Anna Marie Horner. Anna Marie has 6, yes SIX, children and has recently written
Handmade Beginnings 24 Sewing Projects to Welcome Baby. She was at Quilt Market and check out her booth:
| The booth was totally amazing and beautiful. I loved the sofa and it was so much fun to watch Anna's visitors come by and visit with her.... |
Oh to be in such good company!!! |

Look at all these beautiful booties and outfits. Who could not want to dress their precious little baby in these lovelies?
There is something for every expecting mother out there and some wonderful projects for those with grown children too. I love the embroidered photos of her children that she has done. She shares how to make these beautiful photos in her book.
Just write a book....well that would appear to be for underachievers...LOL. Check out Anna Marie's entire website to see her Fabric Line, Patterns, Books, Paper Goods and Home Decor....
just click here, she is one impressive woman!!
You can imagine my excitement when I saw that
Checker Distributors was hosting a book signing for
Anna Marie Horner,
Handmade Beginnings 24 Sewing Projects to Welcome Baby. I arrived early!!

Dang - the first commenters never win! My sister-in-law is pregnant with her first and I want to spoil her rotten with handmade goodness!
ReplyDeleteI have two new Moms to see for. A co-worker just had her baby this past Saturday and the other lives across the street and her baby is 7 months old. I could use the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteEverybody and their dog are getting grandbabies....not me...nope....nope...not me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the information you put out there, you and Darlene are a wealth of knowledge.
I just had a nephew born June 1 and another who is turning one in August, so I'd love the chance to own the book. AMH is such a great designer. Thanks for the giveaway - hope you enjoyed Minnesota, my home state!
ReplyDeleteWow, she and her booth are amazing! I have a new baby cousin arriving in November, and I'd LOVE to make something fun and different for them! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOne of my co-workers is expecting a the end of August - she is having a girl - I raised all girls and sewed for them all and now sew for my granddaughters - I hope to make her daughter something special - would love to win!

I have a good friend whose son and daughter in law are expecting. I am making them a quilt and maybe if I have time a nappybag. Those adorable shoes would be just the thing! I am going to sew a lot in the coming weeks for this baby!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandbaby lives in Florence, Italy. I would love to use my Aurifil thread and stitch some really cute things to show those Italians how fashionable we Americans can be!
ReplyDeletemy stepdaughter is huge AMH fan, and she's due with her first child in February -- that's my first grandbaby!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to pass this to her if I win.
Somebody in the family is always having a baby, so I'm sure I'll find someone. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteMy friend Debbie down the street is expecting her 3rd little girl. I was going to make a basic quilt, but would love some other ideas!
ReplyDeleteI have an 20 month old and a 5 month old and I LOVE making things for my kids and also gifts. This looks like such a great book. Hopefully soon I'll get to make more baby things for myself!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kelly--A new little girl has just arrived in our extended family. Her name is Lily Isabel--isn't that pretty? She lives in Brooklyn, NY and I have just been thinking about what to make for her, so this book would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteCount me in. My daughter had a baby 12 days ago. I'd love to make some of those darling shoes.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Kelly, that book is on my wish list. My son and his wife just had a baby girl - my first grandchild is three months old. AND my stepdaughter is expecting a baby boy in October. I can sew for both of them!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I am interested in this book. There are two expectant moms in our family. My niece, who is expecting a girl, and my nephew's wife who is expecting their first baby. We are calling my sister Granny now because she will be a first time grandma. So, we have lots of sewing that we want to do for quilts and more. There are several things in the book description that look good besides the Dad Bag! Thanks for another fun giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have a good friend who just recently had a baby boy named Waylon. My brother's gf also had a baby boy named Kentlee. So, I have plenty of babies to sew for.
ReplyDeleteThe babies in our family always show up when I don't have time to sew~ I'd love to be a little ahead of the game and have some cute outfits made beforehand! :-) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI just have a special nephew loved by all of us. This would be so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI have a special nephew that we all love. Would enjoy this book.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter in law is going to have a new baby in Dec, I would love to win this.
ReplyDeleteHi I just found out tonight that my second daughter is pregnant. This will be granchild number 2 for us and I am hoping for a girl this time - mind you, my two year old grandson is lovely and lots of fun. I would love to win this and get sewing. Thanks for making this possible. Sandra. sdownes@oceanbroadband.net
ReplyDeleteWell, my cousin is having a baby! And i do love to sew!!!
ReplyDeleteI am expecting #6 any day now. My due date is actually Aug 2nd. But my doc leaves for africa July 24th and doesn't come back till Aug 5th. so I'm hoping to have this baby now or wait a couple more weeks. What a fun prize thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy niece just had a baby girl and a best friend at church is expecting a boy. I feel like I am way behind on my baby sewing. And my sister-in-law and brother-in-law just became great grandparents. pamspinks.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI don't have any expectant moms in the family right now, but I have two daughters (ages 21 and 23) and 25 nieces/nephews who are all starting to get married.....so I can see needing lots of baby gifts in the not-too-distant future!
ReplyDeleteI live in Utah. There is always a baby around somewhere. It looks like a fun book. Thanks for the chance.
