It seems as if we just sent out our Label Crew kits for July, and now it's already time to think about August. I love this one (mostly because I have a crush on all things with ruffles). The August kit includes a pattern for these potholders:
We thought this would make a great gift, so we tied it up with a bunting wrap, where we placed the label:
Here are the other labels that come in the kit:
For more information on our Label Crew, click here.
The UPS man has been on a roll lately. Monday, he brought us our Hometown Pre-cuts, and today, the first copy of our book!
I can't believe it's really here. It turned out even more beautiful than we had hoped. I know we can't show you the inside pages, but I think a couple shots of the back cover and title page wouldn't hurt:
To celebrate, we are giving away a copy of the book! We know so many of you have already pre-ordered the book, so if you are the winner, we will make sure we refund your money so your copy will be free. So if you have ordered the book or not, and would like to win a copy, leave us a message letting us know your favorite book. Any book will do- children's book, a novel, quilting book, etc.
We are still taking pre-orders for the book- we expect it to arrive sometime in August. Thanks to all of you who have already ordered. We were a bit overwhelmed by the response. Thank you so much!
We will pick a winner next week. See you then!
I love reading murder musteries, but LOVED the Diana Gabaldon 'Crosstitch' series - a must read...and I am a cook bookaholic...and I have a number of quilt books. Love Simplify by Camille Roskelly. Can't wait for yours - I have it on order too....

Any book with beautiful pictures. I have a library of sewing, design, cooking, and crafting books. I really love all of the Country Living books and House Beautiful. I did read a book without pictures last week. "Heaven is for Real", I recommend it to everyone. Can't wait to devour your book!
Posted by: Brooke | Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 01:25 PM
Any book written by Diane Chamberlain is my favorite book. For your purpose let's go with The Midwife's Confession. Anything she writes is awesome. BUT now I have not seen your book so your book just may fall in that category as well! Thanks for a chance to win
Posted by: Beverly Atkins | Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 11:27 AM
My favorite book at this time is the "Inkheart" trilogy. A fantastic adventure and fantasy, and it's even G-rated!!! I've read the complete set 3 times in the last year and a half!! (the books are sooo much better than the movie: if you saw it, just ignore what that was like and give the books a try!) Your fabrics are just wonderful, and I'm sure the book will be just as wonderful!
Posted by: Helen Lebrett | Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 02:23 AM
I love the Griffin & Sabine Trilogy by Nick Bantock. I enjoy reading novels, but I also love all kinds of quilting books and I cannot wait for yours! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas!
Posted by: Aileen | Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 08:43 PM
I love the "At Home In Mitford" series by Jan Karon. Her writing is both humor, love, sincere, and down-to-earth. Great series. Teri Dingler
Posted by: Teri Dingler | Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 06:21 PM
My favorite book is Breakfast of champions by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. - I read it in high school and it brings some fun memories. This was the first book of Kurt which I read - after that I read almost all of his books. Now I've got a feeling that I should get back to them and read them once again:)
Posted by: Julianna | Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 03:37 PM
My favourite book is the Timetraveller's Wife
Posted by: Gill | Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 12:35 PM

Congratulations on being published! I can't wait to see your book.
Posted by: Claudia | Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 09:24 AM
Palindrome by Stuart Woods if I had to choose just one book.
Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton is my favorite baby book. I read it so much to
my oldest, I had to get a new copy for my
middle child.
Your book looks beautiful!
Posted by: Dorothy | Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 05:31 AM

Posted by: Jen | Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 12:19 AM
It was great meeting you all personally at the Quilt Shop! My favorite book is actually a Christmas book called THE CHRISTMAS JAR by Jason Wright. It is an amazing Christmas story and now a tradition of ours every year. If you haven't read it...you should! I can't wait to see your new book, congratulations!
Posted by: Lynn Woodard | Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 11:02 PM
I have many favourites- one of my favorite kids book that I read as an adult is The Witch Of Blackbird Pond- a fantastic historical fiction book for all ages. I can't wait till my daughter is 8 and we can read it together. (A suggestion for reading with boys-or girls is the 39 Clues series so good)
Posted by: Dara | Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 07:56 PM

I love to read in the hot summer days and have so many "memorable" ones that I have really enjoyed so it's hard to pick one but I'll go with...Heaven is for Real. It was a very easy read and was quite touching/inspiring! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of you book :)
Posted by: Lacey | Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 12:10 PM
I am quite an avid reader but since getting my iPad I tend to get into bed at night and read quilt blogs instead. I really do need to get back to reading too. Most recently I have been been scouring my quilt magazines deciding just how much space I want to devote to storing them. Thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: Tamie | Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 10:52 AM

I love books and collect them. Just recently I read The True Story of the Three Little pigs to my grandson ....It was one of the favorites of all my boys! He loved it and doesn't know if he should believe the wolf's side of the story or not. Your book looks amazing and I can't wait to see it ...hope I win!!
Posted by: Lizzie | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 09:04 PM
I LOVE books! It just that now I find time for reading limited, so I tend to read mostly the Bible. However, when I was in high school my favorite books were a 5 book series set in Israel just after WWII...just before it became a country. These are some great historical fiction books by Bodie & Brock Thoene.
Posted by: Amanda | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 08:35 PM
My favorite book is The Book of Mormon. I really love your fabric and am excited to see your new book even if I don't win it!
Posted by: T. Hunsaker | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 07:24 PM
Favorite book lately: The Help - I grew up in the same time period. It is fantastically well written! I hope the movie is even half as good.
Thanks for the giveaway. I would love to win your book!
Posted by: Leslie | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 07:15 PM
One of my favorites - only because it made my children laugh so much and who doesn't love the sound of that - is "Walter the Farting Dog". I know... slightly tasteless but makes for great children's literature!!
Posted by: Eryn | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 05:05 PM
I call my Better Homes and Garden quilting book my "Big Book". It's the one I go back to again and again!

A favorite book, singular? I love books. It is hard to pick a favorite. Well, my current favorite (for 2011) is The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom. Read it, you will love it!
Posted by: Lynn Koeppen | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 01:05 PM
I love any kind of crafting book but my favorite book of all time is a child's pop-up book. It was Thumbelina and I remember I wore out my copy when I was little. I wish I could find another copy but at least I still have the memories.
Posted by: Stacy Lindblom | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 12:34 PM
Sandra Boynton's Going to Bed book.

Posted by: Sharlene Piscitelli | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 11:04 AM
My favorite book is the next one I check out from our public library. I've had subscriptions to every printed quilt magazine since Year One and cannot choose a Fave. Yur new book will fit in with my newfound love of Pure. I'm waiting for my quilter to return with the Pure baby quilt.
Posted by: Donna Wheeler | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 10:33 AM

I love your fabrics...I think I have a quilt from every line - can't wait for Hometown. I love to read and really don't have a favorite book but I like to read Jane Austen. And I love to read quilt books and magazines. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of your new book.
Posted by: Denise C | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Reading the Harry Potter books with my daughter (who is now 16) and sharing the magical experience of both books and movies with her for the last 10 years, has been precious beyond words for me! Together we have loved so many books. Today her favorite authors are Charles Dickens, Edgar Allen Poe and Jane Austin.
Posted by: Jean Dorrell | Monday, July 18, 2011 at 09:59 AM
