Tanya is sharing a free project from Sew What You Love; you can download your free Travel Checkers PDF Project download here today!
From Tanya: First just want to say thanks so much to Kristin for letting me talk about my book, Sew What You Love, today on Sew,Mama,Sew! The description is below but what I really want to say about the book is that I tried really hard to yes, make attractive, easily achievable projects, but also, it was really important to me that the book not have a lot of "filler" projects. Now, I guess what counts as "filler" is subjective but I really wanted the projects to be ones people would use on an everyday basis as opposed to once in a while or things that were purely decorative. Purely decorative things are wonderful but I have an obsession with usefulness. If I make it, I want to use it, not just look at it. Anyway thanks for reading this– Here's the description, and Happy 2012 sewing and creating to everyone!:
- Sew What You Love includes 30 projects plus a few extra super fast and easy little projects. It features projects for Little Ones including toys, skirts, tops and bedding. Projects like the Soft Fabric Shade, Apple Pie Ottoman, and Design as You Go Quilt from the Home section are both stylish and useful. The Personal Style section provides patterns and instructions for easy to make, versatile and stylish dresses, skirts, tops and more. And the Bags section includes a variety of stylish options for two totes, a hobo, a clutch, and a structured little bag with old fashioned appeal. Three large pattern sheets are tucked into an envelope at the back of the book. The book includes simple techniques for sewing with knits, using elastic thread, and bag construction.
We'll select two lucky winners for Tanya's giveaway today!

from Debra
I started sewing a few years ago, but have yet to make anything for myself! Most of what I've done has been for my children or for gifts-I would love to try one of her dresses!
I haven't seen the button shirt dress since the 80's. I had one and it was the most comfortable dress I had. It was also flattering on me. Love the styles.
I am new your your Blog, but I will Not be a stranger in
the future. Love your flower tutorials.
I was just looking at this book! Very fun.
I haven't sewn from Tanya's patterns before but I'd love to give it a try. Great giveaway.
Great book-great ideas-great giveaway. Thanks!
Love all the patterns, especially the purses and ottomans! Fabrics are gorgeous and fun colors! Thank you for sharing this opportunity!!
I made my first quilt with Tanya's fabric!
These patterns are awesome! It is difficult to decide which to start first! Good luck everyone!
everything looks so bright and springy – a nice contrast with the blue-grey-white winter scene playing out outside my window right now!
I love the sugar hill line. Very pretty. Would love to win! Thanks for the opportunity.
Oooooh. I have to make that red dress! Well and a bag to match!
Love her style…and those bags! thanks for sharing some inspiration during the dreary month of January!
I'm a brand new sewer and am excited at the opportunity to win a beautiful book to instruct me through some easy, fabulous projects. Thanks for the chance.
Wow, everything is so beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂
I love Tanya's fabric. I haven't tried any of her patterns yet but I'm dying to.
Those dresses are adorable, I'll have to check out the book…
Ooooh! Thanks for the chance to win. I have this book on hold at the bookstore right now. Those dresses look perfect, like the kind of thing I'd made in 10 colors and wear every day. I've been a fan of her fabrics for a long time, too.
The pleated clutch is really cute and I can see it in all sorts of fabrics!
I love how classic and stylish each project is
I love Tanya's tote patterns. Don't know which one to make first!
Very very nice. Enjoyed reading. Really want the book. thanks
Tanya's style is so fresh and clean…I love them because they feel both rather classic/vintage yet new and "now." Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the idea of "simple and useful." I'm really new to sewing, so I'll definitely look up Tanya's work. Thanks for giving me this information, and thanks for the giveaway!
Gosh, these are lovely! I'm definitely with Tanya on the usefulness idea, so I'll definitely have to look this up! Especially since I'm a newbie to sewing–simple and useful sounds great to me!
The first pattern I ever sewed was Tanya's fleamarket bag. I pulled it off without a hitch, and then another, and another! She writes very clear instructions, easy for a beginner. And I love the vintage feel of her fabric collections.
Tanya's style of simplicity and fun attracted me instantly. I am relatively new at sewing/quilting, and can't wait to try her patterns…I also must find the fabric used on the bag pictured on her book cover!! LOVE!!
I haven't made any of hertterns but would love the chance, thanks.
I also have an obsession with making things that are useful, and beautiful with easily achievable is a bonus!
The fabric is beautiful and is shown off great with her projects! thanks!
The dresses in Tanya's book are gorgeous and are totally my style! I would definitely love to try sewing up one of those for the summer.
Loving the shoulder bag… And the pouf pillow ottoman is adorable! Count me in, please!
Love the projects and the fabric!
I love the "pouf" seat – I just said yesterday that I need something by the fireplace and this may just be it. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love Tanya's fabrics, I have some Darla and Delilah which I am keeping to make my daughter a quilt – some Sugar Hill would sure go well with them!
I always love hearing about new books coming out 🙂 The red dress in the top right of the mosaic is beautiful! That would be the first thing I made…
Like the fabrics used so much. These designs are very nice. Would like to quilt more this year.
Wow, that little cap sleeved number looks awesome. I love the light filled look of the book. Congratulations!
Love the look of this book. Fingers crossed for me!!

