Nice work! Thanks for the chance to win!
What great colors and designs. Thanks for the opportunity.
How wonderful to be included in the book. Congratulations.
I love Tess of the D'Urbervilles if you haven't already read it.
Oh gosh, I think just re-reading your quilty library is what I like to do. It always seems to give me inspiration.
Weee! Silly Santa did not put this book in my stocking like I had hoped, so maybe I can win it! I'm totally going to geek out and have you sign your page at Sew South. ;)
Have you read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn? It's my favorite book ever. It's the only book I ever re-read.
I don't think my library is the same- we love Michael Vey books- ;) Have a marvelous day!
Christy! or the Mitford serise :)
Congratulations!! What an honor!
I highly recommend The Persian Pickle Club.
Ive just started Divergent, Ive heard good things and its good so far. I like to read some of the teen fiction out there before my girls do, so i know whats up! Ive also got a pile of quilt books from the library i gotta get reading, like that new free motion book by Angela.
I'd recommend The Secret if Lost Things by Sheridan Hay. Really a lovely book and I enjoyed it!
Congratulations!!! I would like to read Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker so I recommend that one. Enjoy your happy day!

This is the year I want to make a modern quilt so my fingers are sew crossed ;D
Thank you for the chance.

Woohoo - Congratulations!!!! I can't wait to see the book.
My recommendation of your next book is actually a quilting book. I just bought 15 Minutes of Play by Victoria Findley Wolf. I love the stories and inspiration she weaves throughout the book.
Congratulations!
Have you read 'The Other Hand' by Chris Cleave??
Congratulations to you! I am in love with that book! I can't wait to get a copy!
Wow! Great book! And what a lot of suggestions for things to read!
I have recently read the first two books in Ken Follett's series, Fall of Giants and Winter of the Worlds. Books about WWI and WWII. thought they would be boring- so not!
Currently my reading time is spent on reading textbooks. I am in my last semester of my masters program, yahoo!! The first book I will be reading when I finish is The Harbinger. Congratulations and thanks for the giveaway. I can't wait, I have 8 more weeks and I can spend all of my spare time sewing rather than doing homework!!
This is a great looking book. I have been eyeing it myself. Maybe now I'll win a copy!
Congratulations! And I love any book by Dorothea Benton Frank!
Very exciting! Congratulations!

Ever since I read "In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson I've been recommending it to everyone.

The Stieg Larssen trilogy - I know it's been out awhile, but in case you haven't read it yet - it's a great read!!!
Fabulous book with great designers! Congratulations! Thanks for a chance to win!
it's an honor you have earned - congrats on being part of this wonderful book.
Congratulations on being published! Beautiful quilt.
I'll second the recommendation for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which is my favorite too. I'm currently obsessed with the A Song of Ice and Fire series which someone else already mentioned also. I've been extremely unproductive since I started reading them, so I'm not sure if I'd recommend them or not. ;)
Congratulations on your quilt being published!
Congrats on the book, that's awesome! If you haven't read it already, Cold Mountain is even better than the movie!
Congratulations-what an honor indeed! A book about quilts from bloggers would not be complete without you:). Ok, for a book, I'd say Ketchup is a Vegetable. I have been needing light, funny reads lately, and this SAHM book fit the bill. There were several times I woke my hubby up because I was laughing so hard!
Wonderful! Great job!
Your quilt is gorgeous! Congratulations! The whole book looks lovely, fingers crossed!
I am reading Casual Vacancy right now by J.K.Rowling. I like it a lot!

Thanks so much for the opportunity to win what looks like an amazing collection from some amazing quilters.

Congrats on the book! Taking a peek inside, and it looks wonderful! I'm new to quilting and this seems like a must have! Thanks for sharing some of it with us! :)
Looks like a great book, and I love your quilt! My latest book, the Name of the Wind, I thought it was un-put-down-able (how's that for a word!)
Gosh, I'm not caught up with my reading, so I don't think I could suggest one. But congrats on the book!
Right now, I'm reading a mystery called Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. You can't go wrong with the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris - there are 13 of them. Have fun!
Love this: "Modern quilting inspires and excites me because it blends the past with the future in a tangible form of comfort." Congratulations on your book!
Love it! I get to read LOTS of kids chapter books but not many adult books :(

I love your blog and your quilts. Now I can't wait to see the new book!
Congratulations! I would say Mrs. Lincolns Dressmaker or the Dean Knootz Odd Thomas series.
awesome collection of talent - congratulations! I think you should read Pride & Prejudice. It's my favorite and I've read it almost a dozen times - but it seems a fitting recommendation (even if you've already read it) since we are coming up on the 200th anniversary of its publication.
How exciting! I love yours. I also LOVE those trees. I rarely buy quilting books but I'll have to check this out if I don't win!
Congratulations! I think yours is one of my favorites!

