On today’s blog tour stop I’m visiting with Jaime and Jacinda, the talented ladies behind the beautiful site Prudent Baby. Prudent Baby is a great source of DIY inspiration for crafty moms — it’s a wonderland of tutorials and inspiration for projects for and about kids and the home. (And even if you don’t have kids, you’re sure to find tons of eye candy and ideas there, like I do!)
So head on over to Prudent Baby to see what Jaime and Jacinda have to say about Sewing in a Straight Line. They’re giving away one copy of my book, so visit their site to enter to win. Thanks for being part of my blog tour, ladies!
And now for today’s giveaway – it’s a good one! Up for grabs today is six one-yard cuts of the newest AMY BUTLER CORDUROY FABRIC! I’ve been a fan of Amy Butler fabrics forever, and I was thrilled to learn recently that she’s branching out into fashion fabrics. While there are lots of great fabrics on the market for quilters, there aren’t always a lot of good choices for fashion sewing. But now that Amy has hit the scene, things are looking brighter. Today’s giveaway features her new line of corduroy fabrics, Soul Blossoms Corduroy by Amy Butler for Rowan. The image above shows a few different patterns from this line.
