Giveaway Day!

I felt compelled to participate in Sew Mama Sew‘s May Giveaway Day this year. You may remember me mentioning it once upon a time when i randomly stumbled upon the glory that is is. I urge you all to check out the other bloggers participating this round, after commenting for your chance to win here, of course;)

For those of you just joining me, one of the things I enjoy making is bookcovers. So far, they are only sized for the average softcover novel (for your reference, I used the same book in all of these photos and it has 814 pages – works great on shorter novels too!). You can see some of the other ones I made here. I would love to post my pattern but after much thought I have decided that I need to work out all the kinks and I am hoping that this opportunity provided by Sew Mama Sew will allow that.

Therefore, I have decided to take a different approach to this giveaway. I have five book covers chosen, but I do not consider them completed projects. Instead, I consider them prototypes, but in truth I cant read that many books quick enough to see what the hangups are. So i am enlisting your help by kindly requesting that if you win, you report back to me with any and all your thoughts.

So here goes: the five different bookcovers, one of which very well might make it into your own hands! (Oh, not a reader yourself? Well surely you know someone who is!)

BUTTERFLY #1

This cover sports lightweight interfacing and lightweight (narrow wale) corduroy. One of the first covers I made, using my 2stitch method (see below for details). It also has a looped ribbon page marker, secured to a round shell bead. One butterfly on the front has been embroidered in a simple fashion.

BUTTERFLY #2

Identical to the first butterfly cover with two changes: A bit more stitching to secure the shell bead on the page marker and more elaborate stitching for one butterfly on the front of the cover.

BUTTERFLY #3

This cover is just like the first two except that the page marker sports sequins and beads which match the embellishment of one of the butterflies on the front cover.

SIMPLE GREY

This cover was made from a lightweight (narrow wale) corduroy with tiny embroidered flowers on it (i bought it that way), and lightweight interfacing. However, it was put together with my 4stitch method (see below for details). The page marker is a single ribbon (not looped) and does not have a finishing touch (although I did add some fray-check) – feel free to customize it with your favorite bead or button! :)

SPRING COTTON

This is the first cover I have made using quilters cotton rather than something thicker. I used a combination of lightweight and heavyweight interfacing to give it the sturdiness I feel comfortable with. It sports a few sequins and beads on the cover and spine. It also was made with my 4 stitch method. Like the Simple Grey, its page marker is unlooped and left undone (topped off with fray-check only – leave plain or add your own special touch!).

The difference between my 2 stitch and 4 stitch is simple. 2 stitch bookcovers have unfinished (raw) edges hiding under the flaps. 4 stitch bookcovers have finished edges under the flap. Both ways work quite fine for the purpose of a bookcover, and when I finally post the pattern, both options will be noted. I have simply decided that I like the extra two lines of stitching more.

And now you know what Im offering, so let the fun begin!

Five random winners from anywhere in the world will be selected from those who follow these rules:

1. Please be kind and enter only once

2. Tell me your favorite book of all time or favorite author (and anything else youd like to say;)

3. You must include a way for me to contact you

4. By commenting, you agree to provide me feedback on your thoughts and how well the cover endures (and also to not steal the pattern for commercial use!) Simple things like : Did the stitching hold? Was the interfacing too stiff? Did anything about it annoy you? Etc etc. Honest answers for an honest crafter.

This giveaway is open until 11:59pm central time on May 20th and I will ship internationally so anyone can participate. I will then select five commenters randomly and announce the winners and ship the prizes by May 24th. I moderate comments (shame on spammers!), so dont worry if you do not see them post right away – they will still post in the order commented:)

Good luck and huzzah! :D

I’m a lover of many books but in the spirit of crafting my favourite inspiration comes from a book written in the 70s by a woman called Edith Schaeffer the title is ‘Hidden Art’ and it is about inspiring the creative in all of us as a response to the creator’s fingerprint in us all. I love your covers and I would be thrilled to read anyu book with such a lovely cover!

  12. I love the butterfly bookcovers, I am a gardener …. And they are so colorful.
    MY favorite writer is difficult to say, it depends on the period of my life. Simone de Beauvoir was years ago my favorite. At the moment I am very busy crafting so I don’t read a lot. A writer taht I also love is SImenon, we learned French by the commissaire Maigret books.

