There have been so many amazing projects on the Make it Mini Book Tour Week 1! It’s always so fun to see projects made up with other fabrics – I can’t wait to show off what everyone made!
Make it Mini is my new book! It is filled with sweet mini quilts, all with a touch of embroidery. I have lots of ideas in the book for ways to personalize the quilts – with different embroidery, fussy cutting, applique, or other options.
This week we kicked off the book tour! Each day this week and next week, the most amazing quilters and designers are making up their versions of the quilts from the book. I can’t wait for you to see them!
Each of these designers is hosting a giveaway. They are all running their own giveaways and the tour started on Monday so you might have missed some of them. But definitely click through to see their projects and enter if you can! You can also find the schedule for next week at the bottom of the post. Make sure to visit each website on that day to enter as well!
Make it Mini Book Tour Week 1
We kicked off the week with Pat Sloan’s darling version of the Daisy Farm Barn Quilt. I love the soft colors she used!
Tuesday the fabulous Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter showed off her version of the Sweet Orchard quilt. She used a darker background, and I think it really makes her fabrics pop!
On Wednesday, we had two projects! Andy from A Bright Corner made up this colorful version of the Hexie Flowers quilt. Her stitching is so pretty!
In more cuteness, Lauren from Molly and Mama shared her version of the Stepping Stones quilt – and she used Enchanted Meadow fabric for it!
On Thursday, Erin from Aurifil shared her version of the Vintage Bouquet mini quilt. I just love the summery vibe this mini has. Her flowers are so pretty too!
To round out the week, Maddie from Riley Blake Designs shared her version of the Walking on Sunshine quilt! Maddie used Christmas fabrics for her quilt and personalized it by doing rounded corners. I think it turned out so great!
Aren’t they all amazing?! I was blown away by Make it Mini Book Tour Week 1!

I love minis. I think this book is a must-have.
I love mini’s. My sewing room wall is covered with them!
I love the minis in this book! I would love to make the hexi mini in different holiday fabrics especially Christmas and Valentine Day fabrics! ❤️
Love your new book. Everyone’s makes this week we’re amazing
I adore every single item from this book and it’s absolutely on my wish/NEED list. I think I’d make the farm one first because when I was in high school I moved from big city, gang filled San Diego to a tiny farming town in Washington state and I fell in love with the country life.
Sew excited for this book! I love minis and I love how you incorporated appliqué and embroidery into some of them.
This book is on my wish list! Love all the minis featured here especially the Stepping Stones quilt.
I would make The Sweet Orchard mini-quilt. So pretty.
I would make all of them!
I have just started making mini’s and would love to have this book. Thank you for the chance to win a copy.
So glad I checked this post! I have to go back and see what I missed on the tour!
Love the Hexie Flower Quilt❤️
My first project would be Sweet Orchard, my second would be the heart flower, my third would be… So many projects and they won’t take too much time so you can actually get to them all!
How about All the things. Cute
Walking on Sunshine is calling my name first. Would love it in some yellows.
So many minis are tempting! I think I need to make Hexie Flowers first.
So many cute minis. I have a wall in my sewing room to display them, This book would certainly fill it up.
My first mini from the book would be Walking on Sunshine! Those curves are luscious and look like a fun challenge! It would look so great on my sewing room wall, too!
I would make Spring Flowers because the design and fabrics are adorable plus I love to embroider. A perfect combination. Thanks for a chance to win. take care ~~rita
I would make the spring flowers mini as a pillow cover.
I have been wanting to try EPP so the Hexie project looks like a winner but I love them all.
I think I would start with the Walking on Sunshine quilt, but so hard to decide which one to start with!
