Whew. Monique is still talking to me.
You wondered about that too, didn't you?
First, let me thank everybody who hopped and left comments, or just hopped along to see all the quilts. Thank you!
I appreciate it. And I know Monique appreciates it.
Since there are some goodies to give away, let me announce the winners.
Yes, winners. Plural. Multiple. (There's a reason I keep a stash of rulers on hand.)
The Monique-centric goodie box goes to Shelley, aka Shelquilts. ::::applause applause::::
And an assortment of Open Gate rulers will be on the way to Julia P and Tania in Australia. ::::applause applause::::
Ladies ~ please check your e-mail boxes.
I wish I had hundreds of copies of this book so that I could send one to everyone but alas, I have just one copy of it. But if you'd like one of your very own, please feel free to harass the owner of your LQS into ordering one for you. Or you can get one here - Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts.
And...
Because I love Monique's rulers that much... and because this month's project for Sinta and Sherri's Year of Schnibbles is Summer Day and it has a lot of flying geese... and because some of you might still be looking to try the Fit to be Geese rulers... I'm going to give away three sets of Fit to be Geese rulers. That's a regular-size Fit to be Geese ruler and a Mini Fit to be Geese ruler ~ both of which will make the 1 1/2" x 3" finished size geese you need for Summer Day.
If you leave a comment here by Noon on Tuesday, Pacific Time, you could win the flying geese rulers of your dreams.
And finally, because I'm apparently not the only person who enjoys gratuitous pictures that have nothing to do with quilts, Monique or books...
Daniel Craig. From the upcoming Bond movie, Skyfall. Due out this November.
I'm thinking this picture might need to be the wallpaper on my computer desktop. :)




Oooooo - I'd love to win these rulers! Thanks for the chance!

Mmmmm' I'd like to win a swim with Daniel. A set of the rulers would be better though. I doubt he'd appreciate me in a bikini and I can drown my sorrow in a lovely Summer Day.
Posted by: Amy | April 02, 2012 at 02:58 AM
These rulers would suit me very well this month when I'll try to do a lot of flying geese. Since I have a hard time finding them here where I live so I'd like to be in the draw for them :)

Thanks for the giveaway! Love your blog!
Posted by: Johanna | April 02, 2012 at 04:31 AM
I love flying geese, I am drawn to that pattern. Whenever I see it in a quilt I save the picture thinking I will do that someday. I would be great to try a new ruler. Thanks for the giveaways!
Posted by: Diane Kelly | April 02, 2012 at 04:38 AM
I have yet to meet a AYOS Schnibbles, but hoping this month is the month. Ordered my pattern last night.

I just ordered my Summer Day pattern last night for April's Another Year of Schnibbles, but I don't have the rulers yet. I'd love to win a set. That's very generous of you!
Posted by: Dee | April 02, 2012 at 05:37 AM
Thanks for the ruler giveaway. I'm off to find the book.
Posted by: Wanda S. | April 02, 2012 at 05:45 AM
Great giveaway and love the Daniel Craig picture - what's not to love about a Bond update and ruler giveaway! Thanks!
Posted by: Judy BL | April 02, 2012 at 05:46 AM
One never knows what one will see when they click to your blog!! I would love to win a ruler! This book looks fabulous.