May I please have that faux wrap dress? Beatiful! And thanks for the checkers idea 🙂
Ohhh that book looks great, and I have always loved Tanya's fabric! Jodi B.
This is my first look at a blog and I am excited to get more sewing ideas. I am a quilter and I want to do more now that I am a first time Grandma.
thanks for the giveaway opp.. i like your fabric choices for your projects.
There are so many gorgeous fresh looking projects in this book! I'd love to win so I can try them all out.
love the beautiful dresses and bags. pretty fabric!
Ooooh, I want to make one of those dresses…or maybe all of them!
This game is such a clever idea and so portable, especially on low cost flights where weight is restricted. I can't wait to get this book, I have made several of her bags and love her fabric ranges. ♥
I would love to make that bag
Have not worked with any of her patterns, but I love her fabric! Always so feminine and pretty!
So many cool ideas in the book. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a great giveaway! I have been eyeing this book out for awhile! I'm not sure what I would sew first; maybe a bag for myself! I love the great colors in the new fabrics too!
This book looks terrific. The dresses look amazing. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love Tanya's fabric collections. Her blog is one of favs! Can't wait to check out this book.
Very cute ideas! I love the poufs!
I've had my eye on this book! I really like the cover bag and several of the projects inside. The fabric is just incredible!! Thanks for the chance to win!
All of her projects are lovely! I especially adore the dress on the top right corner of her collage! And her fabrics are among my favorites!
I think I am too late to enter the giveaway, but I just want to say that I LOVE the projects shown here. I'm big on things that are useful and beautiful. Thanks for sharing it!
I just LOVE Tanya Whelan's fabrics and have used them for tons of projects…purses and totes, key fobs, table runners, and my latest love – pincushions. I need some of that Sugar Hill fabric asap! And if I don't win a copy of that book, I'll wish for one for my upcoming birthday.
I love the look of the wonmen's dresses in the new book. This would be great to win especially because one of my resolutions for the year is to sew some clothes for myself. Usually my girls get all of the goodies!
I love looking at photos of items made from Tanya's fabrics – it's such a beautiful, fresh, colour palette. I have been a fan ever since I discovered the "flea market bag" Her new book looks lovely!
I love floor pillows….book looks inspiring.
Great book. love your blog
I would love to win this book! Lots of projects inside that I want to make especially the foot stool poof. Thanks, Pam
ive never heard of this book …. it looks a divine win.x
I adore the bags and I am so inspired by the beatiful fabric! Thank you!
The checkers board looks really nice and handy ! Looks like I have to whip this up before my vacay next month 🙂
The book looks lovely, so many beautiful and useful things to make, in inspired fabrics. I'm particularly struck by the bag, clutch and cushions…
I am new to all things Tanya, even Sugar Hill! But I have to say I need to have all those things in that picture mosaic in my life. Those mosaics would look amazing in my daughter's room. She is 16 and I know she needs a stack of them for when her friends come over. And that shirt…Oh my…I need that!!! Oh and bag and the pinkish colored dress….I could go on forever. I sure hope I win this book. If not….I am going to be forced to order it. Thanks for the chance. Great photos.
I totally love the second dress in the first row!!
I love the dress in the upper right corner!
It is exactly what I am looking for – since years…
I think I would try making one of the dresses in the book using some of that beautiful fabric.
I've never seen a book with so many adult clothing projects that I'm itching to sew, sneak peaks from her blog makes me want to sew the strapless polka dot dress. The bags sound lovely too.
That looks like a good book.
I love the dress patterns. It certainly looks like a lovely book. Thanks for the chance.
I totally agree about wanting things I sew to be super useful! I love the cube and the v-neck dress from the new book and would be super excited to receive one along with some of her fabulous new fabric: I'm particularly enchanted by the diagonal plaids to pair with the fresh floral prints. Thank you for the giveaway!
I love the look of the dresses in the book. I've been wanting to try sewing clothes.
those stcking pillows look so fun. i also like the fancy dresses. she says they are easy… i sewed my wedding dress and boning can be tricky. i also like the look of those boxes, blocks, whatever they are. they look like a fabulous way to use up fave pieces of scrap. the see thru shirt though… i'm not so sure about. thanks for a fun chance to win something!! this blog rocks!!
I think I'd be sewing the bag on the cover of Tanya's book if I win it! Gorgeous!
what a lovely book – I love all the clothes!
What a beautiful book. The pictures suggest there are several projects I would enjoy making.
I love the floor pillows. They look like a project I would like to tackle.
I love the red dress in the top right corner of the projects. 🙂
Being new to sewing I like small projects. This book looks fun.
What a wonderful book! I love the idea of new projects for the new year!
I love these fabrics and I'm definitely going to have to get my hands on this book!
I've been wanting to sew myself a dress for the first time ever. That one with the v-neck and sleeves looks perfect.
LOVE bags! Bags! Bags! What a great book. Love the fun style.
Lovely! I'd love to make that big cube ottoman. So pretty!
I can't wait to see this book in person. I love the red (polka dots?) wrap looking dress. Just wondering if it comes in my size.
I've made the Ava bag before, and it was great, I made it for my Mum and she loved it. Would love to get my hands on a copy of this pretty book!
ohmygosh! i'm looking for a dress pattern and i think tanya may have the dress for me! thanks for the chance!
I would love to be able to sew more for my children and the images from this book are totally inspiring. I would love to make clothes for me as well, that fitted and were comfortable. This book looks like a real inspiration and if all the patterns are written as well as the checkers one then the book would become dogeared and tired very quickly in my sewing room.
The checkers project looks really original and I think would make a perfect travel game. Love the sweet yet crisp colors of the Sugar Hill collection! The batwing sheer top is calling my name! Have been looking exactly for a pattern for such a top and will now have to get my hands on the new book!
I'd like to try the "Design as You Go" quilt. I'm just starting out and it sounds like a great project. I like Tanya's focus on "Usefulness".
I love the fabric choices and the clean yet functional designs!
I loves making bags. Loves to make one follow her patterns on the book!
I want to try my hand at some of those poofs. Thanks for the free download!
Would love to use the building blocks pattern to add to my handmade gifts for my friend who is expecting soon.
I'm a big fan of Tanya's style and made a quilt for my daughter out of her Delilah fabric.
What a great giveaway! I love making bags and gifts for friends.
I just ordered her scattered roses, birdy hill and trellis rose yesterday to make a new blouse; I can't wait to get them they are so pretty and feminine. I would love to have her book of patterns maybe I could be swayed to use the yardage on a skirt instead!
Those dresses are great! I would love to make one for the summer. The book sounds amazing, full of projects I'd love to make. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm loving the ottoman & bags- the colors are all so bright- great photos too
This is the first time that I have come across Tanya and her book, but it looks fabulous! I downloaded the checker pattern and can't wait to get started on it. I am still pretty new to sewing, but like Tanya, I have come to love projects that have a use all the time. Thanks for this great post!
Wow! What a useful book! I think the checkerboard would be great with flannel on top so the pieces don't move in the car. Thanks for the opportunity!
That clutch looks fantastic! I always want to make things that are useful/practical too (maybe that's why I have all boys)!
Useful! Hurrah! The dress patterns from the book look darling.
I LOVE making pretty and Useful stuff.
I have the desire to show off whatever I have made, and that means leaving the house with most of it….
Each of Tanya's bags are adoreable and I can SO see myself making all of them then trecking around showing 'em off!
I really appreciate her focus on usefulness. That is one criterion that helps me 'weed through' the many tempting projects out there.
I just stumbled on this blog and boy, am I glad I did! I can't wait to learn more and see more!
I would love to make the footstool/poof for myself and the top for my daughter. What fun projects!
Tanya's fabric is always strikingly beautiful. I have the most beautiful quilt I made out of Dolce!
I love the bag on the cover! So cute!
Such lovely projects!
Topping my "sew" list are the circular "poufs", the little girls tunic and the over the shoulder bag!
Thanks so much!
I'd love to win because her stuff looks so great and modern fresh and clean.
Tanya is new to me–but my oldest granddaughter, a budding seamstress, would love it!
Oh, those dresses….I always think I love dresses, but they never fit right. If I made my own…..
The book looks great with all of those project, they look like a lot of fun.
What an awesome giveaway!!! Would love to make some bags as gifts. Would love this book'
What beautiful fabrics she has. I don't think I've ever seen them before.
I dearly love the poufs! I'm too old and creaky to be getting up and down off the floor, but luckily my kids are still young and fresh. I'd make poufs for them. 🙂
I love her easy, relaxed style. Her Practical Bag pattern has been a all time favourite of mine!
How lovely everything looks.This would be a great book to own.
I haven't done anything from Tanya yet but I am looking forward to checking out the book. The dresses are lovely, and I am really excited to start sewing clothes for myself (my daughter should'nt have all the fun!) Thank you for a chance to win.
If I win, I'd be making some of those wonderful floor pillows/foot stools. I've a daughter in a new apartment, and those would be perfect!
Tanya's fabric is delicious! I'd really love a chance to win some and her lovely book.
Love the patterns. I need to make that bag plus the red dress…love it!
Grand Revival 🙂 Your designs are so pretty! I love the little blue birds and cheerful colors – it's just so girly and flirty! It makes me want to smile. The pale blue is such a soft and comforting color.
Sugar Hill just makes my mouth water! I want a taste of it 🙂
Love the book too = Sew What you Love!
Sew for your Loved ones 😉 Sew Pretty!
I haven't had the chance to try any of Tanya's patterns yet – but love the simplicity and vintage (at least to me) feeling. Her work is clean and crisp like a freshly laundered lightly starched lavender scented sheet hanging on the clothes line in on a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing 🙂
Sew for now – I am hoping and waiting to be on the winners list 🙂
thanks for the chance to win such wonderful things

