Oh, you guys...I can't believe the day has finally come when I can write this post! I've been working on this project officially since summer 2013, but it's been on my mental radar since the end of 2012. It's an absolute joy to present you with my book: Sew Organized for the Busy Girl, due out in March of next year. It's already available for pre-order on Amazon and C&T Publishing (where you can see some project pictures too!)..and yes, I'll admit that I check those sites once in a while to remind myself that this is all actually happening!
I've always tried to be real with you here, and I want to keep it that way. I wouldn't have written this book if I didn't hope that someone would read it, so I'll be sharing some projects and ideas from it in the coming year. However, I am not going to beat you over the head with my book from morning till night. It's really important to me that I keep this a place where I chat with you about what I'm sewing and how it all fits into daily life...and honestly, Sew Organized is just an extension of that. I wrote it for all of you out there who, like me, are struggling to fit sewing time into your busy schedule. If there's anything special you'd like to know about it or would like to see in a book tour, feel free to let me know in the comments below, and I'll do my best to work it in. I really want this to be actually helpful to you!
But the details will keep for now. I'm off to celebrate with a little happy time at the sewing table...
SO COOL. I can't wait to see and hear more! Congrats Heidi. I'm super happy for you!
ReplyDeleteHeidi I can't wait for this book! As my business grows I'm finding less and less time for sewing.. sounds like your book will come at the perfect time for me. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm so so so HAPPY for you, Heidi!!! I can't wait for your book to come out. I love the sneak peak on the C&T site!!! The cover of the book is PER. FECT!!!!! Yippee!!!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited I forgot to say Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first huge CONGRATS Heidi!! I'm so excited for you! This is absolutely the top of my must have book list! The sneak peeks look amazing, and the projects... wow! You know how i feel about all your work, so i will eagerly be awaiting my chance to make every single thing in this book!
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for the tour?/blog hop?!!! I love seeing other people versions of the same thing, sometimes you see something in a certain fabric and think that it looks amazing and can only picture it in that one fabric, then to see it in a different fabric turns it into a whole new thing, dealie, whatchamacallit. Very eloquent, i know... this is why i have no plans on writing a book, I'll leave that to the professionals :) Congrats again Heidi, this is so awesome!
Congratulations, Heidi! I remember finding your blog when we were both on Plum and June's beginning blogger blog hop. And now you're a published author! That's pretty dang cool.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover art! I can't wait to see what's inside--by all means beat us over the head with it!
Congratulations Heidi. I am so excited for you, and also for the rest of us - your book is top on my priority list. You know I am a huge fan :-) How amazing that your dreams have become reality - I am so so thrilled for you xxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I personally really appreciate detailed posts with lots of photos when new books come out. I really don't feel you can over share. In lieu of seeing a book in person before purchasing, it is so helpful to know what it's really about/what projects are in it. I don't think sites like Amazon do a great job at featuring the right pages in their "look inside" and often all you get a preview of is the index and basic sewing instructions instead of the meat of the book! Share away!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jamie!! I love to get a good feel for projects too when I see new books that are out -- the more photos, the better! I will definitely keep that in mind when I share with all of you!
DeleteYah!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Looks like a great book.Looking forward to you telling us more about it.
ReplyDeleteThat's just so wonderful Heidi. Congratulations!!! So looking forward to seeing more :)
ReplyDeleteAHH!! I am so excited for you, friend! It looks amazing (even just the cover - I'm off to stalk for more pics!). On a random note, I'd be happy to help with the blog tour if you need someone. It would be fun to see bloggers make something from your book and show how they use it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a great accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteSuperduper cool!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations with your book!
Esther
This is so exciting! Congratulations on your new 'baby'.
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to read about someone feeling just like I am just now. My new book, out in March too, has also just went on Amazon for pre-order. So exciting and makes it feel real at last! Congratulations to you and wishing you the very best. I'll look forward to getting your book, it looks fantastic! - Susan Dunlop
ReplyDeleteSusan, that's absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much for the congratulations, and congrats to you too!!!
DeleteCongratulations! It looks wonderful - I particularly love the butterfly quilt and caterpillar cushion, so perfect for a kid's room. Looking forward to hearing more about it.
ReplyDeleteHurray! Off to see some off the projects now...
ReplyDeleteha HA! Yay!!! Congrats Heidi, I'm so looking forward to reading this :) I love the cover and those little peeks I saw at the C T site!
ReplyDeleteBig congratulations, Heidi! Your book looks very practical and helpful. Does it include information about how to cope with scraps? So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Heidi!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds so fun, I need help with the organizing bit.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Now that I have been working full time I am always looking for quick projects!
ReplyDeleteWell done and I,for one, look forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteMary, thank you so much! I hope you like it!!
DeleteCongratulations! That is so awesome and I am super excited for you!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Heidi♥ Just from the cover, I can tell how modern, sophisticated and practical your projects are inside... Can't wait! I know how much time, energy, and effort you put in to write a book... And I know you did an awesome job!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! It looks like a book for me too, I have far too many things happening each day. I like book tours where the people actually have read the book and made their own review or personal comment about the book, maybe tried a project and can show some progress.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! And thanks for keeping it real. Feels like so many blogs turned book deals are all of a sudden only about the book. Can't wait to see your book!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! By the cover alone (which I love!) this looks like a book I need. I'm clicking your links for sneak peeks.
ReplyDeleteWOOOOHOOOO! I just want to say beat away! Because if you're excited about it, I want to hear all about it! Congratulations, my friend. All that hard work culminating in something very wonderful. I'm so inspired by you! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This is fabulous news and I can't wait to see what is inside.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! So happy for you - Congrats! and can't wait to see your projects!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy, guess I will have to wait until next year... BTW LOVE the cover art!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love your blog and look forward to reading your book as well!
