is hot off the presses and I am giving away a copy of it to 2 lucky winners!
TidBits from Triangles is all about making Half Square Triangles the easiest way possible and making them accurate every time. I have written great instructions, lots of graphics, and 10 EASY patterns that are all fun to make. The patterns all use larger triangles and most can be made in an afternoon or two. It is so fun and I hope you all love it as much as I do!
Here is what I need from you:
Go to my photobucket page here and scroll through the different photos of the 10 projects in my book. Come back here and leave a comment telling me what your favorite projects are (telling me they are all your favorites won't work!). I need you to name names- the title of the project is the title of the picture. Tell me which ones you would like to make in the comments and you will be entered to win.
One chance to win per person, even steven.
the retail price is $18.00 and shipping is $3.50. The books will ship Monday May3rd.
For the price of 2 patterns you get all 10 patterns, lots of yummy easy recipes like Lemon Chiffon Cake, my Aunt Maggie's Peanut Butter Cookies (these get raves every time I make them!), and loads of helpful quilting tips.
There is even a bonus at the end called "Little Bits" which tells you how to make a small version of five of the patterns in the book-- It's like getting 16 patterns for less than $20!!!!
Giveaway ends Sunday May 2nd at 9PM MST.

I love the Zig-Zaggity quilt! The colors in it are amazing, and it looks like it's an easy quilt to sew. I like all the quilts, but that one is my favorite:-)
Ooooh I like them all but my favourite is the Zig Zaggity quilt. I have had this quilt on my to do list for a while. Thank you for sharing
Nicely done~!!! Congrats and good luck with your book~!!! I have to say I'm drawn to both Zig-Zaggity and Tabletop Tidbits. The colors you have chosen suit them both so well!
It looks like it's going to be a wonderful book. I love the Zig-Zaggity quilt and my second favorite is the Blossoms and Buttercups quilt. That is so exciting you've got your book done. Congratulations!
It's a toss-up between Friends and Neighbors and Little Bit in Give it a Whirl
It looks like any of these patterns will work up nicely.
Hugs,
Gerry
It's a great book. Congrats! I would love to make Grandma's little helper pincushion caddy, but also the Zig Zaggity quilt.
And, and ...
I am going through a bit of a bag faze at the moment so The Totally Me Bag really stood out as a favorite, but so did the Grandma's Little Helper Pincushion Caddy (I like the one with the frill around the pincushion better than the plain one - is that just jumbo ricrac?).
I love Friends and Neighbors! Congratulations on your book too!
I like the Table Top Tidbits - cause I'm always looking for a nice pattern for my table. I also like Ziggity Zaggity. Count me in!

All these patterns are amazing but Simply Stripes is absolutely so cool! Thanks for entering me in your sweet giveaway :-)
I would make the Zig-Zaggity quilt. I like the bold design. And I love the Meadowlark Table runner for it's colors. The Tabletop Tidbits would be also great as a baby quilt. Love the pinks in it.
I love Tabletop Tidbits and a close second is Friends and Neighbors. Great giveaway, thanks for offering it.
Zig-Zaggity is really cute!
I think Give It a Whirl would be fun to make.
Zig-Zaggity is my favorite.
Grandma's Little helper Pincushion Caddy is great but my fav is the Zig-zaggity quilt. Of course I would make the Totally Me bag, too.
I'm into table runners right now, so Meadowlark would be on my list of things to make.
Thanks, Kathy
Meadowlark is really nice.
Zig-Zaggity without a doubt! I am really into the zig zag quilt thing right now :)
Love the Meadowlark table runner and the Little Bit Primrose Baskets. I am new to quilting and these are great to work up to. Thanks for the giveaway!
So many to choose from and they are all great. But to pick one, it would have to be Little Bit Give it A Whirl. The pattern is so pretty and love the colors used. It would make a wonderful addition to my home.
I love the Little Bit in Primrose Baskets. I am a basket quilt lover. And the use of Buttons!!!! I have lots of old buttons. Neat idea for a quilt.
Zig-Zaggity!~ I think its the colors that got my attention first and how the zigzags stand out. I also like the Totally Me bag~ I love making bags! ;-) Congratulations and thanks for the chance!