bossypants by Tina Fey is next on my reading list!
I loved Drop Dead Healthy by AJ Jacobs. Congratulations on your inclusion in this book.
How cool, congrats!
Oh, and you should read some Janet Evanovich, she's always good for a laugh :o)
Congratulations! Love your quilt, it's one of my favourites from what I've seen of the book so far :).
Oh, and read some Ben Aaronovich, he's absolutely great, so inventive and with such a likable main character! (Disclaimer: You should like mystery and urban fantasy and a good dash of humour ^^.)
If you haven't read it yet, The Book Thief. So well written, made me cry.
congratulations!!! if you're into modern history(ish) - its fiction, nothing too historical, but WWI era - there is a new trilogy by ken follett thats out, books 1 and 2 are
I am always a fan of reading the classics!
Great give away! Thanks!
Love your quilt! Congratulations!
Congratulations! How about 'Pride and Prejudice' or 'Sense and Sensibility'? You can't beat an Austen novel!
Congratulations!
Anything by Mike Gayle is superb xxx
Have you read Tracie Peterson? She is one of my favorite authors!
missysaprons@gmail.com
I can't possibly recommend a book to someone who's tastes I don't intimately understand. It could be catastrophic!
This book looks chocked full of inspiration. Thanks for the chance. I just read Modern Quilts from Classic Designs--great book!
Congratulations on being in the book!

congratulations. That is very exciting.
Would love to own this book!
Looks like such an awesome book!
I really like Serendipity Bags - very well written patterns.
I'm surprised at the votes for the book series Game of Thrones is based on, only because I found the first one so full of violence of all sorts that I couldn't read any more, though I enjoy the TV series.
I just read "The Discovery of Witches" which was an interesting take on witches and vampires, if you enjoy that sort of subject I'd recommend it ;)
Thank you for the giveaway. Your quilt looks awesome, and so does the book.
Thanks for the chance to win! and congrats on being included in this book!

Just finished No Ordinary Time and Highly recommend it if you're into history. Congratulations on the book. You should be proud. You do some very pretty things.
Its not a sewing/quilt book, but you gotta read The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I was hooked as soon as I opened it!
Would love to get my hands on this quilt!
Congratulations! This looks like a great book :) I'm going to suggest Shadow and Bone (The Grisha #1) by Leigh Bardugo. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next book in the series!
Amazing quilt. Beautiful book. Talented quilters.

What a big deal it is being in a book - CONGRATULATIONS you so deserve it. I'm reading an awesome book at the moment it is call 11.22.63 and it's pretty awesome but not as awesome as this book because this book I could use over and over and over again but 11.22.63 once I finish it that's it and on to the next. But not with this one. I want it. Have you guess that yet????
Right now I'm reading History of the Medieval World by Susan Wise Bauer. It's really good.
Thanks for a chance to win!

I would love to win! I haven't read anything lately so no suggestions there. :(
If you like Science Fantasy I'd recommend anything by Anne McCaffrey.
congrats!! if you like harry potter, there is a fanfiction trilogy story about james potter (his son). :)
dancinapple[at]gmail[dot]com
Loving all the quilts in this book....and a chance to maybe win a copy!
What an awesome book - all my favorite bloggers in one place!
What book to read next... um, I'm reading The Book Theif now. It's pretty good. Also have the Blackdagger Brotherhood for a fluff read.
I love this book. I wish I could tell you what book to read. I'm not a big book reader. I quilt and read emails.
What a beautiful quilt...Congrats!
WAY TO GO! Very congratulations (though I don't think any of us are surprised!). You are very talented!
Congratulations on being published-so cool!
Congratulations on the book!! I'd still be squealing if it was me! Can't go past Gone With The Wind as a must-read classic! The sequel, Scarlett, is even better.
What book to read next? Hmm, next of my list is either Count of Monte Cristo (recommended by a friend). Although I'm pressing through Les Mis at the moment, so it might be necessary to follow it with something quick and light like Beautiful Creatures (Hunger Games really was quite fun, if you haven't already read it). If you like sci-fi one of my all time favourite authors in Lois McMaster Bujold (start with Warrior's Apprentice!).
Thanks for hosting the giveaway, your pattern is gorgeous.
I love the Ghost Hunter Mystery series by Victoria Laurie!
I would love a copy! Thanks!
Congrats on being published in a book. I understand your excitement. You should read Les Miserables. Try an abridged version that's shorter but well worth the effort if the entire book is too much.
Congrats on being included in such an awesome book. Thanks for the chance to win! By the way I am coming to Sew South, can't wait!
Great book!
Thanks for the chance to win.
A very big congratulations to you - you have done all the hard work and are a great quilting/sewing blogger! I have been to your blog many times -- you are an inspiration to me and I'm sure so many others!! margo, Victoria BC Canada
Woohoo! Congratulations, how exciting!
Looks like a really tempting book!