  13. Beautiful! My favourite book – argh, I couldn’t choose just one!! My favourite recent read would be “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez because it’s just epic and incredible and I read it in dreamy snatches of time, late at night while nursing my son… :)

    Great giveaway, thanks!

  22. That is a fantastic idea, who would not want to read a book with such a lovely cover on it! I love reading and usually pick up my books from the library. I don’t have a favorite book but I love historical novels where the story has been based around actual fact. Phillipa Gregory writes good stories and Con Iggulden is brilliant at a historical novel. email jenni@skea.com

    Miriam said this on May 17th, 2010 at 5:33 am

  28. My favourite book of all time is Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence. I’ve read it at least once a year for the past 15 years… Usually more often. And every single time I feel the same wildly fluctuating range of emotions — hope, despair, resignation, passion… I think it’s time to get it down from the shelf again. :)

    Katherine said this on May 17th, 2010 at 5:40 am

  29. I am an avid reader so this would be perfect for me! :D
    I love, love, love the Spring Cotton cover. I would love to test it out for you and let you know how it holds up. ;)

    It is sooo hard to choose my absolute favourite book of all time, so I will tell you one of my favourites. It’s “A Painted House” by John Grisham. Not his usual style of writing, but he’s so darn good at it he should try more in this style. I was so sad when I finished reading it.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Kelly said this on May 17th, 2010 at 5:42 am

  34. Very cute covers. These would be great for my library books. The baby has an unnatural urge to just chomp on the covers.

    I love the Phantom Tollbooth. My sister and I would fight over the book as kids, and I still love reading it.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Anyway . . . mutter mutter mutter . . .
    My favourite book of all time is Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. I own four different versions of it and am always on the lookout for me. I actually plan to learn Russian so that I can read it in it’s original language.
    I love to read, but AK is and always will be my fave!

  52. What lovely book covers! No favorite book of all time, but the ones I re-read regularly are: Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Away by Jane Urquhart. I don’t know why I’m compelled to read these regularly (once every year or two), but the world stays in balance when I do. Do you re-read?

  54. My favourite book of all time is “To Kill a Mockingbird” – I read it at a crucial time in my adolescence and I think some of the lessons from that book are still with me today.

    I adore reading – and I love these book covers. It’s so nice to be able to look after your books while they’re in your handbag.

    Thanks for offering this giveaway!

  59. My favorite book of all time is Pride and Prejudice. I’m a huge Austen fan. I would also have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Georgette Heyer books as well. Just like Austen, they are really fun and romantic love sotries.

    Love your book covers, especially the grey one. Got my fingers crossed I’m a winner.

  71. My favorite book of all time is Go Ask Alice. It’s a fairly old book but it’s about a teenage girl who gets her Coke spiked with drugs and then lives a life with drugs. I’ve kept that book for darn near 20 years and once I unpack it (from moving) I will probably read it again. That is one book that I can reread!!

    Michelle Balletti said this on May 17th, 2010 at 8:08 am

  72. My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Especially being from the South, this book just speaks to me and the incredibly sad history of our culture. What a gem!

    Kelli said this on May 17th, 2010 at 8:10 am

  75. I love the butterflies with sequins! Actually I love the whole idea! My book covers usually end up tattered and torn, so one of these would be fabulous. I guess I would say that one of my favorite authors is Anne Rice. She makes fantasy so believable! Please enter me in your draw, and visit me at my blog!

  77. I love to read!. My favorite author is Karen Kingsbury, I think I’ve read all her books. My BFF also is a reader, and I’ve been thinking of making her a book cover, and of course me too. So, I’d love the pattern someday.

    Suzanne Neuhaus said this on May 17th, 2010 at 8:19 am

  78. My favorite Adult book right now is Wicked by Gregory Maguire, which the book is a hit broadway play in Chicago, that I wish to see someday!

    I’m also addicted to the series The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley, which is more for young readers (9-12 y/o).

    Megan Berry said this on May 17th, 2010 at 8:45 am

  87. I am an avid reader – to choose just one favorite? I love Jane Austin, for those girly moments. I love Stephen King, to be scared out of my mind. I love Shakespeare, for confusion and wit… oh, the list goes on and on!

    Thanks for offering up the bookcovers!