Simple Stripes is my favorite and I would love to make that for my 10 year old daughter (or with her!She started quilting before I did), but I also love the Grandma's Little Helper Pincushion Caddy and the Zig Zaggety (great name by the way!)
This looks like a great book.
I love the colours and movement of FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. Beautiful.

I like friends and neighbors, zig zaggity, and tabletop tidbits. Those are my favorite and even if I don't win the book, I may just have to go buy it so I can do at least those three projects! Your pictures turned out gorgeous! Congrats on getting this lovely book published....
The quilts are all so nice, and the bag is wonderful too, but I think Grandma's Little Helper pin cushion would be what I would make first. I love it! And I could really use it on my chair where I do my needlework!
Great giveaway! Congratulations on your new book!
MGM
Zig-Zaggity for sure!
Jennifer :)
My fave is the Friends and Neighbors! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

There are many beautiful quilts in the book, but what appeals to me the most is the Friends and Neighbors quilt.
My favorite of all the cute patterns in the new book is the Zig Zaggety! It's adorable looks great displayed on the fence.
I love the zig zaggity quilt. The reds you chose were awesome.
I hate to sound like I am copying, but Zig Zaggity and Blossoms and Buttercups get my vote.
Congratulations on your book, too.
Hands down, Blossoms and Buttercups. It just looks like a quilt you would cuddle up under to read a good book. The colors are so inviting. Great job and congrats on the book!!

