An Apple a Day blog tour and Giveaway

 
Welcome everyone!
Today's my turn to host the An Apple a Day Blog Tour! Please continue reading, there is a giveaway at the end!


 It took me a while to come up with my project, I thought for days on what a quilter would really need. 


Me, I am always annoyed that whenever I am going to visit someone, all my sewing supplies, all the small stuff somehow gets thrown into three different bags and still is totally out of order when I arrive and want to sew. 


So I made a bag that has enough pockets to carry everything with you. There are pockets for the rulers, for your pencils, for your spray starch or iron (or those small water bottles that I like to carry around), for your scissors. 


There are zippered pockets for those small things that you need but which would inevitably fall out of normal pockets. 




Click on the pictures to see all the details :)


Here is the full schedule, you can still enter:
Sunday, July 1st: Amanda's Blog & Jana's Blog
Monday, July 2nd: Julie's Blog
Tuesday, July 3rd: Sally's Blog 
Wednesday, July 4th: Candice's Blog
Thursday, July 5th: Stephanie's Blog
Saturday, July 7th: Jackie's Blog
Sunday, July 8th: Brooke's Blog
 

Now, for the giveaway: I am giving away two copies of
An Apple a Day, 9 projects for the daily life of sewist, quilters and crafters!
One to someone living in Europe,
one to someone living somewhere else in the world!

If you want to enter, please leave me a comment telling me where you live and what you would sew first from the book.

If you can't wait for the book, you can purchase it here.
 

Good luck everyone!

Good morning everyone!

July has started and so has the An Apple a Day Blog Tour! And because this is a book tour, we'll be having inspiring pictures, little stories, fun tutorials and - of course- lots of giveaways you can enter at each stop. 
Make sure you visit each member of the creative team, you won't regret it!

And because this is day one, we'll be starting with TWO giveaways :)

Here is the full schedule:
Sunday, July 1st: Amanda's Blog & Jana's Blog
Monday, July 2nd: Julie's Blog
Tuesday, July 3rd: Sally's Blog 
Wednesday, July 4th: Candice's Blog
Thursday, July 5th: Stephanie's Blog
Friday, July 6th: Johanna's Blog (ME!)
Saturday, July 7th: Jackie's Blog

Since I am in Europe, my books took a while to get here. But let me tell you: so worth the wait! Is it weird to be inspired by your own project? I could never have taken those pictures and never have put together and layouted the book the way Amanda did. Did you know that she did all this in the already crazy weeks before quilt market?
Make sure you stop by her blog and tell her how amazing she is :)

And if you can't wait to win the book, you can purchase it here.

Hope you are all having a great summer and please come visit me on Friday :)
