Haha! It’s probably not what you were expecting. This is not a book about vintage quilts or how to make quilts. It’s a quilt-themed novel, Everlasting Quilts, the 4th in Ann Hazelwood’s East Perry County Series published by AQS. I was contacted by the cover designer, who asked if he could use a photo of my bow tie quilt, and I agreed.
It’s not an exact representation of my quilt, because the designer used a detail photo of only 20 blocks and just tiled the photo to fill in the rest. Still, I think it turned out nice.
The publisher sent me two copies of the book to give away, so if you would like one, please let me know in a comment. If more than two people respond, I will use a random number generator to pick the winners next weekend.
I would love to read the book! Your quilt looks lovely on the cover. How fun for you!
So, Ann used to own my local quilt shop. One day I was in Barnes and noble grabbing a magazine and there she was signing a book. I think I bought two or three of this series that day. How funny to see this here!
How exciting for you!! Your quilt looks wonderful on the cover. I would love to read the book.
Congratulations, Martha. What an honor!
That is a beautiful quilt! Congratulations, you’re a cover girl!

Famous!
I’ve heard good things about this series of quilt books, but have not read any of them so far. The cover is beautiful and I would love the opportunity to read the book and pass it on to other quilter friends to read also.
More than two people, seriously! I love your blog so much I am in here trolling whether you have a new post or not. You are such a wealth of information and source of inspiration I am pretty sure I ready everything here at least 3 times or more. I rarely post on other people’s blogs but I wanted you to know there is someone out there that loves what you have done here and appreciate what you have shared. Sue
A beautiful cover! I have never had a book about quilting and think it just might be something to relax with and clear the mind.
