I am so thankful to have so many gracious and kind readers…wow over 700 of you tune in everyday…thanks yall..So I thought I would have another book giveaway. Seems you like to read just as much as me ;)
Description….
Encyclopedic in scope, the book features two main parts to help you brush up on the basics and take your skills to a new level. First, the Techniques section guides readers through Sewing, Appliqué, Embroidery, Quilting, Dyeing, and Printing. Following that, the Projects A to Z section features more than 150 clever ideas (including many no-sew projects), all illustrated and explained with the clear, detailed instructions that have become a signature of Martha Stewart’s magazines, books, and television shows.
An enclosed CD includes full-size clothing patterns as well as templates that can be easily produced on a home printer. Fabric, thread, and tool glossaries identify the properties, workability, and best uses of common sewing materials. And, perhaps best of all, when you need it most, Martha and her talented team of crafts editors offer you the reassurance that you really can make it yourself.
The projects are as delightful as they are imaginative, and include classic Roman shades, hand-drawn stuffed animals, an easy upholstered blanket chest, a quilted crib bumper, French knot-embellished pillowcases and sheets, and Japanese-embroidered table linens, among many others.With gorgeous color photographs as well as expert instruction, this handy guide will surely encourage beginners and keep sewers and crafters of all experience levels wonderfully busy for many years to come.

There isn't anything that I don't like about summer (except high humidity) I love being able to go outside without layers of warm clothes, I love sandals, open windows, breezes, sunshine, birds, trees with leaves, flowers.
My favorite thing about summer is the extra daylight, It is so easy to get into a pattern of get up go to work come home during the winter. The daylight is such a boost, mentally and physically, after the long winters here in Alaska.
My favorite summertime activities involve playing in the backyard with my two kiddoes! We really, really love messy playtime! It must include bubbles, water, mud, dirt, chalk, paint, etc. The more soaked, spritzed, and sudzed we are, the happier we feel while basking in the warm summer sunshine!