How did I not know about this book yet! Looking at the photos of the projects in this book my heart actually skipped a beat in absolute excitement!!! Talk about being in love! Wow, wow & wow 🙂
This is my first intro to Tanya. That v-neck dress looks adorable!
Those dresses are so stinkin' cute! Looking at them makes me long for warm weather.
I love the bag. Cute idea for traveling checkers.
These projects look lovely. Great ideas for useful gifts.
I am new to sewing and have just been researching books and patterns. The book looks amazing.
I really love her patterns so I really would be sewing what I love. I, unfortunately, have not tried a pattern yet. Yet!
Her fabric is also super sweet yet crisp and clean.
I've never tried one of her patterns, but I've oggled over them for a while! Love her style – the book looks gorgeous!
I LOVE Tanya Whelan and have been drooling over this book since I saw it was coming out – I'm trying to figure out which bag I'd make first…thanks for the great giveaway!
I LOVE tanya Whelan's fabrics – to die for. I've just strated up my own business making dolls and softies and I love using Tanya's fabrics so would love to win the fabric bundle. I've also got my eye on making one of Tanya's bags so would love her new book too!
I haven't seen her patterns or fabric before, but I sure would love the chance to try them out! firstname.lastname@example.com
Wow, looking at those photos I would probably make everything from tanya's book! Especially love the poufs.
I would love to try and make a bag- and the fabric is really to my taste- thanks for the chance!!
The projects look great, I love the clutch! All of these look so airy and classic, love it!
Looks like a fabulous book!
I love the travel checkers!
I love the project pictures. As a beginner(ish) sewer, I love that everything looks fairly simple but still beautiful. I would love to do the girl's top, and the shorter-handled tree bag and the ottomans.
The checkers game looks great. We are going on a trip soon. I think I'll give it a try!
Thanks for the checkers pattern! It would make a great gift. Meanwhile I am eyeing the bags and clutches in the photos…. also the ottomans. Love them!
Everything is beautiful!
I love the bag, gorgeous!!! And the fabrics are stunning, so natural, love them. Such a fantastic range, I'm inspired just looking at them !!
I have always loved Tanya's fabric lines and I am so excited about this book. The projects look wonderful!
I love the Sugar Hill Collection. It's so light and airy feeling, visually. I think her bag patterns are just lovely and I definitely want to sew them soon. I'd love to get a hold of her new book as well.
Oh this book looks super fun!
Wow! What terrific designs. Love her fabric line, also.
Hope I'm lucky!
Thanks for sharing, Joanna
I have sewing more for myself as one of my goals this year and this book looks full of patterns I want to try!
this book really looks great, so many wonderful projects!
I love those floor pillows and my littlest bub would love those soft blocks! My kids keep me pretty busy, so I can only take on simple projects or else they never get finished…I'd love this book!
I love all those big pillows. The book looks fabulous, nice to have a book dedicated to "useful" projects.
I think I like the little cubes and the stack of round big pillows best! I've never sewn a dress, just several skirts so perhaps I should aim dresses next 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the dresses! Definitely going to have to check this book out 🙂
These fabrics are sweet and modern at the same time, I would love a chance!
I've never sewed any of her patterns, but I love the yellow bag-cute design and great fabric choice. It definitely seems cheerful, which fits my style well!
I am a fan of her modern, but vintage designs. They fit well with my life style. Love the new fabrics, too!
That is a really cool project. I am going to try it.
Thanks so much for sharing and for the giveaway.
I love her fabric! Looks like a great book 🙂
I love the footstool! Totaly awesome!
What a nice give away. I will participate in this.
What I love about Tanya is her love for sewing and wanting to help others love sewing as well! She explains things like she was one of your best friends just sitting down with you & showing you how to sew! I have never bought her fabrics ( as of yet! ) but, I am in LOVE with her new line & am hoping to purchase ( or win them here! ;o) them soon! Tanya has an elegant, yet comforting style to all she makes! Her sewing book looks to be a breath of fresh air!! Thanks for this chance at a wonderful giveaway!!
I first found Tanya's designs a few years ago when I saw her apron patterns online and bookmarked them (that was before Pinterest of course). I drooled over them. Then this Christmas was surprised by a hostess gift of one of her aprons. I couldn't have been happier. Please count me in for the drawing!
Oooh!!! I've seen this book around and I'd LOVE to win it! I love her style and there looks like such a lot of GREAT patterns I'd love to try (one of those top's pictured looks *perfect*!
Her book and fabrics look amazing. If I'm not a winner I will definately be searching this book out!
These projects look great…I'd love to give them a try!
This really looks like a book I can use! I am such a procrastinator that these look simple enough to tackle. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Can't wait to go get the book!
I love making bags and am always on the lookout for some well-written patterns. I haven't had a chance to check out Tanya's patterns yet so thanks for sharing!
I love the useable orientation of these projects. and beautiful to boot!
I think I like the bags the best, although all look really nice. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thank you so much for the giveaway. I love Tanya's designs!
I love the designs and the fabrics.
This is a great giveaway to start the new year. Thanks.
I really like the little girl dress. It looks simple and elegant!
love love love! I've been looking for dress pattern just like the top right for forever. And the cubes on the left in the second row are too cute 😀
What a lovely book full of fantastic ideas, great for presents or just for putting your own mark on your home. I have just got myself a new sewing machine and looking for useful book this is am after. I would even get my daughter one xx 🙂
One of my resolutions this year is to start sewing again – Tanya's book looks like the perfect inspiration! I love her simple stylish designs.
I haven't tried any of her patterns, but I treasured the Tanya Whelan fabrics that I have owned and absolutely loved sewing with them!
Tanya Whelan fabrics always catch my eye. There's something so sweet and cheerful about them. I made a lovely lap quilt from her French Hatbox fabrics and everyone was fighting over who got to snuggle up with it at Christmas!
What drew me to Tanya's book were the variety of ideas and the different ranges of time needed to complete the projects. I could easily knock out one or two projects in just a few days. I would love to get this book.
She has beautiful, airy style. I love it.
what an awesome looking book! I'm not all that familiar with her, but would love to make that checker set! Will be on my list of things to make for sure!
I love making and wearing dresses! I would love to add a few from this book to my wardrobe!
Love the checkers pattern!
Wow this book looks perfect for me. With three kids at home I need simple projects right now. I really love the big pillows and cushions you have pictured. We love playing games and watching movies in our house and I'd love to make some of those for us.
I have some of Tanya Whelan's fabrics from her Delilah and Darla lines and I LOVE them! I have been eagerly awaiting the next line of fabric and Sugar Hill looks lovely! I would love to have some of this in my fabric collection.
I just received her Metro Baf pattern, which will get started soon and I have some fat quarters that I got for Christmas, that need to be turned into something pretty, the colours are just so lovely!
Oooo what a great giveaway! I'm new to Tanya's collection but would love a chance to try a pattern. One of my new year's resolutions is that I won't be buying any new clothes or accessories for the entire year so it would be great to sew a bag for spring 🙂
i am recently falling in love with Tanya's older fabrics!! French Hatbox is really doing it for me! i love her flowers. and the soft palette.
I haven't tried any of Tanya's patterns yet, but I just downloaded the checkers board. Thanks!
We should all sew what we love! I love, love, love the Sugar Hill line and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Perfect for spring!
I love several patterns from here – the bag, the ottomans, and the checkers set
I love the dresses, congratulations and on your wonderful book. Plus I must not forget the lovely fabrics. Thanks for the great giveaway.
As soon as I saw the travel checkers set, I thought of Christmas presents. Having attempted handmade presents this year, I know I'll need to start much earlier for next year! This is a great idea & I can see from the pictures, there are many more where that came from! Thank you!
I have not heard of Tanya before but I really like the look of this book and her fabric! I will definitely have to put her on my wish list now!
I have loved her fabrics and have used them for several projects- and more in line to be made. The book looks wonderful- I love the dress pattern, that is at the top of the list! I love the blocks for babies too- so cute in the non-traditional kid fabrics.
This is my firstawareness of this designer, and I love herstyle. The dressesare wonderful.
I am always looking for more toy patterns! There are simply not enough out there. I would love to have this book for those alone, but the other projects like the foot rests look great as well!
I would love to be inspired by any of the prizes!
Tanya's designs are so fresh and delightful. Thank you for introducing her. I esp. like the take-along checker set!
I'm not familiar with Tanya at all, but the book looks awesome! I'd love to win. 🙂
i love her pretty florals and the colors she uses in her fabric lines! this looks like a fantastic book!
If the awesome dolman sleeve t shirt is in the book, I'd love to be making that soon!
Tanya's fabrics and designs are so girly, and her blog & web site give the illusion that every day is sunny! I love it! Although I've visited her site before, I haven't used any of her patterns. The book seems like the perfect inspiration, though!
Those projects look awesome!! Great giveaway!
I love your website! I use a lot of you designs in my own sewing!! I would love to try the projects in this book! Thank you sooo much!
This looks a great book!
I love the bag and the dress in the top right corner!
What a great giveaway! The colors are what are speaking to. They are fun and bright. Just love them!
I made a cushion out of the tree fabric on the front of the book, I love that material, the free project would make an ace gift too
Those floor pillows look AWESOME! I'd love to make a few of those for the reading nook my hubby's building for our son. Too cute!
What a nice book. Thanks for the giveaway!
Definetly interested in making a couple of those beautiful dresses with her Sugar Hill fabric!
These patterns look great! I've never used her patterns or fabric before but I look forward to in the future!
I just love those bags!
I love the looks of the projects in this book, thanks for a chance to win!

