I can't think of a more appropriate giveaway after posting about MODA then Kimberly Einmo's book Jelly Roll Quilts & More. I had the pleasure of meeting Kimberly in Minneapolis for Spring Quilt Market and yes, she is as friendly as she appears to be. :)
Kimberly's book, Jelly Roll Quilts & More , provides excellent instructions and lots of tips. Her writing style is easy and relaxed; almost like a friend is sitting next to you telling you what to do next. You won't be wondering what to do with your MODA Jelly Rolls or the 2 1/2 inch strips you cut with your GO! or Big Shot Fabric Cutters after reading this book. The "& More" means you also will be using your layer cakes, charm squares, etc too.
There may be a new review of Jelly Roll Quilts & More but the most recent I am aware of is in the August 2010 American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. If you have the magazine run get it and if you don't, run buy or borrow it.
Oprah made the big mistake of not listing to me and she had to try the Reliable V50 herself before she believed it was as good as I said it was. Apparently Better Homes and Gardens is the same.....I could have told them about Kimberly's book too!! LOL (Some days that IHAN chick is just full of herself isn't she? Geez....:)
This is one of Kimberly's quilts, Half Hearted, from her book. This is an "Easy" level pattern....cheerful and fun isn't it?
Kimberly not only autographed a copy of Jelly Roll Quilts & More to be given away to a very lucky IHAN blog reader.....but she also included one of her Easy Heart Templates too! Do I hear three cheers for Kimberly? I thought so :)
So if you would like to be the lucky IHAN blog reader to win the book and template, leave a comment on this post. If you have made one of Kimberly's patterns or taken one of her classes I'd love for you to leave a comment about your experience as well. The winner will be drawn Wednesday September 29th .
Smiles,
Kelly
That really looks like a good book Kelly! I haven't make any of Kimberly's patterns, have you?
ReplyDeleteI love working with precuts, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them. Sounds like I should have this book, right?

ReplyDeleteI bet this would be just the right inspiration for all those strips. I love Jelly rolls but I'm running of out my own ideas! Thanks for the chance. Lynne
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly, did you know that Kimberly lives in my city? I've never met her, but found this out when one of her quilts was "stolen" from a LQS after she did a trunk show. This sounds like a great giveaway. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYay! Yay! Yay Kimberly! And yay IHAN too for your fun blog posts and generous giveaway!! Have a happy day!

Yeah!
Yeah!
Oh no, I am the first, oh well. I have The Jelly Roll book and love it, I have made many quilts from it. Would love this book, thanks for the give away
ReplyDeleteI haven't had one of Kimberly's classes, but I'm sure the book is a great instructor on its own. I read the review and it looks good. Thanks for the giveaway. Kathie L in Allentown
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this book and the template! I really enjoy working with jelly rolls and think that's a fabulous way to buy fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid giveaway! I always love looking at new quilting books and using new templates! I have a couple of baby quilts to make and the heart quilt would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting..
I knew I was saving my 50 jelly rolls for this.....
ReplyDeleteThree cheers to Kimberly! And four cheers to you for having another great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I had just picked up that EXACT book and leafed through it at the bookstore today! Really!! And I saw that heart quilt, too! I didn't buy it, and now I know why....because I'm going to win it by posting a comment! Life is sure full of surprises....
ReplyDeletePrecuts make things easy; always love getting more ideas.

Thanks for the chance to win! It looks like a great book. Love heart quilts.
ReplyDeleteInteresting book. Will read the review in my magazine'
ReplyDeleteI have never used a jelly roll, but would be easier than cutting strips and I do want to make some strip quilts.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love the heart quilt, what a great book!
ReplyDeleteLove those hearts!
ReplyDeletePrecuts are my favorite way to buy fabric. No big stash storing problem for one thing. A lot of jelly rolls will fit on a closet rod!
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by the wonderful patterns made from pre cuts and would love to win!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! That heart quilt is ADORABLE!!! I dont' think I could ever make anything that cute!! Love it!!! I've got a pile of 2.5 batik strips just laying waiting for me to do something with...this is the answer!!
ReplyDeleteThere is amazing excitement in your words - I will certainly purchase 'Jelly Roll Quilts and More' and have fun using the book in a Quilt Group.
ReplyDeleteThanks
'Carolyn'
I love that heart quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book and the template! Thanks IHAN & Kimberly! I haven't made one of her quilts, but I would love to use my pre-cuts with the book!
ReplyDeleteI love that heart quilt...wouldn't that make a sweet baby gift? I have so many jelly rolls, and will check out that book for more ideas on how to use them.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice prize!! I haven't gotten too into the jelly rolls - maybe I need a little push such as a book that tells me what you can do with them!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a heart template before.. that looks like real fun!
ReplyDeleteThe heart quilt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove working with jelly rolls :)
Three cheers for Kimberly and for you also. Since I got my GO, I have so many strips and could really use some ideas. I just keep cutting extra everytime I need just one, now I have a jellyroll the size of Manhattan, maybe they'll make a movie out of it.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute quilt! It would make a good grandkiddo gift. The book looks interesting. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteReally nice heart quilt. This would be an inspiration to use some of those Jelly Rolls I just had to buy.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the book. I've been buying more jelly rolls cos then I get some of all the fabrics in the line and don't have to limit myself. I consider that frugal, but don't tell DH cos men don't seem to understand logic like that! LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good book to motivate us to use those jelly rolls.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt - would like to attempt that pattern - great giveaway! Thanks for a chance! Teri Dingler
ReplyDeleteKIMBERLY'S BOOK LOOKS LIKE LOTS OF FUN!
ReplyDeleteNow that would be fun to win!!

ReplyDeleteI have Kimberly's 1st 2 jelly roll books and they are excellent! I would love to win a copy of Jelly Roll Quilts & More!
ReplyDeleteI haven't make any of kimberly's quilts but, the heart cutter looks like a must have.
ReplyDeleteI recently made a quilt using a circle cut template and was amazed at how quickly it came together.
A heart quilt would be amazing
I have become addicted to jelly rolls - but have run out of ideas of what to do with them! LOL. I think I could really use this book, for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - that's the EASY level? Maybe so, if only I had a template and directions! Ah, a gal can dream, right? Thanks for the opportunity!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been doing the circles quilts, sooo a Heart Template and book sure would mix up my quilt world! Thanks so much for the giveaway - hopefully one day Kimberley will be in my town and I can take a class!
ReplyDeleteWould love to own this book!!! Please count me in on the draw.
ReplyDeleteI love hearts, have never made a heart quilt. Thanks for the give away
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good book. I have yet to make a quilt with precuts - I ordered my first jelly roll so if win this book could be ready!
