Five is the luckiest number that you'll ever do... no, I am so not singing or re-writing any more song lyrics. Well, not today anyway.
But five is a good number this week because Kathy Brown ~ aka the Teacher's Pet ~ has asked five of her buds, friends, pals, and posse to tell you all about her new book, More Take Five Quilts.
It is the terrific follow-up to her bestselling book, Take 5 Quilts ~ Quilts Made From Just 5 Fabrics.
If you hang around for five days this week, you could win one of the five books being given away... though I bet there are a few more than that. Here are the five:
Monday ~ Tara Lynn Darr of Sew Unique Creations. I think I met Tara at my first Market almost ten years ago. We were both just out of high school. She is flat-out, bar-none, absolutely one of the nicest people in the quilting business... though it was just a little annoying that she released 237 new patterns at Spring Market in Kansas City and every single one of them is an I-need-that-now-kind of project.
Tuesday ~ Rosie's Alter Ego
Wednesday ~ Pam-Viera McGinnis of PamKittyMorning. Pam was in my workroom this weekend. Well, not her personally, but her oh-my-goodness lovely fabric, PamKittyMorning was there and I was cutting and sewing and pressing to my heart's content. Though I think my heart is going to need more of that fabric soon... and the PKM Love. Visit Pam on Wednesday but watch out for the spider.
Thursday ~ Barbara Groves & Mary Jacobsen of Me & My Sister. I've known Barb and Mary for at least fifteen years, which means I know the "real them". I was there when Barb got up on the cutting table in the store to dance to a movie soundtrack, and I was there when she learned about the capillary action of water on sweatpants... and that's all I'm saying about that.
Friday ~ Vanessa Christenson of V and Co. While I haven't met Vanessa, I have met her fabric and Simply Color is Simply Terrific.
Make that six, counting Kathy - the leader of the pack.
As for life here on the home-front: it's hot. HOT. But good. I'll be back a few times this week... I know, I'll believe it when I see it too. Baby steps, right?
I didn't have any pictures of anything to share so I borrowed one from a magazine - one that I saved for my bulletin board. It just makes me happy and it is a nice almost-Father's Day sort of picture.
Until tomorrow!
Now go say Hi to Tara and Kathy!
oh looks like a great book, I Love quilts like this when you just want to whip up a quilt for a gift/donation quilt.....
and its a book I do not have, don't have her first one yet either, how did that happen?

Thanks for the grins, and congrats on your 10 year high school reunion coming up :) Love the cover quilt on that book and all the great folks hosting.
The HOT had my daughter coming out for the weekend from Scottsdale and being happy it is 40 degrees cooler here. We are deep into June Gloom, which will be followed by July No Blue Sky, and August Angst, so warn anyone coming to SoCalif not to expect sunny beach weather until September!
