Would love to win this American Summer Book. Love lighthouses and all things nautical. What a fun quilt this would make!
I love all thinks New England (being a Mainiac at heart) and these designs remind me of living in Maine…
Never took a coast vacation as a kid. Did visit the gulf coast once as an adult and the west coast once. Being a product of the midwest, spent LOTS of time on lakeshores, so would love this book as a way to bring the ocean inland!
Would love to win this book! It looks fabulous! I love their fabrics and designs.
Wonderful colors and patterns…lovely.
Looks like a good one.
Would love to win….I love this book!
Went to Galveston when still a kid. Mom nearly went crazy trying to keep the sand out of our camper!
There are several I would love to try!
We need all the American pride we can get. I love their spirit and the fun of this book.
I love the seashore! Vacations on the Oregon & Washington coasts with my family, have been some of our best vacations. This looks like a great book, I’d love to learn the rug hooking, another thing on my list.
I would love to win this book! My favorite Beachside getaway is Port Aransas. The patterns look like ones I would love to make!
I’d love to win this book!! Thank you.
I never saw a beach or the coast until I was 19 years old and have now been to the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coast. I like the calm of the Gulf and adore seashells! I love the “Patriotic Constellation” quilt-thanks for the chance to win!
I never saw a coast until I was an adult. I have been several times since then, but I prefer an inland beach.
interesting! i love lighthouses.
Lived in Charleston, SC for some time. Between the water and the secret gardens, I’d love to someday retire there
I’d love this book! Brings back happy memories of a Cape Cod vacation, and such a nice change from my desert surroundings
I didn’t get to see the ocean until I was an adult. My first time was on Assateague Island where the motto is “I gave blood on Assateague Island” due to the mosquitoes. It’s true!!! The best part were the wild ponies that roam freely which was totally awesome.
We had lots of vacation trips with our kids to Maine & loved spending time at Pemiquid. Hope I win, thanks for the chance.
I love being on the coast(not necessarily the sand, lol) I’ve been all over the Caribbean but I love my days on the Carolina coast the most! Kure Beach & Ocean Isle Beach are so beautiful!
Would love to win the book! I too didn’t see the ocean until a couple of years ago – Vancouver & Seattle. Beautiful. I’d love to see more of the coast.
I didn’t see the ocean as a child. We didn’t vacation much except at my grandparent’s house. Now I live in California close to the ocean. Go figure! I love the Summer Roses quilt. Thank you for the chance to win the book.

I would love a chance to win the new book, I love Polly and Laurie’s books and how they have quilting and rug hooking in them. I love to do different textiles, so books that have projects like this are wonderful. I love the shore and i live near the coast, so I can enjoy the beaches whenever I want. My favorite place to go is Acadia Maine, love the area and find it so inspiring.
Debbie
I love the rugged coastline of Washington state and had a wonderful trip to the Maritime provinces last year and really enjoyed the Northern Atlantic.
I do love to change the things I display according to the seasons! This book looks so awesome! Pick me, pick me!
I was landlocked in Missouri for my first years and the middle of Texas in retirement but spend all the inbetween years on the Texas coast and love all but the hurricane danger. Would love your book. Doris
We always went to Conneaut Lake, PA every summer. I have so many happy memories of that place! Thanks for the chance to win.
Love Polly Minick her book looks so fun:) What a great giveaway!
I grew up on an island so every day was near the coast. I love the sea and I love to spend my summers by the beach. I also love winter near the beach as storms over the ocean are the best!!!
Thanks for the chance to win a fun book
I grew up in Louisiana. The closest thing we had to the beach was The Gulf of Mexico. I remember going with my family to visit my Aunt and Uncle who had a beach house just outside Freeport, TX. Thanks for the memory reminder!
What a neat book…hope I win!
Living by the Great Lakes as a child, we did not need to see the oceans to enjoy the beach. I do enjoy the coast of Maine and also the Oregon coast. The book reminds of those visits to the beach. Thank you for a chance to win it!
My favorite beach is Panama City, Florida. This book reminds me of times we spent on the river and sitting in the porch swing. Thanks for the chance!
I love the beach.. hope to win. thanks
