Vintage Vibe Book–The Blog Tour

Vintage Vibe

Today is my stop on the Vintage Vibe Book blog tour!  My very talented friend Amber is a blogger, pattern designer and now author!  Her book, Vintage Vibe is filled with lovely quilts, great ideas, and gorgeous photography.

I first got the chance to flip through her book at Quilt Market and I instantly fell in love with this quilt – called Dashing.  I just love a classic black and white quilt, but also I saw all of the fun possibilities with this pattern.

I pulled this stack of fabrics (Best Day Ever by April Rosenthal for Moda + some various low volume prints) as a possibility.  I’m still thinking about this though – all green and grays would be fun too.  Sometimes it's just so hard to decide.

The other quilts from the book that I love are this one called “Vintage Vibe"...

…and this one called “Skipper.”

You can buy a copy of Vintage Vibe here or from Amazon or add it to your Christmas list - it's not too late, right?  You'll love this book!

Be sure to check out the other stops on the blog hop.  Each blogger has chosen a different project to highlight so if you follow the entire tour, you’ll get to see all of them!  I’ll tell you now, it’s tough to choose just ONE favorite.

  5. Hey Andy! I'm behind in my blogging and checking in on the blog tour stops! But I'm happy to finally get a minute to stop by your blog! I think the Best Day Ever brights and low volumes would be fabulous for Dashing. I hope I get to see that someday! Thank you so much for participating in the Vintage Vibe Blog Tour and for your friendship! Hopefully we can get together after the holidays for a sew day! Merry Christmas!