    Lisa said this on May 17th, 2010 at 9:06 am

  94. I love your bookcovers! My favorite book of all time has to be Jane Eyre although A Tale of Two Cities has to be a close second. I get so emotionally wrapped up in both those books and I can pick them up whenever and always enjoy them!

  97. I love the classics… Jane Austen, Charles Dickens. However, there a limited number of those so I fill the vast void with books like the “Odd Thomas” series by Dean Koontz, “Eragon” series, “Harry Potter” series. I tend to find a write I like and read that person’s books until I have exhausted their writings or I get bored with their style.

I’m an avid reader, lately I am enjoying Nora Roberts Bride series, Allison Brennon thrillers, I can’t wait for paperbacks for Laurell Hamiliton’s Anita Blake series or her Meredith series. Favorite book of all time…humm I think Gone with the Wind.

    Ellen-Ann Robinson said this on May 17th, 2010 at 10:23 am

  120. Love the butterfly cover. My favourite book for a long time was Bridge to Terabithia {long before it was a movie!} For my adult life I would say Coming Through Slaughter by Michael Ondaatje.{anything by Michael is worth reading more than once, in my humble opinion} Also Alice Munro! Thanks for the chance.

  124. This is just an adorable idea. I love books – I read like a fiend… my idea of a good time is getting a pile of books at the library! It is therefore hard for me to pick an author, but I’d say Marion Zimmer Bradley. Her Darkover series is my absolute favorite fictional world… I never tire of reading those books, especially Heritage of Hastur and Sharra’s Exile.

    2. My favorite book of all time?? Wow! That’s a really hard one, there are SO many but for now I think I’m going to have to go with ‘Outlander’ by Diana Gabaldon. It’s sooooooooooo good! If you haven’t read it I would highly recommend it. Lots of action, adventure, romance, history, laughs, tears. Give it a try, you will not regret it.

  184. My favorite book of all time is The Gifts of the Child Christ by George MacDonald. There are two volumes of MacDonald’s short stories–fairy tales, mostly, but some of them so poignant and powerful I find myself in tears, even as an adult. :-) My copies of both volumes of this book are well-loved and could use covers to sustain them through the next generation of readers :-)

    Thank you so much for your generosity!

  218. This is such a lovely idea. I honestly miss covering my books from high school. Can’t believe it never occurred to me to cover a regular ‘ol reading book.

    I have many “favorite books of all time.” It’s very hard to choose, but today I’ll choose The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.

    *kate said this on May 17th, 2010 at 4:28 pm

  224. I love AA Milne and the Winnie the Pooh stories. I know it might sound a bit naff but whenever I hear them they remind me of winter evenings sitting on my Grandads knee as he read them aloud to me. He has been gone for nearly 30 years but I can still hear his voice!
    These are such beautiful books – someone is going to be very lucky to win one!!!

    ‘One second after’ by William R. Forstchen …was another book that stayed with me. Wasn’t my favorite but I think it needs to be mentioned.

  272. These are lovely! I especially like the spring cotton, the sequins really pop! My favorite book is The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. It’s autobiographical, she lost her husband and her daughter within a month of each other, which is so devestating, yet the book is beautiful and so touching.

    Jen said this on May 17th, 2010 at 9:50 pm

  275. Lovely idea. I once bought a book at a second hand book fair that had been covered in fabric and was dated inside 1922! My favourite author is Ashley Warlick – if you haven’t read her books, do!

    Naomi said this on May 17th, 2010 at 10:15 pm

  276. What a coincidence! I just checked out a book from the library on how to make book covers. I have lots of fabric scraps that would lend themselves to book covers. Yours are particularly pretty, with their extra details and embroidery. I would love to be your guinea pig and report back on how they wear. I read a LOT and any cover will get a real workout. I know how important feedback is and would be happy to give you my honest opinion.

    My favorite book of all time is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. The heroines experiences practically mirror my life as a foreigner in Japan. I just nod in agreement throughout the entire book! (And once you read Outlander, you will have to read the rest of the series. That will keep you busy for awhile!)

    I like the Simple Grey and Spring Cotton covers the best, just in case I win!:-)

    I’d love to see you enter my giveaway too, so stop by and visit my blog sometime this week.

    I love reading so much that there is no way I could choose just one favorite book! My favorite book as a child was a fairy tale titled “Snow White and Rose Red”.

  291. Wow! I love your book covers! Super clever. I love Morris West novels! Full of spies, priests, smart good and smart bad guys. He’s widely known for writing “The Shoes of the Fisherman.”

