My first book Quilt Petite is finally officially released - hooray! I'm so thrilled about this - the past few weeks have been such a whirlwind, with so many emails from readers and friends, and reviews are beginning to trickle in. Much to my relief the book's got a great reception so far, already it's hit '#1 new release' in several categories on Amazon, including the 'Sewing' and 'Needlework' categories (seriously, pinch me!!) It's so lovely to see all the hard work I've put into creating this book finally coming to fruition. A big thank you to my publishers Tuva for making this dream of mine come true.
This book encompasses my love for all 'small quilty things'. It's not a book about just mini quilts - there are place mats, pot holders, sewing organisers & noticeboards, cushions, doll quilts, table toppers, mug rugs... you get the picture. I designed the projects in this book to be 'doable' for novice sewists, but there are also lots of different techniques which will hopefully set new challenges for the more experienced sewists: English paper piecing, foundation paper piecing, regular patchwork, three different methods of applique, hand-embroidery, hand quilting - the list goes on. If you sew every single project in this book, you will pretty much master every sewing technique that I know today. As a self-taught sewist it was really important to me that my book was not only inspirational, but also educational.
To celebrate the launch of Quilt Petite I have of course asked my favourite sewing bloggers to join me on a blog hop. I am truly blessed that so many of them said yes! Here's the full blogger roster, we are kicking off tomorrow with Wynn from Zakka Art. You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook with the hashtags #quiltpetitebloghop and #quiltpetite.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying sewing mini quilts and making patchwork pillows.
I love sewing anything really from patchwork quilts to little make up bags.
ReplyDeleteI make absolutely anything my mind can dream up! 🤗 and give away most as gifts or to charity. I very rarely do commission work because that sucks the joy out of me for some reason! I purchased your book to make your cushion on the front because it's o adorable, and the inside projects bring such joy! If I were to win, I'd send my copy cross country to my friend who is having some time to herself since she's caring for her hubby with some dementia/health issues and I think it'll brighten her day! I absolutely recommend your book Sedef, it's so amazingly adorable with lots of cute projects! ❤❤
ReplyDeleteOh no, such a wonderful parcel. I love to sew little projects. More than big quilts. My favourite projects are a combination of patchwork and small pouches. My last project was a zipper pouc, made with 42 mini charms. Excuse my english, but I speak German and French all day, so sometimes I don't remember some English words. You can also habe a look at my Insta account lapetitefrance_ and on facebook. Congrats for your book, it seems fabulous. Greetings from Germany, Nicole

ReplyDeleteLove your book. Everything is sew sweet and inspiring. Hope to make a little doll quilt from it soon.
ReplyDeleteI love to sew clothing and quilts and any kind of container.
ReplyDeleteI love fabric and making quilts. Also like making fun, little things for my grandchildren like pencil cases, cushions, tooth fairy pouches, etc. Your book looks amazing and thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite things to sew are baby quilts. I am making Christmas stockings for my kids and grands...some quilted, some not. Have made placemats, table runners, and now little tooth fairy pillows...the first grand has now lost two teeth and looks adorable! (Terry Sharp, looks like we do a lot of the same things :)
ReplyDeleteThis book looks exactly like something I would love, especially since I love to sew many different things, but need almost instant gratification, so it makes so much more sense to make mini things, rather than doing full sized, or even lap sized quilts. We have 9 great grandchildren to sew for, along with 10 grandchildren and I love giving hand made gifts to them at Christmas, and on birthdays. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and what a lovely book - I am enjoying this hop!
ReplyDeleteYour book looks great, will add it to my Amazon wish list. Currently I'm sewing bags and wallets, and have a couple quilts in the planning process.
ReplyDeleteThe cover of your book is so fun to look at. I love that little girl's dress and socks and shoes. I love to quilt and sew mini projects. But I love to do anything with my sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteI love sewing quilts, but also love small projects like pillows, mug rugs, table runners & various types of bags. The small projects give me more instant gratification & the ability to use many different fabrics. I just bought 2 patterns for mini quilts. Your book looks adorable. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI am very much getting into sewing "small". I belong to an online group where we made a "little" quilt per month, which was fun. Then next we made "itty bitty" quilts per month. Loved both, however I am a bit behind on them. But that's because something new comes along and . . .
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win this awesome giveaway! So many goodies!

