Craft Book Month: Fabric Mutt + LRstitched

It’s Day 1 of the Craft Book Month 2013 blog hop, and I’m so excited to share some fab projects made from patterns in sewing books!

Heidi at Fabric Mutt made the Crossword Quilt from a A Month of Sundays by Cheryl Arkison (Stash Books). Her low-volume background fabrics are fabulous! I can’t tell you how much I’ve wanted to add this book to my collection, and I’m convinced I must do it today.

Check out what else is on Heidi’s crafty bookshelf!

Lindsey at LRstitched made this too-cute kitchen embroidery hoop inspired by the book Hoop La! : 100 Things to Do with Embroidery Hoops by Kirsty Neale, and publised by David + Charles. Wouldn’t this look awesome in your kitchen?

And there’s a giveaway for the e-book on her blog (2 winners!), so hop on over to enter!

We hope you join us this September in making a project from one of your favorite craft books, and we’ll host a link-up with prizes.

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.
