Flower Power Giveaway

For the record: I'm not actually giving away any flower power or any other kind of power. I'm giving away magazines. Not selling them like those kids who go door-to-door trying to get you to buy subscriptions so that they can win a fabulous trip to Europe. I'm giving these away.
I've got a project featured in the current issue of Quilting Arts Gifts and the lovely folks at Interweave Press sent me a couple extra copies. Though I have two eyes, I use them simultaneously to read, so I actually only need one copy. Thus I'm giving away the extras.
My project is a pair of groovy, shaped place mats called the Flower Power Place Mats. They're amazingly easy to make and super fun to use or, if you're the altruistic kind, give away.
They're also great stash buster projects as you can mix different prints and solids in each place mat.
This is the kind of project that makes you smile while making and the recipient smile in receiving. A real win-win situation.
So, if you'd like a chance to win one of the two copies of Quilting Arts Gifts which includes this project, scores of other fun, easy projects, and even some recipes, leave a comment at the end of this post.
I'll be back on Wednesday to announce the winners.

    Hi Malka
    I would love this magazine I never seen this one before. It must be a great feeling that you made your hobby into a career.
    I emailed you not to long ago about your book, I ordered and received it. I love Nate's quilt, and I am not even a quilt lover! But your quilting designs are beatiful.
    The flower power place mats would be perfect in my retro style (outdoor) kitchen. Please sign my copy if I win!
