I shall have to organise my current WIPs (of which there are many!) before I open your book. Good to have full size templates too.
I feel that my recently tidied fabric stash may have to brace itself - I knew it wouldn't last!!
Wowsers Helen, that is kind. I would have a dive into my scraps box for some bits to make the button houses. I love using scraps. Jo x

Thank you Helen for this give away chance, xoxoRobin
Helen, all these photographs from your new book show me that it's going to be a great success.
I think that you know that I am getting closer and closer to my first paper piecing quilting project, and today I ordered a rotary cutter. Big Step.
Now, I'm hoping that my current knitting projects will be able to either step up their speed to completion, or obey the Yield sign as long-awaiting quilt projects get their chance at my waking hours.
Of course, I would love to win this new book, but must remind myself that I've already got your Pretty Patchwork Gifts inspiring me!
xo
I can't wait for my book to come. I love your blog
