This one's on me. I'm giving one lucky reader the chance to win this favorite book of mine, shipped straight to you from the Book Depository. This is one title I'm always recommending and this weekend I'm happy to share my love of this title with another quilter. For everything you need to know about applique, this book is my most recommended resource.

  88. It's a busy weekend here! I'm taking part in a 26.5km walk to raise funds for research and treatment of childhood cancer. It's on Sunday and starts at the Sydney Opera House and finishes in Manly. So far I've raised over $400 in sponsorships from friends. I'd rather be quilting but one day away from my machine to give the hope of a lifetime to another is worth it. Maybe one day someone will come up with a quilt-a-thon instead!
