Thank you all for tuning in again this week. Looks like my craft room project has been put back another week as Rob is taking the kids away for the weekend. Not that I mind – a weekend to myself is quite a luxury! However I do have a little bit of exciting news – I have a book coming out early next year with Chronicle. Its a quilt book with some wonderful contributors – it has been rather a long process and a huge learning curve for me. The whole book publishing world is incredible. More about the book soon – but just for you special people who read this newsletter – a sneak peek.
This week on whipup some projects for you to get stuck into … one of my fave projects this month is this taffeta pleated neck accessory – stylish and unique.
We reviewed dorm decor, quilts, baby! and handmade home (thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway), three wonderful crafting books.
Fabric … design your own plaid fabric.
Quilt … looking for a bit of a different quilt pattern – this geese in the forest pattern might be for you … Our quilt binding roundup is a great resource.
Crochet … love this doily pattern.
Knit … great free sock pattern… and this light sweater pattern looks delicious.
Sew … join the sew along sampler … love this stylish scrap fabric necklace … a bit more refashioning with this summer tunic …
for the wee ones … this is such a dreamy tutu to make … I love this little red riding hood stuffed doll … make some felt stuffed alphabet magnets …

Congratulations on the Chronicle contract! Yay!!! Hard won. Book publishing definitely has a steep learn curve, but it will be a joy to see your work on the shelves. You have a great eye for craft.
Congratulations on your book! Such wonderful news!