Hello Sedef
ReplyDeleteI would love to make something from your new book it looks amazing. Usually everything I make I give away! I started making personlised cushions for my children's friends for their birthdays and Christmas as so many have unusual names. I also help with customising costumes for our local theatre company, currently making shoe covers for the backing dancers in the Wizard of Oz panto! I would love to win your book, so I can make something nice for me, or more presents! Thank you. Dee
I hope that I haven't already entered! I don't remember. I love to make quilts of all sizes. Also Mug rugs, placemats, table runners, bags. Anything cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Sedef. Your new book is gorgeous. Thanks for putting together the giveaway. I make a few big quilts, but smaller projects are more achievable for me. Table runners and place mats are good practical finishes for me. Also projects for swaps are favourites for me.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make your gorgeous notice board - so pretty. I would also like to make a cot quilt for my new baby - I'm itching to sew but of course I barely have time to visit the bathroom at the moment! 😉
ReplyDeleteI like to sew anything. Finishing small projects for my home helps me to find steam to tackle the big projects. Time is the biggest hurdle I face to finish anything. Everything seems to take longer than you think it will along with lots of life interruptions. Your book looks beautiful. I have a granddaughter that would like to learn to sew. I think the book would be perfect for her. Thanks for a chance to win. Janita
ReplyDeleteCongrats, the book looks lovely! My projects so far include full size quilts and baby quilts. :)))

I am always drawn towards English Paper Piecing and/or embroidery. With practice, I hope to feel as comfortable with applique, too. There is nothing better than some hot cocoa, a good movie or audio book, a warm fuzzy blanket and some fun hand sewing. Thanks for a chance to win such an amazing giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book. I especially like to sew zip bags and pillows.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy sewing pillows.
ReplyDeleteEverything you have put together is absolutely stunning. Such detailed workmanship. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove your style - can't wait to get this book and try out some of the patterns! I love the placemats - I'm a placemats junkie!! I love to sew almost anything EXCEPT CLOTHING!! Just finished a baby quilt and pillow and am starting on some placemats for a Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine your joy and excitement as your hard work is finally released for everyone to enjoy. I have been WAITING for this to come out. My husband built me a small but lovely studio for me to spend my time as quilting and sewing is my joy and my therapy since retiring as a nurse because of a serious illness. I have NOTHING on my walls though, and I am soo excited for this book. I am ready to get some pretty work on my walls and you are going to help me! Thank you for your amazing patterns. I truly am happy for you, you should be very proud. kwarren29@cox.net
ReplyDeleteYour book looks beautiful and so inspiring. I've only done larger quilts, and I am now wanting to try my hand at some small projects. Your "small quilty things" are just what I'm looking for!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your book! The projects look like a lot of fun. I rarely use patterns for quilts, but I love tutorials and patterns for other projects. I can't wait to see what everyone on the hop makes!
ReplyDeleteI love making little things to give as gifts for my family and friends for 'no reason at all". Your book looks like it will give me lots of inspiration. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I discovered you through Nana Company's blog! Your books looks amazing. I started out in sewing by making quilts, but as the years have rolled by I have expanded my sewing to include pillows, mini quilts, bags, purses, and everything in between! I love putting together beautiful fabric and notions to create something one of a kind!

I love to sew quick projects and get instant satisfaction for finishing something quickly. I love especially to make pouches, bags, pincushions, and baby quilts. For my longer projects I do lots of EPP and am happy to slowly take my time over creating something beautiful and using traditional hand sewing. Thanks for a great giveaway too. x
ReplyDeleteI sew kids clothes, bags, quilts, costumes, toys, I love it all. Now it is time to sew some new smaller quick projects, I think your book it just what I need. Thanks for fun giveaway of goodies to get us started.