Meadowlark, Give it a whirl, and zig zaggity.
:)
Very cute.
Congratulations on your book!!!
Fair enough you're not allowed to say you would want to make all of them, but then, they all do look very pretty in their own way. Ok, if I had to choose, I would go for the Zig Zaggity quilt. But Tabletop Tidbits is very close to it (O:
Good luck w the book! Looks just great!! It's hard to find just one projekt to do... i like your zig zaggity and grandmas little helper.
I love the Zig Zaggity quilt though everything is gorgeous.
Tabletop Tidbits is my favorite quilt!
The totally Me bag would be my first project and then the grandma's helper. I like fast projects to complete and gift to friends and family.
I love the idea of a book using all the little bits. My choices to make would be the Primrose Baskets with the yo yos and Blossoms and Buttercups.
I'd love to make the blossoms and buttercups quilt.I think it's just gorgeous :) Barb.
I love the Zzig-zaggity quilt and the Just sew me purse. I just love them!
This is going on my mother's day list!!
I'm co-hosting a different kind of bee...come check out my blog!
I liked the tabletop tidbits with prairie points. Seems like a book that's chocked full of good stuff!
There are so many I like. I guess my favorite is Little Bit Primrose Baskets. Thanks for the giveaway!
Tabletop Tidbits is so pretty, I would love to win and be able to make that one up...I have plenty of fabric to audition for the part!
Oh how to choose just one. I love the friends and neighbors quilt today, tomorrow is could be blossoms and buttercups. What a wonderful book!
Definitely Zig Zaggity. Although a lot of the others would end up on my to do list too.
Love the Meadowlark Table Runner --- and Friends & Neighbors!
That Give it a whirl in Halloween fabrics tickles my fancy. I also want to make Zig-Zaggity with my Kaffe collection.
My favorite is the Zig-Zagitty quilt, followed closely by the Blossoms and Buttercups Quilt. Great giveaway, thanks for the chance!!
I really like the Zig-Zaggity pattern & have several jelly rolls that would look great made up with that pattern.
well what a choice,you have done very well here, congratulations!
My Favourite however has to be blossoms and buttercups. This would be follwed fairly closely by
zig zaggity,and the tote bag is pretty cute too!!
Love, love, LOVE the Meadowlark Table Runner.
They are all adorable though. :-)
Since you won't allow us to say "I love them all," I'll have to choose Little Bit in Primrose Basket. (But I really do think they're all adorable.) Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My favorite is the Zlg Zaggity quilt. 54x 63" seems a perfect lap quilt, and the colors are attractive. Congratulations on completing the book and thank you for the book giveaway. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
The Tabletop Tidbits is fabulous !!! Love it Love it Love it !!
Give it a Whirl looks fun but I think Primrose Baskets is my favorite :)
Simply stripes was my favorite. I think it looks like a window frame with the stripes behind the panes. Thank you and success with your book!
I like several but my favorite was the Tabletop Tidbits followed by the Give It A Whirl Halloween pillow. I struggle with half square triangles. I'm glad you have lots of illustrations :)
I really like the Grandmas helper pin cushion caddy project. Great idea to keep things all together while sitting on the couch. :) Also the Zig Zaggity quilt is so cute. I have been wanting to make one of those for some time. Really great projects in your book!!! Nicely done and I love your choice of fabrics!
I love, love, love the Totally Me Bag!!!
Little Bit in Primrose Basket is my first choice and Grandma's little helper is my second.
I like Tabletop Tidbits! They are all great!
I love Tabletop Tidbits. Love your fabrics too!
The ziggety zag and meadowlark are my favorite.
Congratulations on your new book.
I hope you sell a million. Looks wonderful.
Great book! I think the "Grandma's little helper pincushion caddy" would be wonderful to make. ♥
Can I get them for the shop? Any chance I can sign up for a trunk show? Let me know, oh, and the book looks great! Congratulations!
Nadine
My favorite quilt is the "Primrose Baskets" -- I love baskets and this pattern is definately calling my name! All of the patterns are so great -- and the fabrics you used are so fresh and pretty!
I like the Give It a Whirl Pillow in the Halloween Prints. I love pinwheels and Halloween. The pillow is really cute!
I think the block would make a cute quilt also.
What fun, Kari! A published quilter, I'm happy for you!
I really liked the Zig- Zaggity pattern and the Grandma's Little helper pin cushion and sewing pocket set. It looks like lots of fun patterns.
Your winner is going to be very happy to receive your terrific new book.
Thanks for hosting such a nice giveaway.

Great patterns, great book.
I love the blossoms and buttercups!
They are all wonderful, but the one I keep coming back to is the Friends & Neighbors quilt. It has such great motion, and a summer breeze feeling.
WOW, first of all congrats on your book!!
I really like Grandmas Little Helper, and the Meadowlark table runner!! I think those would be the first projects that I would make!
The primrose basket is so adorable. I think it is my favorite, but it is hard to pick. They are all so nice.
I love the Zig-Zaggity quilt! Greetings from Slovakia :-)
Ooh my goodness, so many lovely things to choose from, I love the Meadowlark Tablerunner, but I think my absolute favourtie has to be Blossoms and Buttercups in frolic fabric.......its stunning, has gone on my 'to do' list.......thanks for the chance for the giveaway
Congratulations on your new book. What a great collection of quilts! I like many of the projects, but think the Tabletop Tidbit is the one I would make right now. I have been looking for a pattern for a table topper for a while, and this one would fit the bill perfectly!
Congratulations on your new book....lovely projects. I love the Simply Stripes....so many possibilities. Thank y9ou for sharing.
Zig Zaggity is my favorite. Congratulations on the book. Thanks for sharing.
Great ideas and patterns. I love Friends and neigbors and I am also so drawn to Zig Zaggity!
I have a few baby quilts to make and I think Tabletop Tidbits, Zig Zaggity and Blossums & Buttercups would be perfect. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a cool book!
I have never been a fan of the basket pattern, then when I learned how to sew it I think I started to hate it. So when "little bit of primrose basket" caught my attention I was surprised, it is modern and fun. The other quilt that caught my eye was "simply stripe". In the last year I have been teaching a class on log cabin quilts so the basic row and furrow patter was neat, then to add a twist off what look to be window panes made the pattern fun and a must do.
I love the Meadowlark table runner and the Tabletop Tidbits. Can you tell I need some quick projects to make? Never too early to start making Christmas gifts!

