Hello Everyone,
This is really a new area for me in some ways and I have learned a lot! I have never made a selvage quilt, but hope to someday. The quilt below belongs to my friend Karen Griska, the Selvage Quilter! Gorgeous isn't it. Before anyone asks, no this quilt is not being given away. You will have to read through the post to find out all about the giveaway.
The picture below is Karen. She is truly a lovely lady and quite talented. Not to mention a wealth of knowledge when it comes to selvages! Today, I had the honor of interviewing her for my latest Podcast! This Podcast is just chock full of great information on everything selvages. You can click here to listen or download it from iTunes, just search for Jackie's Quilting Chronicles. This podcast you can actually view pictures of things that were discussed. So if you are sitting at your computer or have an iPod with a screen or iPhone, you will be able to see the images as we discuss them.
Okay, so onto the giveaway!! In honor of this very special podcast, Karen is graciously giving away 2 autographed copies of her book!!

I posted about you, Karen, the podcast and now I have three chances to win!!! Way Fun Jackie!
During the interview, I wondered about Karen's experience writing the book; did she write it and then find a publisher or did AQS approach her? I have heard of AQS declining many books that are later published by other publishers so, when you guys get together to do this again, inquiring minds would like to know...Thanks, Wanda

What a great giveaway. I will be checking out the podcast at lunchtime.
I can't believe I once threw away selvages! I love the use of the selvages with a solid color. I will be keeping that in mind. But it will take me years and years to accumulate enough selvages to make anything like that! Glad to see you on facebook.
Thank you for such a lovely giveaway - I'd like to enter if the contest is open to non-US posters :) I've been saving selvages for almost 2 months now - I can't believe I used to throw those beauties away, lol.
Sandra/Canada :)

My third chance to win - I've written about Karen's book and my selvage basket on my blog - quiltseventually.blogspot.com Thank you!
This looks like an exciting book. I have a couple of blocks made with selvages, just as an experiment. This book may be a source of inspiration on what to do with those blocks.
Even if I don't win, I may have to buy the book.
I have been following the Selvage blog for a long time on Google Reader, and was even featured on it once when I made the Great Big Tote Bag. :)
