Today is the first day of the Busy Girl Sews Tour, a chance for some of my friends to share their version of projects from my book. Rather than pack a lot into a short amount of time, I decided to make this a weekly tour. Every Monday you'll get a little dose of inspiration and maybe even a few organizing tips from some wonderfully talented sewing bloggers. We're kicking it off today at Lily's Quilts with the only giveaway of our tour. Lynne has three copies of the book to share with you, so be sure to leave a comment on her post!
I wouldn't be where I am today without Lynne. Her monthly Fresh Sewing Day blog link-up was the first one I ever joined back when Fabric Mutt was just over a month old, and that involvement changed the life of my blog and my entire sewing experience by introducing me to the encouragement of the online quilting community for the first time. She also gave me the chance to make a few projects for the Fat Quarterly e-magazine when I was very new to pattern writing, and I'm so grateful for those experiences now which trained me for later projects. On top of everything else, Lynne is an incredibly brilliant pattern designer, prolific author, and just plain lovely human being. If you haven't visited her blog before, you must stop by for a visit!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a book, well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a line up! I'm excited (and can I say how much I love your 'busy girl sews' button!).
ReplyDeleteI have already been hearing great things about this new book, so I am super excited to see the new reveals at each stop of this fun bloghop!
ReplyDeleteI did enter the giveaway but decided to just go ahead and buy the book. If I am fortunate enough to win a copy I will pass it on through my blog.
ReplyDeleteJust saw your book on cut to pieces! Love it. I want it ...now! Good job.