    Be sure to check out my giveaway too!

  292. Favorite book of all time? That’s a hard one! My favorite author would have to be John Grisham but favorite book is hard to narrow down.

    Jen said this on May 18th, 2010 at 12:34 am

  293. Gorgeous creations! Even a ‘boring’ book would be enticing with a cover like those. :) My all-time favourite author is Francine Rivers…beautifully written real-life novels.

  294. Oooh… I like these. My favorite book is Anne of Green Gables–now I get to read it to my kiddos!

    sarah said this on May 18th, 2010 at 12:46 am

  295. Oooh, I really like the grey and spring cotton!

    I hesitate to call them my “favorite” (I’ve never been able to pick one book or author!), but I have fond memories of reading the “Little House on the Prairie” series as a child and am bound and determined to make sure my kiddo has the set too.

  296. Ooh I love these! I’m constantly bringing home books from our library and I would love to dress them up for the short time I have them!
    I can’t get enough of non-fiction books. Currently reading the Eye of the Whale… really quite fascinating! thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

  297. Loving these book covers….I can cover up my books on the train to work so people dont know what I’m ready!!!

    My favourite book of all time is The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton – I have my mums very dogeared copy, my own childhood copy and my daughter has them all too…it is a timeless classic for all little girls.

    Vicky said this on May 18th, 2010 at 2:05 am

  298. These are beautiful, and an absolutely lovely idea. My favourite author would have to be John Crowley, but Ali Smith, Susanna Clarke and Lemony Snicket all come a close 2nd equal at the moment!! You can contact me through my blog. All the best with these!

  302. Hi there – I work in a bookstore and think your book covers are a great idea to protect the books I haul around to preview, and also to hide the more embarrassing titles!

    My favourite book is Master and Margarita – Mikhail Bulgakov.

    Best of luck with your Giveaway Day.

    Hayley said this on May 18th, 2010 at 3:51 am

  303. My favourite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. The first time I read it was when I was in high school and I have read it several times since. It’s funny that each time I read it I half hope that the ending changes because it is so sad.

    Hayley said this on May 18th, 2010 at 4:44 am

  304. Beautiful crafting!
    My fave author is Paul Jennings ;)

    jen said this on May 18th, 2010 at 5:02 am

  305. I love this idea! What a clever notion. It’s difficult for me to choose just one favourite author. I love J.R.R Tolkien, he’s such a descriptive writer. I love Jane Austen, and her insights into the society that she was living in. And I adore Georgette Heyer, pure romance with a lot of wit and humour thrown in!

    Lorilee said this on May 18th, 2010 at 5:34 am

    Amanda said this on May 18th, 2010 at 6:24 am

  307. How lovely! Please include me.

    My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. I know the story well but it’s so well written I feel like the nuances of the characters are always just a little bit different each time.

    My email is above and you can contact me that way.

    Becky said this on May 18th, 2010 at 6:48 am

  308. I read all the time so picking a favorite book is really hard! But my favorite author right now is Lee Child. I’ve read 5 of his books, have 2 more at home and 2 on hold at the library :)

    Kathi said this on May 18th, 2010 at 7:50 am

  315. Favourite books are a tie between – ‘A lesson before dying’ by Ernest J. Gaines and ‘The Girls’ by Lori Lansens. I love all the above covers and promise to never steal your pattern ;)

    Jen said this on May 18th, 2010 at 7:50 am

  316. All these covers are just great! Since I really don’t like damaging my books, I’m looking forward to seeing the pattern.
    For now, my favorite book of all times is one I had to read & study for my exams, some years ago… The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy: a beautiful love story in India, which even made me cry (well, rather the way it is written, as it transcends the story).
    I’d advise it to anyone!