It would be super cool to win the rulers

Thanks again for your blog -- always interesting, always with some humour, and always, always with fabulous fabric creations, tips and trivia. Thanks for the chance to win some rulers.
Posted by: Debbie R. | April 02, 2012 at 06:23 AM
I like the Bond movies, thanks for letting us know about it. I would love a chance to win the Fit to be Geese rulers. Thanks Carrie.
Posted by: Carol | April 02, 2012 at 06:24 AM
I would love a chance to win the Fit to the Geese rulers! I Schnibbled the firt 2 months, but March alas, I had too many projects to finish, but the April Schnibble looks fun. I like challenging sewing and this looks like it will be a challenge. I was just in St George where I met you 2 years ago. That was one of the best classes I've been in and met so many wonderful people.
Posted by: Susan B | April 02, 2012 at 06:34 AM
I would love to win the Geese rulesrs! Thank you for the chance.
Posted by: Dara English | April 02, 2012 at 06:43 AM
I would love the chance to win the Fit to be Geese rulers. I have just the project in mind for these. Lots and lots of flying geese!
Posted by: shaun | April 02, 2012 at 06:52 AM
Congratulations to the winners! I made Summer Day last year using my Fit to Be Geese ruler! Just happens I'm using them to teach Monique's method of making flying geese at our guild meeting later in April. It sure would be fun to have a set to pass on to a couple of our members! Thanks for another chance to win!!
Posted by: Jan | April 02, 2012 at 07:07 AM
I'd love to win the rulers. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Jeanne Bishop | April 02, 2012 at 07:18 AM
How did you know a pic of Daniel would ease the disappointment of not winning the rulers and book the first go around?? Wow! is all I have to say.
I'd love another chance to win those Geese rulers. I have to confess, I made Lincoln a few years back and my geese left a lot to be desired, so much so, it's never been quilted. Thanks for having another giveaway!
Posted by: Diane | April 02, 2012 at 07:20 AM
I'd be delighted to win these rulers. Geese are hard for me . . . .
Posted by: Nancy, Near Philadelphia | April 02, 2012 at 07:23 AM
Hmmm. I haven't seen Daniel from that particular angle. And--it's all good! lol
And speaking of angles, I'd love to win some rulers. Thanks for the giveaway chance.
Posted by: Sharrieboberry | April 02, 2012 at 07:25 AM
Don't know what excites me more - the thought of winning those rulers or looking at that picture! Whew!
Thanks for the give-away!
Posted by: Marian | April 02, 2012 at 07:57 AM
Gratuitous photo of Daniel Craig plus rulers equals number one Monday blog read!!!!

Wow. Look at all those very lucky people. Congratulations to you all. Thank you for the great post you did too showing off all of the great things in the book and the wonderfully lovely extra pictures making everyone smile.
I would love to try the rulers. Thank you for the additional surprise chance.
Posted by: VickiT | April 02, 2012 at 08:27 AM
The rulers would be terrific. Thank you for doing a give-away!
Posted by: Kristin | April 02, 2012 at 08:27 AM
I would love to win Daniel Craig! I think everyone else is entering for the rulers so Daniel it is. Thanks so much for the opportunity. Oh wait, this giveaway is for Monique's rulers. OK I would love these too. Not as much as Mr. Craig but infinitely easier to explain to my boyfriend.
Posted by: Gretchen | April 02, 2012 at 08:36 AM
Well, I didn't take any chances and ordered my own copy of the book last week during the midst of the blog tour. Already have and it and dreaming over it... I would love to get any of the rulers as well! Thanks for the opportunity to win! Jennifer G.
Posted by: Jennifer | April 02, 2012 at 08:48 AM
I would love to have a ruler that would help me make more accurate flying geese. It seems to be a block that I end up making a lot! Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Linda Kay Smith | April 02, 2012 at 08:51 AM
I would love to win a ruler-I'm still not happy about how my geese turn out. Of course, there's plenty of practice to be had in this month's choice!
Posted by: Karen | April 02, 2012 at 09:01 AM
I have seen many blogs brag about the accuracy of these rulers, but I have not purchased any. It would be fun to try a new way of making flying geese!
Posted by: Julie in WA | April 02, 2012 at 09:01 AM
Boy do I need those rulers! I might need that pic on my computer as well :-)
Posted by: Kathy R | April 02, 2012 at 09:03 AM
Congrats to the winners and thanks for the chance to win some more! I'd like to do a goose chase sashing someday and one of these ruler sets would sure help out!
Posted by: AnnieO | April 02, 2012 at 09:04 AM
