Fat Quarters: Small Fabrics, More Than 50 Big Ideas + a GIVEAWAY!

Today I'm so excited to share this new book, Fat Quarters : Small Fabrics, More Than 50 Big Ideas, a collaborative book, full of wonderful projects, published by Lark Crafts! Inside you'll find a great variety of projects from things for babies & kids, to bags, quilts, pillows, wearables, and more! By many familiar names, including me! That's my cute, little patchwork Sewing Caddy on the cover!

When I designed this Sew Caddy project for the book I had created two, one using just three, small solid cuts of fabric and a second scrap-friendly version using an assortment of 2.5" charms!




Since they were returned to me at least a year ago, I've used them everyday! I have one either hanging from the foot of my extension table, or sitting close by, to be my catchall for snipped threads, lint, my little scissors, seam ripper, extra bobbins & Aurifil spools. I love it!

Now it's time for a Fat Quarters : Small Fabrics, More Than 50 Big Ideas Giveaway!!

Just For You Book & GIVEAWAY : :

Long ago I was invited to contribute a project for the new book Just for You: Selfish Sewing Projects from Your Favorite Sew Can She Bloggers: 24 Simply Stylish Projects by authors Sarah Markos and Caroline Fairbanks-Critchfield of SewCanShe. Over the years the SewCanShe blog has so kindly featured many of my own tutorials and I was thrilled to have been asked. To celebrate it's release there's a fun blog hop happening all month long, featuring all the book contributors, including a sneak peek of each project, with lots of chances to win your very own copy of Just for You! This is my very first book contribution, so it's all very exciting!



The book is a collection of "selfish sewing" projects from bags & totes to skirts & tops to scarves & aprons and more, all designed by many of your favorite bloggers! The projects are arranged into twelve chapters, one chapter for each month, so you can sew along with the book throughout the year. In October, you'll find my project for a Pretty Pocket Apron!



This apron is made using just five fat quarters of fabric, a denim linen, my favorite English Garden Serene print by Bari J, Art Gallery Fabrics Flumes in Citron and PE solid Nocturnal, with several scrappy bits for the colorful pocket applique!



Today, Stash Books is offering a copy of Just For You to one of my readers!
