New Fabrics and a Giveaway
We have just received some of Anna Maria Horner's new line Innocent Crush.
These velveteens are crying out to become a cozy fall skirt, or a couple of soft pillows for you couch, can you hear them?
Also, we have some new colorways of Anna Maria's Square Dance.
The past incarnations of this fabric were printed on a textured, dobby fabric, this time around the print is on untextured voile.
To celebrate this great influx of Anna Maria's fabrics, we're giving two lucky readers a copy of one of Anna Maria's Books - Handmade Beginnings or Seams to Me.
This giveaway is open to Twin Cities residents only.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment here, and I'll randomly choose the winners next Friday, November 26th.
Tell us what you're sewing, tell us about your stash, let us know how you feel about the recent snowfall.
Happy Sewing, and best of luck!

Best of Treadle Flickr Group
You guys have been coming through big-time with some beautiful sewing on the Treadle Yard Goods flickr group and I have a few to share here.
First, we have this lovely ensemble from Julia at minecreations.
She made the Eclair Dress from Colette Patterns, and it is just beautiful.
As a bonus, she had enough silk left over to make a matching tie for her fiance!
As we are nearly half-way through November, it's also a good time to talk about holiday sewing.
We have a fine example here - Jenna made this advent calendar out of wool felt.
This looks like a great way to use up scraps hanging around the house!
We do so love to see what you're sewing!
Head over to flickr and share your photos too!

Book Review Corner
It's time for Book Review Corner again!
Today, we have two titles from the lovely and talented Anna Maria Horner -
Seams to Me and Handmade Beginnings.
Seams to Me is a manual for beginning sewing,
and Anna has some great chapters about choosing the correct fabric, finding the right tools, laying out patterns and beginning sewing techniques.
This book has a nice mix of whimsical and practical projects.
I would love to make this art piece,
what fun!
There are clothes for youngsters,
clothes for grown-ups,
and fun accessories.
Handmade Beginnings is full of more wonderful patterns,
many of which are for the pampering of the prospective and new mother.
Anna also has included patterns for clothes and accessories for the new baby
and even some projects for elder siblings 
so they feel included in all of the family excitement!
Both of these books have an envelope of patterns in the back, and they are spiral-bound, so they stay open while you're working, a big plus for me.
If you have used any good, or not so good, sewing or crafting books lately, drop us a note in the comments. We're always looking for more books to highlight in our Book Review Corner!