I love Tany's style. It is so elegant but simple. Here fabrics are truly beautiful and bring a breath of springtime and freshness.
First on my list to sew is the strapless dress for my daughters.
I would love to win her book and her fabric.
Thank you.
This is the first I've heard of Tanya's book. And I love the aesthetic, such pretty fabrics.
I would love to sew the cute little ottoman pictured above!
I am so taken with the pink dress featured in one of the photos! I'm trying to work myself up to trying to sew something I can actually wear… And I love that Tanya's book features functionality – I agree with her – if I make it, I want to use it too!
Oh how I would love the Sugar Hill fabric! Can't wait to get started sewing.
I love fun, easy, and practical…going to be checking this book out!
How adorable! If I win, I'd gift this to my sister, she'd love it!
Cute Cute Cute! If there is such thing as fabric checkers, why not fabric chess? I'm gonna have to look into that!
I love that the projects in the book all look so purposeful and useful. I hate buying a book just for the couple of patterns that I love and this one looks like all of the projects are great!
The bag patterns interest me!
I love these bags! My daughter will go crazy when she sees these and her faric collection. Thanks for sharing–I'm excited to go find the book now 🙂
I love how many pretty dresses are in this book, very exciting!

Ooh la la. Loving the fabric. If I could only have my way with it. Thank you for the opportunity to win such goodness.
Would love to win this giveaway! Tanya's designs are new to me, and I'd love the opportunity to sew with her!
I love Grand Revival's blog! She has such great patterns (I've made Monterrey Market Bag) and fabrics in her shop. I would love to receive a copy of her new book and a quarter pack of Sugar Hill. I enjoyed using fabric from her Barefoot Roses collection on a few of pillows for our bedroom. Thanks for such a great giveaway! 🙂 mfrapp_83 (at) yahoo (dot) com

The girl's tunic is so fresh and light it makes me yearn for spring.
Love to be the lucky one. Forced to use that wonderful fabric to be creative…..yah what a bummer! ( total sarcasm )
love the cute dresses!
I LOVE the free pattern of the bag! I have an obsession with all things bag related! But for the new year I told myself that I can only have new bags if I make them! So thank you so much for helping me out! 🙂 I can't wait to try it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tanya's fabrics. I used them for my first big sewing project:making Christmas dresses for my daughters. And her fabrics made them beautiful! http://technologyandtutus.com/2011/11/11/christmas-dress-aka-i-made-puffy-sleeves/
I had enough left over that I got to make little dresses for my friends newborn daughters too: http://technologyandtutus.com/2011/11/13/baby-gifts/
I want just about every single fabric that she's produced and I would love to get my hands on her book to sew some of those beautiful creations!
I absolutely love this fabric by Tanya Whelan! I just purchased my first yards of this beautiful fabric and plan to share my nursery curtain creation on my blog shortly! I'm in love!
I'd love to win!! I've not tried out any of Tanya's patterns or fabrics yet but they look awesome! I'd love to give 'em a try!

I need to get this book! It is on my wish list and hope to get it soon! It is just the book any sewer needs, with great variety and fun fashions! LOVE IT!
Cute dresses!
I love all the little pix of her projects, and especially the tops and the bags – probably my first project would be a colorful bag for spring. thanks for the chance to win her fabulous book and fabrics, or one of her patterns.
The dress patterns look really lovely. The "Go-To Top or Dress" looks especially nice. I would love to win the book!
I haven't seen this book before, but I am sure missing out! I really like the floor poofs, and the structured small bag, Stylish and simple beautiful patterns!
I would love to make myself a cute summer dress. Or the blocks for my girlie.
I really love the light and feminine fabrics she uses. The projects are cute and pretty. I'm on a mission to "prettify" many of the everyday objects in my home, and this is just what I'm thinking of!
Love the new book — fresh look with fun fabrics — & projects that I would actually sew!
I don't have any experiences with Tanya's patterns yet, but I love her style! I just downloaded the travel checkers pattern. Thanks!
awesome giveaway! and thanks for the checkers pattern!!
I would love a copy of sew what you love! Thanks. kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
This looks like a great book!! I want to make the bag!
I love the colors and the simplicity of the patterns…also love that clutch purse!
The projects in Tanya's book are wonderful, I wouldn't know which one to start working on first since there is something to choose from for all members of my family:) Thank you so much for this giveaway!
This book looks great!
I've never worked with Tanya's patterns, but certainly admire her style. I love the looks of those ottomans … and will definitely have to look at those more closely!
I love the fabric choices and photography shown. I have always wanted to try an ottoman but have been scared to try. Maybe this book will give me some confidence for a big task.
Ooh, I love Tanya's style! Each fabric line she comes out with impresses me as much as the next. I love how they're sweet and girly while also being modern and fun. She's one of my most favorite designers!
I love the bags and dresses! So cute.
Go to top dress is amazing!! I´d love to have a copy of Tanya´s book and try some projects. Thank you for this giveaway!!
I love the book, looks like a great project book.
I'm really drawn to the clutch in the second to last row of your grid…and think the stacking floor poufs would look super cute in the corner of my workspace! Thanks for sharing.
I've never worked with any of Tanya's patterns before, but I would love to start! I adore that pink dress in the picture (upper left corner). I've been sewing more and more lately for myself and am just having fun discovering new designers, patterns, fabrics, etc!!
I've never sewn with Tanya's patterns before but I absolutely adore the little clutch from her book featured above! I can't wait to make it!
The patterns look like so much fun. Choosing just one would be tough.
I love all of these projects and the fabric choices are PERFECT! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I think i would like to try some of the clothes patterns. The cushions look like they would be fun too. 🙂
What a fun giveaway. Actually I just found her through this post.So no prev. experience. So happy I read this article. Love her bag styles. So cute and stylish. Sugar Hill line looks so pretty. Thanks SMS for bringing this to us.
I've actually never sewn any of her patterns or with Sugar Hill, but they look lovely to get a hold of and get going 🙂 I'm always on the look out for new projects 🙂
I have to say that the little clutch purse in the photo collage above has really caught my eye. I love that both the print of the fabric and the "texture" of the purse give it a great style. That would be first on my sewing list from Tanya's book!
Love the dresses in the photo mosaic, so cute!
I'd love to win a copy of 'sew what you love'! Tanya's book looks so fantastic, I'd probably first make one of the women's dresses that are featured — love that one in the top right corner. Although a fabric lamp shade would be pretty cool too!
Those bags look awesome! Can't wait to pick up a book!
Wow looks like a great book, thanks for the chance.
I love what I'm seeing in these pictures. The bags look so stylish and comfortable, and the dresses are darling. What a great book!
Those Sugar Hill fabrics are too sweet! I could have a lot of fun making baby quilts with them… but that large slouchy tote from her book looks amazing, too!
I am intrigued by the Go To top/dress. It looks so cute and comfortable! Also, thank you for including the table of contents in the travel checkers file.
I don't have any of Tanya's Sugar Hill. I do, however, have a collection of Ava Rose and Darla that I haven't used yet. Actually, if I won the book I'd like to gift it to a brand new enthusiastic sewer. My friend's daughter just got a machine for Christmas and she's very excited to learn.
I love all Tanya's fabric collections. So pretty and feminine with a modern feel. The book looks like it has some fun projects to try.
I love the vintage look! I think that little girl's dress would look so lovely on my daughter!
I think my favorite is the little red dress! I can't wait to get this book and try it out! Not to mention…I just bookmarked her site. Great ideas 🙂 thanks for sharing!
I love her romantic floral fabrics!
That top in the third row is something my sister would absolutely adore. And I want all three of those dresses for myself. They look so simple and pretty.
I am right now in the process of sewing Tanya's Metro Bag, and I'm loving it! Instructions are so clear and easy to follow- I'll finish it tonight after the kids are in bed. This book looks wonderful!
all of tanya's fabrics are gorgeous! wouldn't mind having her new book to look through, and add a sweet fat quarter pack to my stash!
I like Tanya's style because it looks simple, yet adorable. It will be something that I will make for my little girl, anything from the book that she can use or wear.
Thank you for the chance.
I haven't used Tanya's patterns before, but after seeing this post, I think I'll have to try some out. The clutch is really cute and I am interested in the ottomans. Looks like fun. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am loving the checkerboard! I have a secret sister swap and I think this would be perfect and so unexpected! Up next are the floor cushions. I am finished binding a quilt for my girl's big girl room makeover and the cushions would be perfect for her.
I'm just starting with sewing and I really liked many of the patterns presented on the book! The metro bag and the ottoman box are my favourites!
Oh wow, the title itself is such a pleasure! I would be hard pressed to decide which project to sew first, but if my daughter had any say in the matter, she would surely get me to make her the girl's dress first!
Those dresses are beuatiful! I'd love to attempt one of them!
I love what Tanya does with roses and dots! I cant wait to get a coopy of this book.
Beautiful fabric! Love the dress pattern
oooh, i like the patterns in this book. would love to win this one. i would like to try sewing dresses. i see some really beautiful dress designs in the book!
I can't wait to get my hands on Sew What You Love!
I think "sew what you love" is a great motto to sew by. I'd love to win the book and fat quarters. Looks like there are some great patterns in there!
I love the Go To Top/Dress! And every single Sugar Hill print is a winner in my book, those are just classic and beautiful for nearly anything you would want to make/sew!
I love that cute red/pink dress by Tanya – would love to work on that pattern!
I love the Rose Trellis Blue! I want to make one of those bags! with that fabric! oh, love!
This looks like a wonderful book – so full of ideas! I would love try making those dresses and the bag on the cover.
What a fabulous bag pattern. It would really suit all ages!
Tanya's fabric is beautiful and I can see myself making many of the projects in the book. If I don't win, I'll certainly be buying it.
I haven't actually used one of her patterns yet, but the pictures make me want to. A few of those tops look like they could actually work for me. Plus, the fabric on the cover (Joel Dewberry?) sucked me right in. 🙂
I haven't sewn anything from Tanya's patterns yet, but I would love to make some of those poofy floor pillows!
I love her patterns! The round pillows are so cute! Thanks for posting about her, I am now a fan!
Thanks for the free project! I need to make one to take with us on summer vacations this year.
I love here designs! They are clean, simple and modern but also have a vintage appeal.
This book was just added to the top of my wishlist! Love the projects, love her fabrics and what a great interview!
I am hoping that I win the book! All those projects look exciting!
I love Tanya's blog and her fabric. I've bought many yards of her fabric without a project in mind, just because it's beautiful! I really love the bag on the cover of her book and would love to explore the rest of the projects too!
I have never used one of Tanya's patterns, but love her style! From reading about "Sew What You Love" , I am excited about this book– especially the Handmade Handbags, and Sewing for Little Ones sections! I have a new little granddaughter– my first!– and love making things for her! 🙂 And I absolutely LOVE the Sugar Hill fabric line— so, so pretty! Thanks SO much for the chance to win this awesome prize! 🙂
lovely patterns!
Love the free checkers pattern! Looks fun and easy to make and my kids will love it.
Thanks for the travel checkers pattern! I love how the checkerboard is also the bag for the checkers! From the book, I would love to sew those cube toys!
Love the simplicity of her designs. The dress patterns are great.
LOVE the checker board and pieces. Awesome idea!
i really appreciate how her projects have clean, simple lines and allow the fun fabric to shine. so many times, i see these fussy bags with fussy fabrics (and possibly up to six fabrics in one) and my eyes get dizzy… these are so lovely!
Ooooooh! the fabrics in Sugar Hill are divine! I need to get my hands on this quick! Thanks!
At first I thought: "Another pattern book? Really?", but reading Tanya's description I can see she gets it. The "it" being that sewing is an artform and that practicality is essential for most sewers. Everyone wants a comfortable and pretty home – how wonderful to have the skill and inspiration to do it ourselves.
This book sounds great and one I will happily add to the growing to-do list. Thank you for showing it off 🙂
I love the modern simplicity of the Sugar Hill collection — all of the fabric prints remind me of the fresh warm scent of a load of laundry fresh out of the dryer! I also admire Tanya's focus on usefulness – something I take into consideration with everything I make.
very cool. i love her designs.
oh my goodness I LOVE that red dress in the top right hand corner! Is that pattern in the book? If it is then this book just got added to my birthday list!
Those fabrics are perfect for the patterns. Whata great combo. Tanya is one talented lady!
I have yet to sew with a Tanya Pattern but they all look fabulous especially the bags and dresses for girls!
The fabrics look bright and airy which is a welcome change to the dark of winter. It's all beautiful!
This is the first I've heard of this book, but I'm definitely in love. I tend to only buy pattern books if I for sure want to make at least enough projects to make the price of the whole book "worth it," financially. Looking at that collage of photos above, I pretty much want to make ALL of them. I love the bags in these photos, and the short-sleeved dress, the little girl's top, WOW. This book is definitely a must have for me now!! 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
Is love this book! Those dresses are pretty enough to get me to try sewing clothes!
Those checkers are adorable- what a fun pattern!
I like to make bags, so I'd make a number of them from her patterns. Thanks for the chance!
Wow, looks like such a great book! It will be put on my amazon wishlist ;-)! I would definitely try to sew a bag, or one of those cute dresses! Thanks for the chance!
What a great gift idea this is! Time to start sewing for next Christmas! lol.
These are the best patterns that I have seen. New, fresh. It's hard to find something new and different anymore. The fabrics are great too. I really want to win! Thanks
What a great giveaway!! Those dresses are beautiful!! And, I've been thinking about possibly sewing up something like those fabric stools/poofs/ottomans…Thanks for the opportunity!

