A "Quilty Fun" Announcement and a Giveaway!!!...

I really just can't tell you how pleased I am to

 be able to announce what I have been

 working on for quite a while now....

my very own quilty book.

(insert big smile here:)

I am so excited to tell you a little about it!!!

It will be published by
 It's Sew Emma

YaY!!!

The book is called..

 "Quilty Fun"

Lessons in Scrappy Patchwork

The release date is this September/October

just a few months away!!!

Quilty Fun 
is centered around my easy methods 
and scrappy sewing from your stash!!!
It includes my 

Bee in my Bonnet Row-Along Quilt

and also features 10 new "Spin-off" projects

 from the blocks that I designed for the original quilt.

Besides the row along quilt,

there are 6 more quilts,

a table-runner,

a cute pillow,

a sewing machine mat

and a "Quilty"
(explanation of that to come later)

Read more about my book from Kimberly at
JOLLY JABBER!

Here are just a few peeks at a few projects...

 All of the pictures for the book will be photographed
 in my little cottage in just a few short weeks:)
The pictures in this post of course are just mock ups...
the real ones will be taken later.

"Quilty Fun"
 will be jam packed with over
 100 pages of photos, projects, tips and inspiration!

One of the things that I'm really excited about is...
The spiral binding!!!

 I requested a spiral binding so that the pages 
would lie flat for you when you are using it!

I love me a spiral bound quilting book
 and they are hard to find

so that was my very first request...
 but not the last one! 

It's been so great to work with everyone at 
It's Sew Emma.
They have been so indulgent
 in all of my ideas for the design of the book.

I'm hoping that Quilty Fun will find a home
 in your studio or sewing room...

it will be like me visiting you 
on your quilty kind of days!

Kimberly over at Fat Quarter Shop is offering you 
a guaranteed first shipment edition and 
 20% off the retail price if you pre-order!
