Congratulations, Amy, on a beautiful book!
Here are a few more of my favorites:
How on earth did you write a book with kids at home? (It's a good question, don't you think?) ;)
This is the million dollar question! I always tend to work in an assembly line which I think helps. But mostly I stopped and started a LOT! My most productive hours were (and still are), 8-midnight after the kids went to bed. During the day I would prep and cut fabric, and pin pieces so that I could systematically sew, and sew, and sew in the evenings.
My husband and kids were all very supportive and excited for the book, and helped out with extra chores around the house and dinner preparations. While challenging, I think sewing at the kitchen table helped too - I am always right in the middle of the house and all that is happening with the kids, and can quickly get involved as I'm needed.

How you all get so much done with kids is beyond me! I'm embarrassed to say I only finish a few quilts a year with 3 kids under foot...much less write a book as well! You both are true inspirations for us quilting momma's! Can't wait to get my hands on this book!
I saw Sew Fantastic's "tumbling cubes" quilt and now I'm obsessed with the patterns in this book. They look really exciting.
Am I too late? Hope not. Just saw this in a fabric shop yesterday and it looks amazing.
Such a great book!!
I really like the modern look crazymom got me into.... thanks for the chance to win the book. I'm working on my first kind of modern quilt right now!
