MODKID SUMMER FUN, Virtual Book Tour... The End

Well, folks, as they say, all good things must come to an end. I hope you have been following along with the MODKID SUMMER FUN Virtual Book Tour, and entering to win a free book of your own at each stop. There were some amazing posts and super cute sewn items shared. I wish I could visit everyone personally and give them a big fat hug, but alas this virtual THANK YOU SQUEEZE will have to do! :)

Here is a quick recap of the virtual book tour (with some direct links to the posts):

• On April 1st, my dear friend, Jen Coe, of FabricBliss, shared the Swimsuit, Sun Hat and Beach Bag she made from the book: http://fabricbliss.blogspot.com/2014/04/modkid-summer-fun-blog-tour-and-giveaway.html

Today I am ALSO giving away a FREE copy of my new book, MODKID Summer Fun. All you have to do is leave me a comment and let me know if you've been following along with the tour and if there was a particular post you truly enjoyed... maybe a project you want to tackle yourself, or a story you found particularly sweet or funny. I will leave this contest up until next Wednesday, April 16th and then I will draw a winner. U.S. Residents will receive a paper copy and non US Residents will receive a digital copy of the book.

Good luck everyone! (don't forget to leave a way for us to contact you if you are the lucky winner!)

Also, you can purchase a signed copy on our website!

I leave you with a few of the photos we took along the way as we were designing the projects for the book:
