The Teacher's Pet
Strip-Smart Quilt's is a great book. It's not just pretty styled shots of quilts, it's excellent instruction and illustration and of course the designs are wonderful. The ruler is pretty darn cool as well. The whole book is filled with Kathy's southern charm and humor, not to mention her tips on piecing, pressing, pinning and G.R.I.T.S. (but you need to ask her about that!) And of course the most exciting thing for me, I pieced one of the quilts in the book for Kathy!
When she asked me what fabric I'd like to use I picked Bonnie and Camille's Bliss that had just been introduced at quilt market. I'm just showing a snippet here, I'll let Camille show off the whole quilt, it turned out so pretty!
Of course the book is filled with friends, Laurie and Polly's fabric on the cover quilt, and Monica's Holiday Happy here in the Penny Candy quilt.
Kathy made Daydream Believer in her own line of fabric Ella. I can make a little digital block unit from my own PamKittyMorning fabric till can make one out of the real thing!
I know I mentioned prizes and you're in luck! Just leave a comment today and Kathy is going to select a winner to receive not only a copy of Strip-Smart Quilts but also a ruler to go with it! Stick with us on the tour, I hear rumor of a grand prize at the end!!!
Ok everybody, have a great weekend, see you on the hop! xo

Looks like another great book to add to my 'want' list! And thanks for another great blog hop, I love these.
15 designs from ONE easy technique -- now THAT'S for me! I can handle learning one new technique!! And if I can use my leftover scraps -- even better!
This book looks awesome. And we Southern girls know what G.R.I.T.S. stands for. It's Girls Raised In The South ;-) Hey Ya'll!! Thanks for the preview of Kathy's book.
Looks like a good book!!! Congratulations on getting to piece one of the quilts for the book!
Now I want the book even more :) thanks for the sneak peeks!
Now that I'm machine piecing my quilts, new techniques are very intriguing. I really like what I see here. Love your photoshopped block!
Would love to test this book and ruler out! I'm going to love the hop. Thanks for your part in it, and I can't wait to see the full quilt you pieced. Looks very pretty.
It looks terrific! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.....have a lovely weekend! Piece....
The book looks great! Thanks for the preview.
Hops are always fun. This is my first one online. Looks like a great book.
Looks like a fun book! Can't wait to try it out!
I have lots of fabric that I could use for these quilts. Can't wait to see more about this book and the ruler.
I was recently admiring this book, so I was very excited when I saw the blog hop! I'm looking forward to the fun!
The book looks lovely would love to take a close peak inside, thanks for the give away
I would love to win the book and ruler! Love the quilts shown, and your digital block is the prettiest! Would love to see the whole quilt made of those fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win!

Ooh how fun! Looks like a great book. =)
Looks great! love to have a good look!
The ruler and book would be great, I am a newbie and need all the help I can get.
I like the look of the quilts you showed from the book. The designs look more complex than the usual jelly roll patterns, yet I bet the ruler makes them just as easy.
I can't wait to see all the quilts in the book. I've watched tutorials on this ruler and it's pretty cool!
Looks like a winner so I need to get it or win it.
Cool! I've made two Teacher's Pet patterns.
Looks like a great book! I'm excited for the blog hop!
Looks like a great book... I love the cover quilt. (and I love that blue print from your fabric!) Thanks for the chance!
The book looks like it has some great ideas for using up scraps too. Count me in!
This ruler looks amazing! I just clicked on your "ruler" link and watched the video. I'm always looking for fun new tools to share with my guild. Kathy's book is beautiful! Thanks for the sneek peek!
I have a ton of fabric I could use - but all the new fabric lines seem soooo much more appealing! Would loke to have the new book and ruler! Thanks for the peek!
The book looks like it is filled with great designs and the ruler looks like it would be a very exciting time saver. That's for me.
Looks, like a must have, this is my first blog hop, looks like it's going to be fun & informative. Nice bright start to the day. Thanks for having me.
So excited to see the book. Thanks for the giveaway.
What a great book! And that ruler.....count me in!

The new strip book looks like it is full of great new ideas for us!
I would love to win this book (and ruler) for some new inspiration. What a treat.
LOVE scrap quilts!! And love learning something new. Thanks for the chance to win!!
Good PamKittyMorning to you. This book looks like it is filled with wonderfulness. I would love to win a copy. Congratulations on having one of your quilts in the book.
One of the things I enjoy about a "blog hop" is the chance to "meet" other fun quilters and the exposure to their creativity. Of course, winning a book would be a big plus, too!
I saw the ruler at market and thought it was amazing, now a book to go with it. Pm your fabric is darling and I loved your booth everytime I tried to stop in you were really busy with others, hope things went well
Just beautiful what I can see. The quilts look very intriguing and I would love to win the book to try them. Good luck to everyone who enters. jndclark@gmail.com
This book looks like it has some fun projects. I'd really love to have a copy. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on being able to be a part of it!!!
That book caught my eye the other day! Those are some awesome quilts. Thanks for being a part of this hop and giving us a chance to win.
Looks like a great book with some great designers that used some great fabrics!!
A girl just can't ever have too many books or rulers. Count me in with the others who are coveting this prize!
This looks like a great book. What I've seen there are some beautiful quilts in it.
Oh my gosh, I would love love love to have a copy of the book and a ruler. I would also join a quilt-along too, this would be my first experience with that. How much fun would it be to do a project along with others? It would be awesome. I don't live near any quilters, and none of my friends are sewers or quilters. It's like a whole new world on these blogs, isn't it? Please come visit me at my new blog, Ric Rac and Polka Dots. I am brand new, but have lots of really fun stuff planned to share with everyone. I hope to see you there! And if I win, I'm in!!!!!!!

I have accumulated over 30 jelly rolls. They are just so pretty when all rolled up, but at the same time all wanted to be chosen and be used for the next project! This is the first time I am participating in a book hop and I love this book with all projects inside. Have my fingers crossed :-)
Rita from Montreal
This looks like a wonderful book so here's hoping!
I can't wait to get this book-- and I have a thing for rulers. My house, my life, my desk, heck, my sewing box is a mess, but the precision of a ruler is just the tad bit of perfection I need to overlook all the rest of the mess. Yipeeeeeee! (btw-- my fav thing in this post is the computer generated mock-up in your fabric-- delish!)
Thanks!
