... So what's between the pages? Over 30 projects with step by step instructions and templates... designed by many a familiar face and photographed beautifully. Here's a glimpse:
From Molly's art kit to Celine's smocked dress, the list of lovelies just goes on and on... soft toys, mittens, totes, purses, soap, seed balls, jewelry, scarves and more.Lots of fun sewing, but only basic skills needed. All good, all thoughtful, and all beautiful... and all designed with the intention of helping and giving. It's at your local bookstore so you can open it up and look for yourself!
Lark Crafts has given their Craft Hope contributors each an extra copy of the book. They even recommended that their designers sign them. Ha! That feels so sweet and fun. So I will do just that, and send it off to one of you... with a little bonus surprise tucked inside... just a small something, I crafted with love and care for you. As always, I'll ship it anywhere in the world... please leave a comment by next Wednesday, August 11 5pm EST, and I'll announce the winner on Thursday morn.
Good luck and have a beautiful weekend!
What a lovely giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
