A couple of the projects that intrigue me are the lingerie project - I have a bunch of knit fabrics that will be perfect for these.
And my daughter wants a hat exactly like the one shown below. I think I will help her make it herself.
The book really does have something for everyone. It is the perfect gift for anyone just getting into sewing. It will expand their thinking about what kinds of things they can sew.

Hi Cherie! I'd love to win a copy of this book! My current favorite fabric is courderoy and I use it to make my daughter her very first stocking! :)
Cherie, I'm so happy for you that you're in the book! That's so wonderful!!!
I follow you through Google Reader (not sure if that counts).
I don't have just one favorite fabric... i'm a bit obsessed with them all! ;)

Congratulations for being in the book. How exciting! I love all fabrics, but mainly work with flannel and minky for the baby blankets I make.
I am on the hunt for some organic cotton and flannel right now. They are SO soft.
Thanks for the chance to win the book. It looks amazing.
I just joined your blog to follow it. You can reach me at hattiedesigns.kt at gmail dot com
Kathy from Hattie Designs and the etteam.
I am a blog follower and would love this book! My favorite fabric would have to be anything by Anna Maria Horner, and at this point I am just hoarding it! LOL I'll use it one day!
I would love to win this book! I follow your blog - love you!
WOW! Favorite fabric - that's quite a question for an avid quilter. Hmmm...I am going to have to give you a few I think... I really enjoy Camelot cottons 'Urban Art' line and Laura Gunn's Poppy fabric. I also have been enjoying creating my own on spoonflower and figuring out the perfect projects for it!
I just found your blog by googling for clear plastic bags for cards! :-) Round about way but I love blogs by other crafters.

Oops, I forgot to answer the favorite fabric question...right now, my fav fabric is fabric I weave myself! I'm a fairly new weaver and love making fabric then figuring out what to use it for! :-)
I'd love to win this book - love that hat that your daughter loves. Congrats for being IN the book!
I would love to win this, too fun!
Cherie, this is a great idea and I am excited about the possibility of winning this book!
I have lately begun recycling fabric into fun things with my Sizzix machine and love using ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, but I enjoy the vintage feel of muslin right now. I already follow you blog!

The more I read about this book, the more awesome it sounds! Love all the blog posts from other contributors, too!
YES! I'd love to win your drawing! As for fave fabric, hmmmmmm, not sure; I just got back into sewing in the past year or so - so much has changed, I need a how-to book for fun projects! (p.s. LOVE the hat you daughter has her eye on!! Cute!)
Hi Cherie! No need to enter me in the giveaway as I'm also a contributor. Just wanted to stop by, read your review and say congrats!
Thanks for the giveaway
Hi Cherie! Congrats on the book! I am already a follower of your blog. My favorite fabric? That's a hard one! I love all the choices of cottons for quilting. And I have recycled tattered quilts into teddy bears...so cute!
Hi Cherie, Congrats on being in the book.
My go to fabric is usually denim, but lately I've been experimenting with adding vinyl. Would love to transition to leather, but that's kind of scary to me right now.

My favorite fabric I've ever bought was actually an interpretation of Starry Starry Night that I bought to make a purse for my MIL since she loves it. I still have some bits here that I'm trying to figure out what to make with it.

I would love to win a copy, it looks great! My favorite fabric right now is lace. I don't know what I'm going to make yet but it's going to be fabulous.
i subscribe via email (new!) and my favorite fabric was the lace I made my wedding eil from.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this book. I just received a sewing machine for Christmas and I'm just so excited to put it to the test.
I'm a somewhat inexperienced sewer but my favorite fabric to work with in the past has been cotton. Simply because it's been the one fabric that I was reasonably successful using.

Cherie, congrats on being in this book. It looks amazing!
I love to work with linens because I love to embellish them by hand. I already subscribe to your blog.
Oooh, this book looks good!!! My current fave fabric is a piece of a Japanese silk kimono in a peachy color with chrysanthemums. I used some to make a patchwork ball for a new nephew, out of pentagons. It looks great, but I should have used stronger thread instead of a glam shiny one, because the soft-stuffed ball invites everyone to squeeeeeeze it.

Hi Cherie! What fun! I'd love to win this book. Please add me to the list : ) I have stacks of fabric, one of my first loves, recently I've been using fabric for backdrops for photographing my jewelry and gift items I sell on-line. ~ Jennifer
New follower! I love any kind of fun vintage fabric that I can get my hands on. Thanks for the chance!
I follow you on my RSS reader. I'm just learning to sew and have this beautiful pink flowy fabric I am going to make a dress for my daughter with. My email is duckysblue(at)gmail(dot)com
Cherie, I am now following your blog. I love fabric and making anything out of all kinds of fabric, so the book would be alot of fun
