Modern Basics {Book Review}

I am so honored today to be able to review Amy's new book Modern Basics.
Let me tell you a little story. About a year and a half ago I stumbled across this blog called Park City Girl. I was so excited because I live about 15 minutes away from Park City, UT and was ecstatic about the idea that there was someone so close to me that had such a fun blog. I contacted Amy and realized that she actually lived in a little town near Park City, she lived in Heber, the same town as me!
Amy and I exchanged several emails and finally met in October of 2009. Amy has become one of my really good friends since then. 
Shortly after I met Amy she told me a little secret about herself. She was writing a book! Amy needed a little help with the machine quilting of her 14 beautiful quilts and I was the lucky one that got to machine quilt each one of her quilts. 
While quilting these quilts I became extremely fond of Amy's unique designs, I loved how simplicity yet detail that each pattern contains. 
Above is a sneak peak of my favorite quilt in the book, it was very hard to choose but there is just something about this Knotted Squares that I love!
Right now you can pick up an autographed copy of Amy's book here. You can also find it on Amazon here.

Amy is also giving away a copy of her book Modern Basics. To enter to win a copy of Modern Basics simply become a follower of this blog and then leave one comment! Winner will be announced March 6, 2011.

You can enter to win this book each day for the next 12 days. Check out each of the blogs below to see how to enter.

    This looks like just the perfect book for me, considering where I am, skill-wise. When I first began quilting, there were mostly books on classic quilting patterns, and many difficult ones. Now there are several fresh, modern, fun and easy books that are making quilting a joy and a hobby that many more busy sewers can embrace! I look forward to this one.

    Amy's blog is one of the first I started reading -- several facelifts ago when was still parkcitygirl. Know that I would enjoy winning her autographed book. I once lived in SLC area and I've driven through Heber. Small world. I follow both of you and I'm delighted that your Mom won the McCall's contest.