The Best Defensive Players in NBA HistoryThe guys who weren't just flashy scorers (if at all) but really knew how to intimidate an offense.
The Top Ten
Simply amazing. If blocks were a recorded stat back then, I don't even know how many he would've averaged. And if the Defensive Player of the Year award had been around then, who knows how many he would've won?
No doubt best winner in nba history, because of defense and athleticism
It is believed by many that if blocks were a recorded stat during his playing time, that Bill Russell would've averaged double digits in blocks per game, add that to the 15.1 points per game, and the 22.5 rebounds per game, more than likely Bill Russell averaged a triple double throughout his career.
Simply awesomeV 25 Comments
Hakeem was a complete and versatile defenders. You could not run pick an roll with Hakeem. He could legit guard any player on the floor, even the fastest point guards and shut them down and get turnovers off them. Very agile and quick player with long arms. Combined that quickness and instincts from playing soccer goalie as a youth helped him find steals in the lane and strip balls in the paint. That why he was top 10 in steals all time, getting 2 -2.6 steal per game a year for five years. Compare that Kobe Bryant at 2.2 SPG only once. That quickness also allowed him surprise players and get into position for blocks, recover from being out of position of being potentially beat to get blocks.
Hakeem had some of the best footwork and athleticism ever seen in a big man, and these natural talents have him a clear advantage over almost all other November in his day. He currently ranks top 10 in steals (not just centers, everyone! ) and holds the NBA record for most career blocks. He was a 2-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and 5x All-Denfensive First Team. Simply put, he was the most dominant defensive player not only of his time, but perhaps of all-time.
Wow. This guy was just an incredible defender. Blocks, rebounds, steals, and overall intimidation were factors in getting himself 2 DPotY awards.
Yeah the dream had unparalleled footwork. shaq out muscled him but Dream finessed him. dream shake!V 11 Comments
Personally, Rodman just got on my nerves after his decision to "be himself". With Detroit, he was awesome, but then he just got so annoying and stupid. But you CANNOT deny this guy's ability to play defense. He's got 2 DPotY awards to show for it.
Dennis has shut down everybody on the inside/short/mid-range when the NBA was at it's most competitive. A stat that is not measured is forcing the best players to pass the ball to someone else because they were being to well guarded and reducing the team's overall point totals and Rodman did that to EVERYONE and every Team. Now, Larry Bird did torch Rodman from the outside in his rookie season, but Rodman learned quickly and became the Best Defender and one of the best Rebounders of all time.
The dude was Jordan's size and he won numerous rebounding titles. Do I have to say anymore. He didn't have muscles or size on him, all he did was hustle.
He is the best defender everV 28 Comments
I saw Jordan's entire career. I grew up in Boston and was a huge Celtics and Larry Bird fan. I also played basketball my whole life thru college. Michael Jordan is by far the best basketball player of all time, people can argue for #2 but there is a big gap between #2 and #1.
Every night, when it came time to take over the game, he took the game over. Every single night! There was no answer for this guy, plain and simple. The Detroit Pistons of the late 80's were probably the greatest defensive team of all time and Isaiah Thomas said Jordan made them look like high school kids. His defense doesn't get the recognition it deserves because they usually put Pippen on the other teams best defender. That wasn't because Pippen was a better defender, it was to keep Jordan fresh for the offensive end. But when Jordan locked you down that was it! Your scoring streak and hot hand quickly cooled! He was smothering on defense, quicker and more explosive than Pippen. If somebody had a good game ...more
His determination with his intelligence and steals makes him best in my opinion... Besides his intuition and blocks for a shooting guard was extraordinary
He steal if he wants to, he blocks if he wants to.
Not only controlled the court but Jordan control the stock market as well.V 12 Comments
Best all around defender ever, on and off the ball. Scottie is so underrated! He was the best defender on a team that had Jordan and Rodman! That's saying a lot! Chuck Daily said Scottie was the best player on the Dream Team! Players and coaches, who would know, are the ones who rank him so highly. Fans tend to underrate Scottie, partly because he played next the the greatest player ever.
Scottie Pippen could shut the best top scoring players down regardless of how good they were. Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, but he took a backseat to Pippen. I still think Scottie was the best defensive player I have seen. He was all over the court, and he stuck to you like glue.
Pippen racked up the steals and blocks but his help defense was legendary. He could be all over the court harrassing everybody. I still remember when he was the catalyst in shutting down Utah's pick and roll and holding the Jazz to 54 points in the '98 Finals. He took charge after charge on Karl Malone. No one would ever have the guts to step in front of someone as big as Malone but Pippen did it multiple times.
He was the best all around defenderV 22 Comments
Come on guys its simple only point guard to win defensive player of the year and got it more than Michael Jordan
He is a beast he held Jordan to 23 points if not best defensive player, best defensive point guard!
He the bestV 12 Comments
4 DPotY awards! Dikembe Mutombo was the only other player to get 4! But the difference is that Mutombo got his 4 over a stretch of 7 seasons, while it only took Ben 5 seasons to do so, as both pairs of awards were back to back. I'm so glad to see Big Ben back in Detroit, even if he is getting old.
Any Players who blow by the team defense must be on watch for Ben Wallace since he would came out of nowhere. The only person who taught me that Defense can be fun in Basketball.
Best defensive center of all time. Had the quickness to pick pocket guards, strength to hold back over sized centers like Shaq, and led his team to an NBA championship just off his defense. Very underrated player and should be higher on this list.
4 DPOY's, locked down shaq in 2004 NBA finals, 1 NBA championship, 6x NBA all team, 4x NBA defensive, and 4x all-star. He is top 100 player of all time forget defensive.V 8 Comments
4 DPotY awards! Big Ben is the only other player to accomplish that.
Greatest shot blocker ever in NBA history Can make guys like Kobe nervous coming and driving through the line because he will embrass you
He invented the finger wag because of all the shots he blocked
DefinitelyV 3 Comments
Lebron has a better defensive rating than a lot of people above him on this list including Michael Jordan per season and also a better defensive box plus minus.
He is great at intercepting passes and swiping the ball in on-ball defense. You'll never see him coming but he is just behind you and about to swat your shot
That is incredible is one of the worst defensive players I ever seen in the league. His best defensive move is the shot block from behind, but one on one he his the worst, every player can shot over Lebron.
Very underrated defender. Deserves at least 1 DPOY award. He can guard any position. Quick, strong, smart... can decide a game with one defensive play.V 15 Comments
No one can match KG's intensity on defense! He turned Boston, which was the worst defensive team into one of the best defensive teams ever. He is one of the best defensive leaders in NBA History.
I used to hate KG for all of his trash-talking but you have to respect his presence on defense. He inspired lackluster defenders Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to actually care about guarding someone. Because of Garnett, Rondo is an expert pickpocket and, because of The Big Ticket, Avery Bradley made a name for himself based on defense alone. KG's defense made other players better on defense and that's why he should be in the top 5. - bishop.moore07
KG blocks, steals, rebounds, all sorts of stuff. The crowd is like KG did this and that. Steals now Blocks now and Rebounds Now
beastV 5 Comments
The Contenders
7'1" + 9'6" standing reach + 46" vertical, world record touching 13'6" next closest is 13'0" with plenty of guys touching 12'10". Wilt is physically an outstanding outlier in the history of humanity. No surprise he was averaging in the vicinity of 10 blocks per game for his CAREER to go along with 23 rebounds per game.
Leading shot blockier in NBA history; a shame the stat was not kept during his time as a player, but he averaged close to double figures in blocks.
Only Russell is close, but Wilt is still ahead.
Blocks were not recorded officially during his career, but in his final year, the NBA was doing a few "test" games, and he had 26 blocks.
Damn, the amount of disrespect shown towards the Big Dipper is unbelievable. All you millennials don't have a clue about how great of a player Wilt was on the defensive side of the floor. This brother probably blocked 4000+ shots, but the NBA being the stubborn fools they are didn't have the courtesy to count blocks or steals, especially when guys liks Russell, Thurmond were playing. Nonetheless, Wilt goes unnoticed when it comes to recognizing defensive ability!V 7 Comments
One of the greatest shot-blockers of all time. His career total of blocks is the 3rd highest of all time, and it doesn't even include his first 4 seasons, as the league did not start recording blocks until the 1973-74 season. Disappointing that he didn't earn any DPotY awards. He deserved at least one.
Better than a lot of people before him on this list
The skyhook most dominant shoot I ever seen by far
awesomeV 2 Comments
He blocks with left hand... Remember that ray allen, deron williams and the new guy in portland!
Well, he's better than Lebron that's for sure.
Kobe is the greatest perimeter lock down defender ever. Hi could defend 3 positions, that's why he was 12 times All defensive team.
No. he is not top twenty.V 10 Comments
YOU GONNA SAY HE AIN'T #1 HE LOCKED UP Lebron in the finals and took finals MVP and his huge hands and long wingspan makes him such a great defender. Also the stats prove it lead the league in steals in the 2015 NBA seasonand can play monster defense both off and on the ball!
The best perimeter defender in the league atm
How? He # 1 automatically
GOATV 4 Comments
How is Tim Duncan # 25 he's the all time leader in blocks in NBA Playoff history and the man is a machine on defense give me a break this list is way off how can half these guys be above Duncan
Spurs been top 5 Defense and in playoffs every year of his career, enough said... Oh yeah, 3 titles too
In the last 30 years, Spurs teams with Duncan had 3 of the 4 top best defense team rating allowing the lowest amount of buckets in 100 possessions. Duncan had the #1 individual defensive rating for seasons four seasons. He has x8 all defense 1st team x7 all defense 2nd team. Even the current old version is a solid defender. Just watch him carefully and he always made the right rotation, at the right time, and got one or two hands straight up to effects the shot. A strong man to man defender but excellent team help defender.
Should be right behind hakeemV 5 Comments
The guy is good. He completely stopped Lebron James in the 2007 finals. Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, and even Dirk Nowitzki say that he is the most irritating guy to defend them.
Bruce Bowen was born to defend. He couldn't much of anything else, but man could he put a lockdown on players.
Bruce had as good defense as Jordan but was better because he never got caught with his cheating. He disrupted people so well.
Locked up LeBron and Dirk. Who else can say thatV 4 Comments
This is a top 5 defensive player of all time. At the very least he is a top 3 wing/guard defender. This is mind-boggling to have him off the top ten list.
Severely underrated. Offense is a lot about getting to spots and he was just too strong to be pushed away.
Incredibly versatile, naturally strong athletic defender, closest thing to Rodman since Rodman. Deservedly won DPotY award.V 3 Comments
Most blocks in history for a guard! Enough said!V 2 Comments
Should be ranked higher than Jordan and kobe but not higher than payton all time in defense. Some folks need to go back to AP NBA History and get their facts straight. This guy was the best defensive guard besides Payton and maybe a case can be made for some that aren't even on this list.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks David
I do alot of work on my boat and need to use a dinghy this season and I am one of those guys who never gets around to putting his vest on. Now I feel like I was scared straight.
a cold water lesson
In college, I used to race 470 one design for the school's racing team. One very cold February day, we had a race against Kings Point, the course was off Kings Point and ran near to the Throgs Neck Bridge. Because of the cold and extremely blustery day, there was alot of debate as to whether or not to call off the race but competitive minds won over the more cautious and the race went on. Most of the other sailors had wetsuits but being a poor self supporting student I could not afford one at the time and to keep warm I was wearing a fairly heavy down parka. About half way through the race, a squal ripped through the fleet and the race was immediately called as masts were snapped and boats began to go over. I was crewing and the skipper of my boat was hell bent on continuing so he refused to let up and off course we were one of the boats that went over. I will never forget the shock of that ice cold water as the boat capsized. I immediately gasped as it first hit, luckily my head was above water at that moment or I am sure I would have taken a lungful of water! The committee boat happened to be at the farthest pointit could be from us at the time and was busy helping the crew of another boat that had capsized. The two of us managed to right the boat against rapidly stiffening muscles, and the captain , who was wearing a wetsuit, managed to hoist himself over the gunnel into the boat. I made an attempt to do the same but just as I thought I was going to make it, the weight of the water logged down parka dragged me down and puilled me completely underwater. I managed to get my head above water, thanks to the fact that I was wearing a life vest. I wanted to pull off the down coat, but not really thinking about such an oocrance when I got suited up, I had the life vest over the jacket and was afraid if I removed the vest to get the jacket off I might not be able to keep my head above water. I could only manage to cling ontop the side of the boat and pray for assistance. The skipper did make attampts to pull me in but he was cold and weaak and could not manage by himself. Finnaly, the committe boat spotted us and raced over. Several, very welcome, and strong arms lifted me out of the water into the committee boat just as I felt like I was going to go underf for the final time.
I was rushed to the shore, and they immediately threw me in a cold shower, clothes and all. I can only remember how hot that cold water felt to me. It was almost as shocking in its warmth as the sea water was when I went in. After, I recovered quickly with the help of some hot coffee and warm dry clothes. I never have forgot that and learned alot of valuable lessons. One of the most inportant was to think carefully about what I wear in cold weather and how I layer things, especially my life vest!. Rick
|Cold water survival: is to sail south until the sea temp. averages in the 80s.
I did the polar bear thing in Barrow, AK a while ago. The water temp was 32, OAT was 34 and 8 Kts of wind. Three of us went in. We were wearing tennis shoes and swimsuit. We had warm towels standing by and a paramedic with a AED at the ready. We jumped in and the rules said we had to totally emersed the body. So I did, ran out, got a warm towel, drove to hotel room and used the shower to warm myself. The cold water took your breath away. I was in maybe 10 seconds at the most. After I thought I was warm and several hours later I still got the shivers. All this of this for a piece of paper. Apparently I am not done doing dumb things. Yes, I have been the various cold weather flying schools, I wear a dry suit and insulation under when I fly over cold water however I am now a believer of the dangers of cold water sailing. It will kill you rapidly by making you shiver so hard you have very little or no muscle control. All it takes is once.
Even though most of us are aware this video really drives it home. If you are in the north Atlantic even if wearing a survival suit and in the water you only have 24 hours. Forget the water bottles and energy bars you won't live long enough to need them.

