Oh my goodness...
I'm sew excited to share my
year long secret sewing
project with you today.
I have a new book
coming out in July.
YaY!
It's called
"Spelling Bee"
and you can preorder it now
from my amazing publishers
by clicking
If you follow me on
you have seen some of the photos
that I took during the shoot
for the book a few weeks ago.
The photos were taken
here at my quilty cottage:)
If you aren't on Instagram...
Today I have several
photos to show you.
There are many more projects
in the book than
you see here...
but these will give you
a good idea
of what is inside.
If you are wondering
where I have been...
now you know!
I've been working hard
sewing and spelling!!!
The book consists of 100 blocks.
Yes...I did say 100!
Each are in my typical
6" and 12" size...
YaY!
There are all 26 letters in
Uppercase and Lowercase.
There are all of the number blocks
as well as punctuation blocks
so that you literally can
spell out anything
that your heart desires:)
I have also included
18 "picture blocks" ...
of course in 6" and 12"
sizes as well.
One of my favorites is this
Globe Block...super fun!
as well as a camera block:)
I also have directions
on how to make
your very own set of
"Flash Cards"
so that you can
have fun spelling out
whatever you want
for any occasion:)
There are several projects inside
using both the picture blocks
along with letter blocks
for cute mini quilts:)
Here are just a few!
You can also make mini quilts
with the 6" Picture Blocks and
use them with the Flash Cards.
Or they are super cute on their own!
Use the Flash Cards
to decorate your own cottage
and make it a cozy place to be:)
It's fun to change up
the banner daily...
weekly or simply
each season or holiday!
Seriously...
however you decide to use them...
these Flash Cards
are super fun!
I hope that you
love everything
that I have created
for my new book
as much as I do:)
Lots of quilts ...
and lots of mini quilts:)
And of course...
LOTS of my vintage style:)
I cannot wait until July!
And yes...
there will be a super duper fun
Spelling Bee Sew Along
after the book comes out....
if you want to pre-order
so that you can
"BEE Ready!!!"

ReplyDeleteWow, what a busy bee you've been! Have you worn your sewing machine out? Well done. Sharon x
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love the book! so many possibilities! Thank you so much for this - can't wait to get my hands on it :0)
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at your talent and creativity. If I just had one seventh of your talent and vision I would be the happiest girl in the world. As always, thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Impressive! I'll definitely have to get a copy to drool over if nothing else. Wish I'd had this when I was homeschooling my children. It would have made learning their ABC's etc. sew much more fun, especially had I let them pick out the fabrics...which I would have done.
ReplyDeleteWow,congratulations.Looks great!!
ReplyDeleteSooooo in love with your camera quilt!!! And all the other quilts are so cute too! I have so many projects I want to make, but while waiting for my book to arrive I will try to finish some of the ones I've already started ;) Have a great new and creative week <3
ReplyDeleteOrdered my copy today and looking forward to starting on the camera quilt. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your Farm Girl Vintage and Spelling Bee books. The directions are very good. Thanks for the reminder each time to square the block to the correct size. I've been having fun making the blocks from scraps left over from a quilt project.
