FYI: I'm in the New Fat Quarters Book (Giveaway)



Hi Friends. It was a very happy mail day when this book arrived in my box. Fat Quarters: Small Fabrics, More Than 50 Big Ideas is a fantastic book, which lives up to it's title. There are so many great project ideas in here! And I'm giving one away so be sure to scroll down and enter.


Not only was I thrilled to have a copy of this book for my own sewing scheming, but it's the second book to which I've contributed a project! It's so exciting to see my work in print. I have two projects in the Babies & Kids section: My Child's Fat Quarter Reversible Apron


And a little baby dress made entirely of fat quarters.



I had so much fun developing these projects (over a year ago) and I hope others will enjoy sewing them too.


This sweet dress has a vintage vibe, which I love for babies, but it could be modern colorblock too. 



The apron lends itself to all sorts of creative possibilites, especially given the pom pom trim. I love giving these as birthday gifts.


And just wait until you see all the other projects! This book will spur a whole new fat quarter binge.


Would you like a copy of Fat Quarters: Small Fabrics, More Than 50 Big Ideas for your very own? You can enter in the widget below.

    I probably own more than 100 fat quarters! I've made the aprons for great nieces! I'd love the book for the rest of the patterns.

    I'm new to sewing so I don't have any fat quarter. That's why I would love to win this book.

    I own about a dozen fat quarters. I am usually drawn to the yardage of fabrics I love, although if I need just a small amount I will shop the fat quarters. I could use this book to use up some stash!

    I'm kinda new to all of this and I only have 7 full fat quarters waiting for the next project. I am trying to behave because each time I go to the shop, I would really like to buy about 10 of them... I will probably be over 100 sooner than I think.
