Can I just say how tickled I am to be part of this book, this tour, this whole experience? The people at My Stars and Kansas City Star have been wonderful. My co-authors are awesome. I'm really humbled to be in their company.
Here's a few "process pictures" of my quilt Happy Camper. I named it that because of the fabric line I used, S'more Love by Cosmo Cricket for Moda. Lots of campers, fish, owls, ya know, camping stuff. Had it had kayaks, I'd deem it the perfect fabric!

| Oh happy day when I finished the top! |
So, about the book. Would you like your own copy? Of course you would.
Leave me a comment below to be entered in the drawing. Tell me what you're thankful for this year. (Can never have enough gratitude, right?) Me? I'm grateful to be able to have a little time each day to do what I love. If you want to follow me on Instagram (I promise I won't bombard you with too many cat or food pictures!) or Bloglovin' (love my morning coffee and Bloglovin'!) leave me a separate comment for an extra chance. You can use those cute little buttons on the right. The contest ends November 27th (oh, what a good day that is! 21 years ago on that day I became a momma! ) I'll draw a name Thanksgiving morning.
Be sure to see my friend John tomorrow for another chance to win! I met John at market.

Grateful I live in one of the most beautiful parts of our country - western Washington, very near the Pacific Ocean. So beautiful here with temperate weather.
So glad to have seen your blog thru this tour!

Thanks for a chance to win a book. First, we just confirmation that I am the grandmother of an adorable 4 month old baby girl. My first granddaughter to three grandsons. And, I've been having double vision. I cannot even see to thread a needle. So, I am thankful that even though I'm anxious I'm having surgery next week to have surgery on both my eyes. Hopefully six weeks after that, I'll have a new glass Rx so I'll be able to see to piece again. God is very gracious. We are all blessed in the US for our freedoms and most of us take them for granted. Even people in other countries with many luxuries take them for granted and many people have sacrificed for these. Congrats on being published and thank you for the giveaway.
Love your quilt! I am thankful for God's grace and my family.

My DS's college is over a snow covered mountain from home (abt 5 hours away)~ the first year he came home for Thanksgiving they had a car accident, hit ice and rolled the car; and he took an ambulance ride to the nearest hospital. :-o Now, every year I am so thankful when he makes it home safely! Thanks for the fun!
new to your page, found you on the moda page. Very inspiring. I think it may have something to do with the name "heather" but I might be biased on that lol. Thanks for the inspiration, love your page.
