Modern Prairie Sewing.. at Always in Stitches!!!!

When I found my book, Modern Prairie Sewing, sitting on the book shelf at Always in Stitches in Noblesville, I was so excited!!!

The gals at Always in Stitches were happy too, so we got together and set a date for me to have a book signing!

 Turnabout blouse...

 my books...

  signing...

 This gorgeous young lady is my cousin, Hannah.

She was super sweet and offered to test out the Everyday Sundress back when I was working on the pattern.

She wore her Everyday Sundress to the book signing and it looked

SO cute on her!!!

(Proof's in the puddin'... ^ )

I had such a great day!!! I had a lot of fun at my book signing and enjoyed talking to quite a few gals who were just like me... they love to sew and see where their imagination and fabric will take them!

I especially loved seeing my family (and a couple friends!) walk up.

Wow. I have the most amazing and supportive family ever.

And I love them to pieces. Each and every one.

Thanks so much, Always in Stitches, for having me!

You have a beautiful and inspirational store.

Modern Prairie Sewing Success Story from The Sewing Basket!

 

 

        

I opened up my email the other night to find one of the sweetest, most encouraging reviews of 

Modern Prairie Sewing possible! 

The review came from Lou Ann of The Sewing Basket. 

"Hi Abi, I just wanted to write to say that I have been selling your book at homeschool shows and quilt shows since it came out. I buy it at United Notions.... Anyway, I teach sewing when I'm not doing shows and I have just finished a year of working through your book with 6 teen girls. They (and I) loved it! 3 of them made the Riverwalk skirt! No easy task, but a very great pattern. I have used other books, but wanted to let you know that your book is excellently written and illustrated! I am ready for your second book! In the works? Thanks again for a great book! 

Lou Ann Rudeseal, The Sewing Basket, Arlington, TX"

She sent me the above picture of her cute sewing girls in their Riverwalk skirts with the note:

"I'm serious when I say we truly loved your book!!"

I loved looking through Lou Ann's photos on her Facebook and spotting numerous projects that her sewing students made using Modern Prairie Sewing. They did a fabulous job. And three cheers for those girls who made two of the most time consuming and thought provoking patterns in my book! You made the Jael bag [pictures above] and the Riverwalk skirts beautifully and perfectly!

Thanks so much for sharing with me, Lou Ann! 

Hugs to you and your sewing girls down in Arlington, Texas!