I love Little Bit Give It A Whirl - I love the pinwheel look of it and how they pop out of the quilt. I will have to add this book to my list of wants if I don't win. Thanks for the giveaway!
How Colorful! I like Friends and Neighbors and Simply Stripes!
Friends and Neighbors and Simply Stripes are two of my favs. How Colorful!
I liked Little Bit Give It a Whirl - the fabrics were lovely!

thanks!
I love the table top tidbits looks like a great book thanks for the chance
I'm lovin' the Tabletop Tidbits. Definitely something I'd like to make. Everything is really cute!
I would make Blossoms and Buttercups first, cute pattern!
I love the Grandma's Little Helper Pincushion (although it really isn't little!!) It looks so nicely made and really useful! Thanks for the show and congrats on your patterns!
Oh! I must make the Meadowlark table runner for my mom! I hope I win! Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway!
Oh my! So many choice's! They are all beautiful, but I think my favorite, favorite are the Table Top Tidbits with Prairie Points and Table Top Tidbits. I adore the colors and the polka dots. I love, love, love them. They are so whimsical and magical at the same time!
I must also add I love The Totally Me Bag ...love, love the cherry one! It's totally ME!
Congratulations on your new book! Several quilts caught my eye, but my favorite is Blossoms and Buttercups. Thanks
Oh I love new books! I'm liking the Meadowlark Table runner. I hope I get it so I can make the rest of them though too.
Thank you for the chance!
I would definitely make The Totally Me bag. I love it and it is me! I even have cherry fabric!!!
I love the Meadowlark table runner and the zig zaggity quilt!
Tabletop Tidbits. Some cute stuff!!
I love the primrose baskets.
The blossoms and buttercups is the one I'd love to make. I think I'm beginning to approiach triangle madness so this would be handy. Thanks Jane
simply stripes is a classic--elegant and concise! Congratulations on your book--it looks like a winner!!
I like the little bit give it a whirl. I can already picture it in lots of different fabrics!
Meadowlark Table Runner is my favorite. I love the colors and it looks quick and easy yet elegant. I'll be making lots of those.
It was hard to narrow it down, but I have to say that Zig-Zaggity is my favorite. Congratulations on the book!
Totaly me Bag gets my vote!! Great new book!
I am drawn to the Little Bit Give it a Whirl quilt mostly because of the vibrant colors and placement of fabrics. I would love to win a copy of your book so I can learn make triangles and have them come out perfectly.
I love the Tabletop Tidbits. Beautiful colors.
Ooooo...I love the Tabletop Tidbits. The colors are wonderful together, so bright and welcoming.
Katy
This looks really fun...I am a zigzaggity fan too.
Well I love the book and if I don't win, I'm a definite customer. Your quilts have a great look to them. I like your fabrics and style. I think you've put together a well rounded book. I'm so happy for you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the striped quilt. So please tell me what fabric is in that quilt? I love the window pane affect and also the FABRIC!! I must have it whatever it is. Please tell me.
I like the Meadowlark best, it looks beautiful. Thank you!
Give it a Whirl is my favorite.
Simply stripes is my favorite. thanks for the chance.
Zig Zaggity for sure surity!
Love the give it a whirl pillow in the halloween. I have halloween quilts and that is a great compliment to them.
There are so many choices it's hard to narrow it down. But I finally chose Primrose Baskets. One thing I really like about the quilt patterns in your book is that they look like they can easily be enlarged (bigger triangles and squares, or more blocks, maybe with smaller triangles) or made smaller (by making the blocks smaller! So in that sense, there are a lot more than 10 easy patterns in your book!!
Brenda
Zig Zaggity quilt for sure..
I love the complexity of "Give it a whirl " Yes it seems to be based on triangles but with a great twist! I would love to give this one a try. Suz
BRAVO!!!! Congratulations!!! Looks terrific, Kari . . . so thrilled for you!
Blossoms and Buttercups in the Frolic is my fav! Love your designs!
Zig-Zaggity is very cute. I have seen so many zig zag quilts and like to make one myself...it is on my "to do" list.
Blossoms and Buttercups! Using Kaffe Fassett material. Bright bold colorful the pattern looks like it would be fun to make! Love it, Love it, Love it!
For me it is the Tabel Top Tidbits. The color combination is what first caught my eye and then the prairie points on the outside border would be a challenge for me.
If I am the lucky winner here is my email address:

