Pass It On: Book Giveaway
Although I love having my books and I own more than I will ever use and there are many I will not part with, I thought it would be nice to pass some on. Therefore I am starting the Pass It On series for the blog. Once a month I will find something (or even a group of something) to pass on and share with my readers. I also encourage you to pass it on once you are through or maybe find something else you’ve had for awhile to pass on.
My first giveaway is the 4th book in the Elm Creek Quilters series by Jennifer Chiaverini, The Runaway Quilt. I’ve had this book sitting on my bookshelf for awhile and finally picked it up to read while my husband was in the hospital last week. I’ve only read the 1st book, The Quilter’s Apprentice, before this. Of course now I want to read all of them including the 10th one that will be out in November.
Although The Runaway Quilt has some reflections from the books preceding it, it stands alone in its storyline. The story centers around a journal and the quilts found with it from the ancestors of Elm Creek Farm unwinding a tale of suspense and hidden family secrets. It is based on the possible use of quilts as signals in the Underground Railroad. It also explores the role and strength of women during the era and the moral rights of all.
To win this copy all you need to do is leave a comment below and I will select a random winner. I would love to hear if you have read any of the other books or if you already practice the concept of Pass It On but you can say anything you want about yourself or quilting or to just say hi. You can leave a comment between now and August 28th. I will announce the winner by that Friday the 31st. Sorry but the contest will only be open to shipping addresses in the U.S.
Thanks for stopping by.

I hope your husband is feeling better after his surgery. My children started school this week, so things are quiet again in my house, apart from the epic thundering rainstorms…
This looks like a fun read!
