Goodreads Giveaway May 24-June 1

The Laird and I...out today!

Re-release! Dear Readers, How is your 2016 going? Mine is fantastic. I attended a quilt retreat for my birthday in mid-January and worked on projects that haven't seen the light of day in ages. I can't wait until I can go on another retreat! But enough about me...let's talk about books, price drops, tours, contests, and more! First, I'm so excited to announce that today is the re-release of The Laird and I in ebook. This novella was originally in Must Love Highlanders, the anthology I was honored to be in with New York Times bestseller, Grace Burrowes. This novella bridges the Kilts and Quilts of Gandiegow with a new series, the Kilts and Quilts of Whussendale. Old and new friends will be part of the new series. I hope you will love it!

Price Drop!!!

I wasn't kidding! This is a huge price drop! But don't wait too long, because it's only for a limited time! Tell all your friends to get their copy at Amazon Barnes and Noble iTunes

Calling All Quilters!

Cynthie, from IowaStarQuilts.com, is sharing one block pattern from the Gandiegow Matchmaker’s Quilt, which is featured in Some Like It Scottish, book #3 in the Kilts and Quilts Series (release date, July 7, 2015 and up for pre-order everywhere!)

All remaining blocks will be divided into groups and those groupings will be given away to you the Quilters! One grand prize winner will receive the Gandiegow Matchmaker Quilt pattern also. All winners will be selected by a computer randomizer.

For each block you submit, you’ll receive an entry into the quilt block contest. You may submit as many blocks as you wish.

Go to www.PatienceGriffin.com for the block pattern and instructions.

Due date for submissions…June 6^th, 2015.

ALSO…For every block you make, you’ll have FIVE extra entries into the completed quilt giveaway, too!

Happy Quilting and Reading,

Patience
