SEAMS TO ME: 24 New Reasons to Love Sewing
by Anna Maria Horner
(Wiley, November, $24.99, ISBN: 978-0-470-25926-9)
From the Publisher:
In SEAMS TO ME, Anna Maria walks the readers through the fundamentals of sewing, offering practical advice on everything from fabric selection to color choices to choosing and buying a sewing machine. While many books offer instruction or patterns, SEAMS TO ME offers both.
SEAMS TO ME includes vivid, full-color photographs and designs and a bound-in envelope containing 10 loose paper patterns. Whether you’re a beginner or veteran sewer, the 24 projects in this beautiful book will transform your home and wardrobe into a collection of unique treasures, to be handed down for generations to come.
The mother of five, Anna Maria still finds time to share her thoughts on a blog that attracts more than 100,000 fans per month. One of today’s most refreshing and most notable fabric designers, she has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and has been featured at numerous exhibitions, including the Surtex art and design show and QuiltMarket.
Sew,Mama,Sew! would like to thank Sarah from Wiley Publishing for contributing this gorgeous book to Handmade Holidays. Did you catch the part about there being actual pattern pieces in there?! As always, Anna Maria’s work and photography are stunning. This book is a must-have for modern sewists. Visit the Wiley website to learn more about the book and the “Sew Like a Pro” Sweepstakes!

Love the garland, I made it last year in red and white felt. Also love Anna Maria. I would love a chance to win her book. Thanks for the giveaway.(Gosh, there’s a lot of love here, sorry!) Happy Holidays.
Thanks for my new winter project. I have never had much luck with blanket stitch, but here is a lot of opportunity to get it right. Hoping that book is coming my way.
Would love to have this book for so many reasons!!
Love all these ideas! I’m excited about the chance to win Anna Maria’s book but not too optimistic with all those other comments up there…

Great ideas! Thanks!
I’d love a copy of that book. Thanks for the opportunity.
It’s all so pretty. I have been meaning to make stockings for the husband and myself.
I love the felt garland! I might have to get my daughter onto that one – just change the blanket stitch to a simple running stitch and I’m sure she’ll be able to manage it.
Anna Maria’s new books sounds fabulous! I’d love to win it!
Oh what fun!!! Thanks for the great ideas, and thanks for the giveaway!
That book looks amazing!

I’ve bought my felt… Must make that garland! I’m deep in the throws of Christmas making (sew, sew, sew, crochet, knit, trip to LYS, crochet some more!) It would be nice to be making something for ME for a change… maybe a new book would help?
Awesome garland!

I love this book!! I have already pored through it, and I will buy it either way. But getting it for free would certainly make me feel less guilty about all the money I’ll be spending on fabric for the many projects it will inspire! Thanks for the opportunity!
I adore Anna Maria!!
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that she has 5 children and a baby on the way! She’s amazing and inspiring!
