Written by none other than little ole ME! {HAPPY DANCE}
and Published by Stash Books
IN STORES JULY 2012
12 Fun exciting projects for the BOYS to enjoy! Girls would love this book too, but how many books can you honestly say that BOYS and GUYS alike would enjoy making and/or receiving the projects from? All the projects in this book were made with the guys in mind.
Be sure to follow my blog and check regularly to find out more about upcoming blog tours, book signings and more! You will not want to miss getting this book... great for beginners and advanced sewers!
Now that you all know my secret, PLEASE help me celebrate by standing up and doing a happy dance!
In addition, I am going to randomly select one lucky reader to receive a signed copy of the other two books that I have contributed to, Fresh Fabric Treats and Modern Blocks Book, both published by Stash Books.
Be sure to leave me a comment for your chance to win these two autographed books.
P.S... I would love to know if you actually did a happy dance to celebrate the announcement of my new book!
Winner will be randomly selected and announced on Friday, March 2.
No happy dance, but this it is such a great idea to make a book for boy's ideas!! I'm always at a loss of what to make for them. Congrats!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats! You must feel like you're on top of the world right now!

ReplyDeleteI danced all the way back to my sewing machine from my computer! Congratulations Angela.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Angela! What a fantastic concept! I can't wait to get my hands on your book! I'm sure the inside is just as fabulous as the cover!!! YAY!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! Finally someone has done something for boys! :) Everything (clothes in stores to fabric in quilt shops) tends to lean towards girls, and so I am excited to see a book dedicated to boys since I don't have any daugheters (yet). :) Congratulations on your books!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, no I didn't do a happy dance, but I certainly would if I won either of those two great books. Congratulations on the publishing! I can't wait to check it out!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Angela, I'm so excited!!! This book looks awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on it!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! There are never any cute boy things to make. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I follow your blog a bit 'of time and really think you're exceptional, your works are wonderful. In Italy it is difficult to learn quilting because there are few people who teach, need to learn so much in the network.
ReplyDeleteA great big hello from Italy

ReplyDeleteI wish you all success!
How exciting!! Congrats on the book. That's such hard work, way to go!
ReplyDeletekirsten_13@hotmail.com
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteYour new book looks very cool. I'm living here in testosteroni land! Two little boys and a husband - it's really all about things with wheels around here!
Congratulations, that's so excited. Seeing as though I'm at work, no happy dances are happening here right now. They might look at me funny. (That's me pretending they don't already do that when I break out into quilt conversation with a bunch of non-quilters.)
ReplyDeleteWoot Woot! Congratulations on your big accomplishment. My two grandsons are looking forward to something made for them by Meemaw!
ReplyDeleteAs a crafter/sewer and mother of only boys, THANK YOU!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI need and want this book! My brother is a transportation engineer and this would be perfect for a few projects to make as gifts for him. YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, little happy dance for you from the US
ReplyDeleteCongrats...I did a happy dance with Jazz hands!! Have two grandsons so will be looking forward to getting the new book.
ReplyDeleteHappy dancing from Spain!!! Yay! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHappy Arm flail but no dance, I'm looking forward to your book! So many boys in the family....
ReplyDeleteNothing like seeing your work in print!!!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI like the boy quilt book. I'm drawn more and more to modern quilts. I think that someday long in the future, people will look at the quilts we are making today and be completely amazed. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! very exciting...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new book! Not actually dancing, but very pleased and excited.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! So fun!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for you ! how exciting !! I'm done with my happy dance for you ; If I knew how to post Snoopy dancing for you , I would ! CONGRATS !!
ReplyDeleteI would have done a happy dance, but there are people sleeping around me right now. They would NOT have been happy with any happy dancing, but your book looks great!! As the mother of two boys, I know that there is a great imbalance out there in projects for girls vs. projects for boys. Thanks for closing the gap a bit!
ReplyDeleteSO excited for you! It's so great to see a book "just for boys"! :) Can't wait to check it out.
ReplyDeleteJust love your ideas!! My son and I are looking forward to your new book.
ReplyDeleteYes on the happy dance. Love the cover of the book. Cant wait to see the inside!
ReplyDeleteteekayb29@gmail.com
Bless your heart for writing a book for boys...in my heart I did the most joy-filled happy dance for you.!(sorry..it's the best I can do at present and I really do love to dance) Fancy holding that secret for so long. Your illustrations look stunning, so appropriate for the lads. You are meeting a real need for me, so it really is wonderful news! I'm sure it cost you such a lot of hard work ...it looks very promising and I'm sure will do you proud!

Ahh, congratulations! I really love quilts and crafty projects that take after real-life objects (does that make sense?), so I'm really excited about your latest book on boys' projects. Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteYour new book looks awesome. Two new babies in your life! It is so hard to find quilt ideas for boys.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to this new book. I always need ideas for the guys!
ReplyDeleteA book for boys is a great idea. I look forward to seeing it here in NZ.
ReplyDeletejulie.mckay@xtra.co.nz
Congratulations!! This looks awesome! I'm a mom to twin boys, so am always looking for more boy ideas! :)
ReplyDeleteI did a little happy dance for you. I think the cover looks great. The projects look really fun to make. I agree they would be suitable for anyone.
ReplyDeleteHuge congrats to you and of course we all should do a dance for ya! thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I did the happy dance for you! I don't have any little boys in my life, except my hubby, is there a quilt in there for him? Can't wait to check it out! Love the graphic elements, so familiar, yet so refreshing!
ReplyDeletecongratulations and I love the chance to win your new sewing book... will look out for it in Australia when it is released over here.. Mary
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new book! I have a boy and I'm always looking for projects he will like. There's tons of stuff for girls; not so much for boys!
ReplyDeleteHappy dancing away!!! Congrats and whew! the cat's out of the bag.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do the happy dance, but I am excited about the new book of boy ideas!! I have seven grandsons and only four granddaughters! So I'm always looking for boy ideas.
WOW, WOW, oh WOW!! Finally something cute for the boys! Angela, I am so impressed, and have seen your talent for so long. I am so thankful to know such a gifted friend. You offer such a unique style to things, and I love it. Reminds me of stuff I would have seen in your parents maybe. What a wonderful and unique family you come from! So HAPPY for you!!
ReplyDeleteSarah
I did do happy dance!! Congratulations!! I have a 4 year old son who is obsessed with planes, trains, and automobiles (not the movie - lol). And, since we are moving in the next year, he's getting his own room finally (apart form his older sister, who seriously cramps his "all boy" style). Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is so exciting! You bet I'm joining you in the happy dance. Wait until you see the dance I'll be doing if I win those books. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for more designs by you, especially with boys in mind. I look forward to this after falling in love with your Modern Blocks during the quilt along!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Great Giveaway. New books looks so FUN! No dancing while at work. :)
