Yep, yesterday was good...

My tongue didn't get tied up too many times during my radio interview with Pat Sloan.  If you missed it, you can listen to it by just clicking on the logo below....

 My oldest son's review:  "Nice job.  You sound very Minnesotan".  Well, sure, ya betcha I dooo... Uff da!

Look what was on my doorstep.  

A whole box of Blue Hill Fabrics from the line, "Sarah's Stash".  I cannot wait to start this new book project!  Yum.

When I am at market I just can't get past the Dovo scissors booth.  I love, love, love their products. Okay, so I don't love them...but REALLY LIKE them!   I got these for different applique projects.

Just a little note that I will be running a Black Friday (well, really Friday thru Monday) Sale. 

Clearly Perfect Angles and all patterns will be 50% off and anyone spending $50.00 or more will be in  a drawing to win my book,

"Just around the Corner, Quilts with Easy Mitered Borders".

 Jump over to SewCalGal for a look at more sale specials.

 Martingale/That Patchwork Place also has a sale running....

 Tomorrow will be a good day too....my family starts arriving for a long weekend...can't wait!

Wishing all of you a very blessed Thanksgiving!

I thought Sherri's little project was adorable. Thanks for sharing how you would incorporate the technique. It would also be cute using the two-colored scallop.  Lot's of options....

Today is the last day for the guest bloggers, but check in with me tomorrow as I have a few more things to share with you before the winners are announced on Monday!

Last, but certainly not least, is a spunky lady who has quickly become a dear friend.  Roseann, from Rosebud's Cottage.  She is a shop owner, designer, magazine writer, paper crafter, etc. etc.  You don't have to look very far to see her infuence and creativity...she seems to be everywhere lately!

Roseann is talking a little more about specific projects in the book. Make sure to visit her site to see what her take is.

AND don't forget to leave comments on all of our sites for your chance to win the book, "Just around the Corner" and a "Clearly Perfect Angles"!!

Until tomorrow, I'm wishing you joy in whatever may be "just around the corner"!  Kari

Welcome to day 4 of the book blog hop for "Just around the Corner". 

I thought Heidi did an excellent job yesterday showing you how the mitering technique that is featured in the book works.  Really...it does turn out perfect everytime! And Really...thank you Heidi!! 

We are scooting back to the west today for a visit with Sherri from "A Quilting Life".  Besides quilting, I've discovered that we have something else in common...boys and football!  Although mine are already done with college ball, I still remember those "big" games and all the joy that came with sports.  Sherri...it goes waaayyyy too fast!

Now that you know the basic technique for the mitered border, Sherri is going to tell you about all the varieties that can be done with the technique.  Use your imagination, mix and match...it's up to you!

Just a little reminder...leave comments each day if you want to be eligible for the drawings ("Just around the Corner" & "Clearly Perfect Angles)!!!!  The winners will be announced on Monday so you still have time to enter.
