I've got a bit of an addiction to sewing, crafting, & scrapbooking books.
I am addicted to them, but I don't buy too many of them. I like to go to the bookstore and make a big stack of them then find a nice comfy chair and peruse...
These 3 I HAD to have... they are worth every penny (I ordered them all online and got good deals :))...
For a second I considered "sewing" myself through the new Martha sewing book... (Julie & Julia style..) then I thought it about it a bit longer and decided not too... But I am planning on making several projects in it, I'll share when I'm done.
The new Sandi Henderson book is beautiful. Lots of projects, and most of them are things that I would love to make...
Stitch Studios, picked this up at the store last week... I had never heard of this magazine before.. have I been living under a rock? It's awesome!!
needless to say, my ever growing to do list just got a lot longer :)

I have been eyeing those same books-I can't wait to see what you come up with!
I've heard pretty great things about all of those books. In fact, we have the Stitch magazine in our shop and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of it at our distributor to order a few! (might just go through the publisher instead) I think it would be fun to "sew" through one of those, maybe Sewing Bits and Pieces. I bet it won't be long before there is a flickr group for it at least. Thanks for sharing!

I just bought Stitch and love it too. I've got 6-8 projects marked to make soon.

fun reading, I'd love the stitch mag and the others too of course! I love looking at all the cool sewing books out there.
Thank you for the review! I was thinking about getting "Bits and Pieces"! The other two look great also!
I went to B & N to by Stitch yesterday and when I got there, I couldn't find it! So I went to the help desk and asked! They got on there computer and about 2 minutes later, they tell me that they had only ordered 2...I sat there and said Really, you only ordered 2 you have got to be kidding me. Those 2 had sold, and now they won't even get another one till June!
Such a wasted trip! I guess I will be ordering it online!
I love Stitch too! I'm pretty sure this is only the third issue, so it's pretty new;)
And the other two I have ordered! So excited to get them in the mail!
Enjoy your copies!
Just got 2 out of 3 of those myself! Can't wait to get stitchin' and to see what you make too!
