Modern Mix blog tour

October 9, 2011 in Other with 193 Comments

It’s my stop on another book blog tour today. This time around it’s for a fellow Stash Books author, Jessica Levitt and her book Modern Mix.

10795D

The mix that the title refers to is solid and patterned fabrics.  If you follow my blog at all, you know I’m a real lover of solids. Jessica’s book proves over and over that solids set off a project and give patterned fabric some room to breath and be appreciated.

TwinStringQuilt

The book is chock full of projects that use all different quantities of solid fabrics and each one is beautiful.

StripeofStripsPillow

The projects range in size and complexity. Everything from big bed quilts to pillows and little pouches.  So many great projects here – you’re certain to be inspired to get to the sewing machine and sew some of them up!

And I’ll bet you seriously want a copy of this book, huh?? Well you get a chance to win one right now! Leave a comment on this post and one lucky winner will get a copy. I’ll pick a winner on Wednesday the 12th.

If you’d like to follow along, the remaining stops on the tour are:

Monday 10/10:  Stop Staring and…Start Sewing
Tuesday 10/11:  Quilting is My Therapy
Wednesday 10/12:  Stitch Magazine Blog

    Thank you for being part of the tour. I absolutely LOVE that cover quilt. The colors are just amazing. I think if I win the book I might have hubby build a little shelf right in front of my sewing machine so that I can stare and drool at the cover all the time. LOL

    Giving prints breathing room by using solids – something I want to learn to do well in my quilts. The geometry of these quilts appeals to me so please enter me into the drawing. Modern Mix looks like a good book to use. Thanks for this interesting stop on the book blog tour.
