Book Review ~ Pat Winter's New Book!

"Pat Winter Gatherings ~ My Crazy Quilting Journey" Pat's JUST published book has arrived!!! I've had it just a few day's and it is already well broken in from reading and rereading , falling asleep with it as I read in bed 2 nights in a row and showing off to my family and friends. I am SO proud of her.

It is a wonderful medley of her stitching and garden intermingled with bits and pieces of her life.She shares her favorite threads, techniques and her best sources.You find yourself coming along for the ride as she expresses her creative mind and you get to "sneak a peak" at some of her stash. Most important ~ it is chock full of eye candy from cover to cover!

I had just "showcased" 2 of Pat's altered children in a little Ikea frame and was so excited to see one of them in her book. One of the projects is a crazy quilted hair comb. I made the blue one shown last night using her simple instructions ~ it was a delight to make!

You can order your own copy directly from Blurb http://www.blurb.com/home/3 or save about $5.00 on shipping by ordering from Pat's Etsy site http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=80476

I encourage all of you to take this journey.

As Pat says on the last page ~ ~ ~

" I'll see you in my garden........"

My Endless Hug From Pat

Just look at the beautiful treasure's that landed on my doorstep this week. Never has a simple etsy purchase made me feel so special and loved. Most anyone who has stumbled onto my blog has been to Pat Winter's first. http://gatherings100.blogspot.com/ She is the angel of blog land in my eye's and has done so much to promote kindness and goodwill. Her work is a treasure to behold and the love weaved through her work is felt by the receiver of it. Thank you dear friend for making my heart skip a beat and for the endless hug I will feel wearing your work's of art! http://patwintergatherings.etsy.com/

Etsy purchase from Umintsuru

Pictured is an etsy purchase I just received! I first saw the link to Wendy's blog on Pat Winter's blog http://gatherings100.blogspot.com/and went gaga when I saw this necklace that she had hand crafted! I am so bored with typical department store jewelery. These hand crafted pieces have heart and soul that can be felt when you wear them. She also included these lovely matching earrings and everything arrived in such lovely packaging! I am so pleased with her jewelery and encourage you all to go take a look at her beautiful work! http://www.umintsuru.blogspot.com/

p.S. It was very exciting to receive a package from Singapore!
