Hello Everyone,
Just this week I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend, Marie Bostwick. For those of you who don't know who she is, she is a NY Times Bestselling author of some wonderful books, including the series pictured below.
If you love a good read about friendship, common bonds, quilting, and just plain fun, you will love these books. Any way, I interviewed her for my newest podcast Episode #13. You can listen to our chat by clicking here or by going to iTunes and searching for Jackie's Quilting Chronicles and subscribing. It is FREE! (While you are there, check out my other 12 quilting podcasts!)
Anyway, Marie and I had a wonderful morning together and I think that you will agree she is just a lovely individual with a talent for telling a great story and also a talent for quilting.
So if you have not read any of her books, you may want to check them out on Amazon or your local bookstore. But for one lucky individual, Marie has generously donated an autographed copy of her newest book... A Thread So Thin! It was just released at the end of April and I have finished it already. A terrific read!!
So here is what you need to do to be entered into the giveaway:
1. Leave a comment here and let me know if Marie's books are new to you or not. (1st entry)
2. Go check out Marie's Site by clicking here and register online and download your free quilting pattern. Then come back and tell me in a separate comment. (2nd entry)
3. Let me know if you are a follower of my blog, if not, become one and let me know, either way in a third comment. (3rd entry)
You don't have to do all three, but you have the opportunity to enter 3 times.
Remember there must be a way for me to contact you. Make sure that you e-mail is accessible.
The giveaway will remain open until May 23! On the 24th, I will draw the winner. In the meantime, check out the podcast and get to know Marie a little better.
The Giveaway is now closed. Check back tomorrow for the winner!
Oh, and my monthly newsletter for May is now available online here.
Until Next Time...

I have never heard of these books...I bet they would be a good read.
I absolutely love Marie's books. They are to be savored. I have even reread the first two in the Cobbled Quilts series. They are my "Comfort Reads" like comfort food for a reader. I am currently savoring each page of A Thread of Thin. I'm reading it very slowly so that it will last. I'd adore to have an autographed copy. I can't wait to load your interview on my Ipod. I'm currently away from home and can't load it on my PC. I'll have to wait until tomorrow night when I get home. I'll listen to it Wednesday on my commute to work. Again, thanks for bringing the interview with Marie to us!

My sis is sending me "A Single Thread", she just finished it. It will be my first read.
Registered and nabbed the free Broken Hearts Mending Quilt pattern.
I have been a follower of your blog for a while :) This is my third entry. Fun, thanks !!!
I've read the first two and have the third one in hand and started reading it. Just a few short months ago I had a giveaway on my blog and a lucky somebody won the first two I read. I was happy to pass on word then...and have been to her website. I'm not interested in the giveaway since I own them...I just think how neat you were able to sit and chat etc.
I needed some new books to read. I haven't read any of Mary's books before.

Are you taking international entries? I've never heard of Marie Bostwick before but her books sound interesting!
Hi Jackie. I have never read a book by Marie Bostwick. She was here in Okla City on a book signing at our local quilt store and I didn't go because I didn't know who she was...I am so sad. Hope I win her book.
I join Marie's reading club and downloaded the pattern..woohoo, this fun!
Jackie, I am a follower through Google Reader.
Her books are new to me, and sound great! Thanks for the post!
I'm registered, and downloaded the pattern.
Marie would be a new author for me.. but you have definitely intrigued me and I hope I am the lucky one to get started on her books.

I haven't even heard of Marie's books before. But I'm an avid reader and I'm sure I'd love them. I'll have to look for them but a good start would be winning this one!
And I follow your blog. By the way I got a new computer and I no longer have the problem of not being able to see your links. It's great. I think maybe my other computer was just too old.
I'm following you!
I did not know about Maria's books but I look forward to reading my first one even if I don't win one.
I haven't yet read any of her books but I'm certainly going to now!