  332. hello there! it’s very nice to meet your blog. this is what i love about giveaway day!
    i love your book covers. i read A LOT. i’m a proof reader during the day, the daughter of a librarian and an avid reader in my free time. i love really big books, because the small ones don’t last a day, that’s how fast i read.
    so this bookcover would be very appreciated and i know that i’m only one in hundred of participants, but i had to try my luck. i really love the butterflies and the spring cottong. they are adorable!!! i would give you all the feedback you would require, that’s always the best way to improve our work, after all.
    my favourite book of all times is “one hundred years of solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. there is also a great portuguese book called “Os Maias”, by Eca de Queiroz, which is my favourite portuguese book of all times. yes, i’m from Portugal. :)
    more recently, i discovered that i like Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga books, which was totally unexpected because vampires are so not my thing, but go figure!

    i wish everyone good luck in the hundreds of giveaways going on worldwide. a big thank you for all the hosts who are so generous and specially those who allow international participants like me :)

    To be honest I am reading the Harry Potter series with my son right now which is really enjoyable.
    So for a good story and quality time with my son my vote is J.K Rowling.

    Stacey said this on May 18th, 2010 at 12:06 pm

  335. i guess my favorite book of all time is Wrinkled In Time by Madeline L’Engle…this is the book that fostered my love of reading when I was 10 years old. Ive read it a few times over the years…still good, can’t wait for my kids to be old enough to enjoy it! I love Jane Austen too, and the Harry Potter series.

  339. I love the SIMPLE GREY though all three are beautiful. My favorite book (and I just heard that they are making a movie starring Julia Roberts) is Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert…I couldn’t put the book down, read it in record time and then read it again.

  372. These are so perfect! I hope you can get the feedback you’re looking for. I don’t have a favorite book. It always depends on my mood. Currently I’ve been reading vampire books simply because I have two little ones that take a lot of brain power from me and so I appreciate an easy read. Especially since my reading time tends to be late at night.

    I generally don’t win things but wanted to suggest maybe leaving off the embellishments on the actual covers. I know that I do most of my reading while in bed and it seems like they would make the experience slightly uncomfortable??? They are adorable though!

    I also think it would very cool if you could somehow attach a handle to it so it could be like a mini purse.

Yes, it’s new book, but it was the first to combine science fiction and romance. In addition, the lead character, Henry, is completely flawed and I fall for him every time! p.s. the movie version was horrendous!

  390. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for ages, but am a bit daunted by them (I’m a beginner sewer). Yours are really brautiful. I read LOTS, in French and English and I’d have to say my all time favourites in each language are Pride and Prejudice by Jane AUsten and Les liaisons dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos.

  391. This is a hard question for me to answer! but my favourite author of all time would have to be Lesley Thomas. She writes a great series about an English detective with his best friend a dog and all their antics! Lots of fun to read and will keep you gripped!

  394. My favourite author of all times is Terry Pratchett (in particular: the Discworld series) and I’m re-reading one of his books right now.

    I’d love one of your book covers because especially pocketbooks lose their crisp look so quickly! It’d be nice to protect them!

    Thanks!

    Christine said this on May 19th, 2010 at 6:59 am

  395. They’re beautiful covers! I’d love to learn how to make them, so you can protect the book you’re reading at the moment. I have too many favourite authors! but the one that comes to my mind right now is Roald Dahl and his collection of short stories.

Now, as the mom of tweens, it’s a luxaury to have the time to read anything. Today my most favorite is I Capture the Castle. These book covers are so perfect. I want them all!

  422. One of my favorite books is And The Shofar Blew by Francine Rivers. It’s a wonderful book. For a long time running I would say she was my favorite author, but I read through all her books and needed more. =) So I moved onto Beverly Lewis and Karen Kingsbury. With that said I don’t think I have one favorite, but three.

  443. so many to choose from, but the classic I come back to time and time again is Pride and Prejudice. I can’t count the times I have studied it or read it for pleasure, it still makes me smile. However I also occasionally crave a dodgy vampire novel, so one of these bookcovers would be perfect for hiding that fact from my colleagues at work!

I lobe reading and recently got a nook and a cover for it but of course there are still paperbooks still waiting to be read (or re-read, like my favorite book ever, the popular old classic, j.d. Salinger’s, “The Catcher in the Rye,”) that feel naked without a cover!! I’d be happy to write a review andfurther spread craft and reading love :). Thanks for the opportunity!!

  478. Oh man… favorite book. I’ve been reading a lot of stuff lately and it’s hard to rate those against old favorites of mine. My favorite book looking back is probably Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. My favorite book from within the last 3 years though is probably The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

    As far as favorite author goes I’d have to lean to Philip K Dick… not everything he’s written has been wonderful but it’s just about all interesting… and Ubik sticks with me.

    This sentence is just to make the already too long post even longer.
