Barbara has been kind enough to write a guest post for me, so here she is:
Hello quilting buddies,
I am Barbara Cline from the great Shenandoah Valley of Virgina. If you have been following the blog tour you can tell I enjoy designing, piecing, quilting, teaching, family, friends and fellowship. I will try to include pictures which will help you get to know me better.
First I am a wife and mother of 5 children. They are very close in age. The youngest is 19 and the oldest is 23. O no, now they are leaving home so fast.
Yes, I really enjoy my quilt life but there is still work to be done around the house like canning, cleaning, washing and fixing meals.
Here are a few pictures of some of the patterns I have designed and you may order on my website Delightful Piecing http://www.delightfulpiecing.com/
A highlight of the year is when my sisters and I have a sewing retreat. This includes our Mother and nieces. We sew, laugh, cry and just have a wonderful time together.
I do have a blog site. Stop by and let me hear from you.http://quiltingal.xanga.com/
Tazzie here again :-) Be sure to leave your comment, and I'll draw the winners on Saturday evening. Good luck everyone!
Love the quilts from Barbara and I just know her book will be a winner.

What a great looking family.How fun to have so many women in the family who all share the love of sewing or quilting. I have 4 boys so I keep hoping they will find women who will want to learn, or already sew and/or quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks to be amazing and it was fun to see some of Barbara's other designs that are not in the book! Thanks!

Those quilts are amazing! How fun it would be to try making one!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful book. I've enjoyed following Barbara on the blog tour.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that Barbara does all that she apparently does (and does extremely well). She must never sleep. Too bad she can't package some of that energy to use as a giveaway prize. I'd love to win her book (and her energy).
