blog tour in search of groupies
December 11, 2009
I'm taking this show on the road without having to change out of my pajamas - care to join me? Interweave Press has organized a fabulous blog tour to launch Sew Liberated: 20 Stylish Projects for the Modern Sewist! What's more, I won't be alone on this journey - I'm so excited to be touring with the super-awesome and amazingly talented Rashida Coleman-Hale, author of I Love Patchwork. The press release is below - read on to find out how you can win a copy of my book and host the final tour stop on your blog!
The Sew Liberated and I Love Patchwork Double-the-Fun Blog Tour: 2 Fabulous Sewing Authors, 2 New Books, 2 Weeks ‘til Christmas!
Interweave is thrilled to announce the publication of two
new contemporary sewing books: Rashida Coleman-Hale’s I LOVE PATCHWORK:
21 IRRESISTABLE ZAKKA PROJECTS TO SEW and Meg McElwee’s SEW LIBERATED: 20
STYLISH PROJECTS FOR THE MODERN SEWIST. To celebrate in style, Meg and Rashida
are hitting the Internet highway on a double-author blog tour. Follow the
schedule and see gorgeous pictures from their books, learn more about their
design personalities, gain a chance to win free copies, and more! During
the tour they’ll also be giving us a glimpse of their home studios and
creative environment on the Studios blog, and at the end they’ll wrap it
up with a designer-to-designer conversation with each other on their personal
blogs, http://www.sewliberated.

On Monday, Dec. 14 at Noon EST each author will randomly draw one person from the comments to receive a complimentary copy of their book, which Interweave will air mail out.

That's all for today! My Mom (Finn's Mima) and my Aunt Pat arrive this evening to kick off a week of merry making, cookie baking, Christmas music listening, and last minute gift knitting and sewing! Throughout the blog tour I'll still be posting here regularly. Now? I had this crazy urge, in the midst of the book launch, to make a whole slew of pants for Finn. My serger is still reeling. More on that on Monday. Here's wishing you a jolly weekend!
