Happy Sunday!
The title image shows a New Mexico inspired quilt that my sister made. It hangs on my living room wall and I love not only the colors that it adds, but the fun reminders of where we grew up.
But that’s the end of New Mexico nostalgia for a little while. We’re in the middle of our big Back-to-School Giveaway right now, and I thought I’d spotlight some of the prizes that we’ve got on offer.
I mentioned in the giveaway announcement post that we listened to y’all and worked to be make things a little more skewed toward paperbacks this time.
But we also have e-books! So hopefully there’s something for everyone.

I love the quilt. Have been a bit quieter this week as have been sick. still not 100%
I for one am glad you still have some ebooks as I find them much easier to read as I have wrist issues and holding a book can be painful where as the kindle or computer are much easier.
Stunning quilt, such vibrant colours!
I’m an ebook girl myself, so I’m with you about being glad we have both! Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks! I think she did an amazing job!
What a beautiful quilt!
Thanks! I have a talented sister. :)
I have always wished I could make a quilt….it’s a beautiful one, Elizabeth!
Me too! I’ve tried but they never look this nice
oh but your sister did a fabulous job on the gorgeous quilt. the colors are exquisite. what a wonderful reminder to have hanging on your wall. looks like another fun week coming up. thanks for sharing.
Love the quilt!! I love both ebooks and paperbacks, though I do read more ebooks now. Thank you to all of the Inspy authors for doing such a fun giveaway!! Y’all are the best!
She really did do an amazing job! I love to sit and look at it. And it brightens up my room.
I think we might all be as excited about the giveaway as y’all ;)
I love the colors on that quilt! How fun that your sister made something that reminds you of growing up! (My sister isn’t nostalgic like I am.) ;)
I always look forward to Toni Shiloh’s takeovers in the FB group.
Toni always does a great job!
That quilt is beautiful! And I’m excited for both the paperbacks as well as the ebooks, they all look really good :) Thanks again to the authors!

Hi, I too was raised in New Mexico, I was born in Texas, but when I was 4 years old our dad built a house in New Mexico , so I was raised in New Mexico. I have been living in Texas for over 40 yrs now. I have a brother that lives in the house that our dad built, he has made changes in the house, but he still lives there. I love to go and stay in a cabin in the mountains of New Mexico, I love to going to Cloudcroft. The quilt your sister made you is Beautiful! Have a Great week and stay safe. God Bless you and your family.
Oh yay! I love seeing all the NM folks :)
What a lovely quilt! So bright and pretty and it looks great on your wall, your sister is very talented :-)
So many great prizes in the Back to School giveaway, it’s going to be fun to see who all the winners will be!
Happy SONday everyone in Inspy Romance land.
She really is quite talented!
And yes! So many amazing prizes!
Your quilt is so special! My mom has a bed quilt that my grandmother made that is special to us!
Oh that’s a special thing to have. My grandma made me a quilt as well that I cherish.
That quilt is stunning. Looks like talent oozes out of the pores in your family :)
Oh my, what a lovely compliment. Thank you!
That quilt is gorgeous! It just makes me happy to look at it! The giveaways are wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win one of them.
It makes me happy too! :) Such cheery colors.
Thanks for spending time with us!
That quilt is so beautiful! Thank you for a glimpse into your childhood!
I can’t believe I am actually saying it but I have really come to love ebooks! It was so hard changing a preference of so many years but I have made it! I do still read actual books though. I spend too many hours in doctors offices and always have a book with me to read while I’m there. But when here at home I read or let the computer read to me. It takes a lot less room. 😊
Beautiful quilt! I admire people who quilt because I do not have the patience for it.
I was a hard sell on ebooks at first too, but now I so prefer them! (I love being able to just set my Kindle down and still read while both hands are doing something else!)
I don’t really have that kind of patience either :) She enjoys it. I enjoy reaping the fruit of her labor.
Gorgeous quilt.
Thank you ❤️
It’s a masterpiece <3
❤️
Such a beautiful quilt!
That is some amazing talent to make that quilt! I have never been talented at that sort of thing but greatly admire those who are.
Love the quilt! Also love the extra stuff that comes in the paperback giveaways. I mainly read ebooks the last couple years because I did a lot of reading while nursing, but since I don’t share a room with a little person anymore, I’m able to read print books again at night.