I love the Blossoms & buttercups! It is my favorite but they are all wonderful
Hope I win your awesome book!
Sue

I think that Zig-Zaggity wins for me ... with the prairie points quilt a close second.
I really have to make a zig-zag quilt one of these days!
They are all pretty, but my fav has got to be tabletop tidbits. Great projects!
Well thank you for a chance to win...I have to say this book is gonna be a big seller...every pattern is a winner :0)
I think Little bit in Primrose baskets with the pretty little yo-yo's is my favorite.....and the pincushion..too cute.
Nice job!
Happy sewing
I must say Friends and Neighbors Quilt is my favorite followed closely by Blossoms and Buttercups Quilt
I like zig=zaggity
i like the red and black but
would do orange and blu
Blossoms and Buttercups was my favorite pattern. I liked both of the quilts but the Kaffee Fasset was my favorite of the two. I had several that I would like to make but you said to just name one. Edith
My favorites were Friends and Neighbors and Zig Zaggity. I have quite a stash and they would be great to use some of it up!! I also like Grandmother's Helper Pin cushion Caddy. it look like a nice gift to make & give to others.
I really love Zig Zaggity exactly as it is. I would like to make that one soon. I also think I would like to make Blossoms and Buttercups as a baby quilt. I am anxious to make some table runners, and your Meadow Lark is stunning. Thanks for sharing with us.
For me it is a tie between zig zaggity and the meadowlark table run, but if I am forced to choose, it would be the table runner. I am teaching myself to sew because I am a math teacher and I have started tying my geometry lessons to quilting. I see squares, triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, the pythgaorean theorem, angles, rotations, symmetry and many other lessons springing from the table runner. I would love to make it over the summer and have it hanging in my classroom when we retunr in the fall. I think seeing it would also cause my colleagues to think outside the box for their math lessons!
I'm going to have to go with Friends and Neighbors. Very sweet and simple.
I love Grandma's Little Helper Pincushion Caddy!
Good luck with your book.
M.
OH!! I LOVE the Meadow Lark table runner!!
I would definitely make this!
Congrats on your new book, and may enjoy much success with it!
I LOVE the Tabletop Tidbits with Prairie Points! I love the colors you used too!
I love the Grandma's little helper Pincushion caddy. Looks like a perfect project for on the go!
And congratulations on getting published.. that's no easy feat!
I love the Zig Zaggit mostly because I love the fabric in it the colors are so cute togeather. I also love the Primrose Basket and your Grandma's little helper pincushion caddys are darling and would sure come in handy.
I like the Friends and Neighbors quilt. Love the colors you used.
Mis favoritos meadowlark table runner, primrose baskets y zig zaggity. Lo siento no pude elegir solo uno. Gracias por su regalo.
I have two favorites, Friends and Neighbors and Blossoms and Buttercups. I would love making either one or both.
I would love to win your book !
Trish www.quilttalesandcattails.com
I would make the Table Top Tidbits with prairie points. Zig Zaggity would also be on my "make it" list. Thanks for the preview and congrats.
Friends and neighbors. I love the colors and who doesn't need more friends and neighbors?