The team's findings are part of an effort to answer fundamental questions about atomic behavior by creating a device that can simulate the behavior of subatomic particles. Such a tool could be an invaluable method for answering questions about atoms and molecules that are not answerable even with today's most advanced computers.
In a key step toward creating a working quantum computer, Princeton researchers have developed a method that may allow the quick and reliable transfer of quantum information throughout a computing device.
An international team of researchers including scientists at Princeton University have achieved a 100-fold increase in the ability to maintain control the spins of electrons in a solid material, a key step in the development of ultrafast quantum computers.
A Princeton researcher and his international collaborators have used lasers to peek into the complex relationship between a single electron and its environment, a breakthrough that could aid the development of quantum computers
Andrew Houck, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and a past Princeton valedictorian, was named to Technology Review magazine's list of the top 35 young innovators for 2009.
Andrew Houck, a Princeton professor of electrical engineering, won a 2008 Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists from the New York Academy of Sciences. The prize included $15,000 in unrestricted funding.
An international team of scientists has performed the ultimate miniaturization of computer memory: storing information inside the nucleus of an atom. This breakthrough is a key step in bringing to life a quantum computer - a device based on the fundamental theory of quantum mechanics which could crack problems unsolvable by current technology.
The National Science Foundation has awarded nearly $20 million to the Princeton Center for Complex Materials, an interdisciplinary research program dedicated to improving and developing materials for uses ranging from alternative energy production to quantum computing.

"Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack."
If you have read Sun Tzu's The Art of War you will know the famous Chinese military general and philosopher was obsessed with adaption. He claimed successful strategy was not about a rigid game plan, but being fluid to the environmental factors at any given moment. Well it looks as if Google has been reading Sun Tzu…
"The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did. It was so successful, we didn't have to do a second one." This quote came from Google's then CEO Eric Schmidt in July 2009 after the cancellation of the Nexus One. Five months later Google was back with the Nexus S and confronted about the U-turn all Schmidt would say was he promised no 'Nexus Two', not an 'S'. Google was rapidly evolving its business model to market conditions and with the purchase of Motorola Mobility this week for $12.5bn (£7.67bn) the company has made its most seismic shift to date.
The reason for the purchase again comes like a lesson from Sun Tzu: it is one of simultaneous attack and defence – both on its partners and the opposition.
For its partners Google's logic is the deal gives it control of Motorola's circa 17,000 mobile patents. The handset sector is currently awash with libel action and Android's relatively late entry into the market has seen many of its partners taken to court. If Google suddenly controls the patents from the mobile devices division of a telecommunications company which has been in operation since 1928 it has considerable weaponry with which to defend them.
"We welcome today's news, which demonstrates Google's deep commitment to defending Android, its partners, and the ecosystem," crowed Samsung Mobile CEO JK Shin. "We welcome Google's commitment to defending Android and its partners" agreed Jong-Seok Park, president & CEO of LG Electronics. "I welcome Google's commitment to defending Android and its partners," echoed Bert Nordberg, president & CEO of Sony Ericsson.
That said, despite these public proclamations and Google's promise it will run Motorola as an independent entity, all Android partners know the purchase will place greater pressure upon them...

Open ID
Another reader asks: As an extension to your Secure Passwords article, would you discuss the Open ID concept? Some examples would really be helpful. (In order to see how they work, I have gone to several Open ID enabled Web sites and navigated through their sign up processes. I didn't see anything special, but then again, I also backed out before I actually created an account).
Great question! When I first saw a Web site that used the Open ID system, I had questions too. So, here you go! Here is some information on the Open ID system.
The general idea of the Open ID system is to allow people to use one username and password for several Web sites. This allows for customers to have access to the different sites without the need of creating a separate username, profile and password for each site individually.
Currently, there are 471 Web sites that support the Open ID system. So, there is a chance you may already have an Open ID and not even know it! When you visit one of the sites that supports Open ID and create a username and password, you have automatically created an Open ID for yourself.
You can visit this Web site [1] to see a list of sites that currently support the Open ID system.
Now, this does relate very closely to last week's article about secure passwords. With systems such as the Open ID network, it is very important to have a strong password. Since your ID can be used on several different Web sites, if someone got ahold of your password, they would have access to all of those sites, including all of your personal profile information. Making sure you use strong passwords should always be a priority, but with the Open ID system, it's even more important.
If you're interested in getting an Open ID or finding out even more information about it, you can visit the official Open ID Web site right here [2]. Until next time, stay safe out there, my friends!

|Though I feel like we've come a long way in some of the initial confusion surrounding IBM CloudBurst and WebSphere CloudBurst, I still get quite a few basic questions on the solutions.

I put together a really brief overview that answers these questions and talks about the basics of the combined solution. I hope it provides a good introduction!

You are correct. There is no one in your area that buys cores for parts. Nearest place most likely is Chicago, but I have no idea who does, if anyone.
The places that I know about are in Dallas, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Kansas City, Kansas; Soucie, Mississippi; Louisville, Kentucky; Hamlin, Iowa; and several further away. I am in Oregon, so unless you drive here on vacation, it is not cost-effective to sell them to me.
Your best bet is to contact your local transmission shops. Often they will buy cores that they know they will need in the future. If nothing else, let them know that you usually have a bunch on hand so if they suddenly need one they will check with you first.
Front wheel drive cores generally have no core value. Too many subtle varieties and too short of a demand window.
Truck transmissions tend to be in constant demand, so those are the only ones I would save from the shredder.
Standard transmissions are almost impossible to sell as cores. Very few companies (maybe a dozen or so) nationwide that have any interest in standards. Usually the large cities (over a million people) have ONE local rebuilder (operating out of his home garage) that does only standards, but they don't buy nor sell out of their local area.
I have probably personally ripped apart over 100,000 transmissions over the last 25 years. And have probably owned another 250,000 or so that others have ripped apart or that I sold as cores. At one time I was selling 30 tons of scrap iron from transmissions every month. That is about 800 transmissions per month across the ripping table for one ripper.
Today I am only buying about 200 per month and selling most of them as is to others. Only about 40 per month are now crossing the ripping bench.

To absolutely no one's surprise, Lions linebacker Julian Peterson won't be back with the team next year.
G.M. Martin Mayhew told Detroit reporters Wednesday that the Lions informed Peterson of the move. Peterson was due $8 million next season and was increasingly ineffective. He made 31 straight starts for the team before being benched in Week 17.
Peterson is one of the only key Lions that won't be returning. Chris McCosky of the Detroit News writes that every offensive starter and key backup is expected to return next season.
The defense still has plenty of work to do, especially in the secondary and at linebacker. The team will reportedly look to bring back cornerback Chris Houston.

Development and preliminary testing of a device for the direct measurement of forces and moments in the prosthetic limb of transfemoral amputees during activities of daily living
Frossard, Laurent A., Beck, Jim, Dillon, Michael, & Evans, John H. (2003) Development and preliminary testing of a device for the direct measurement of forces and moments in the prosthetic limb of transfemoral amputees during activities of daily living. Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, 15(4), pp. 135-142.
Purpose. To provide a comprehensive description of the direct measurement of forces and moments applied on the socket of transfemoral amputees during daily living activities. Methods. The forces and the moments applied on the socket of one female transfemoral amputee were measured with a commercial transducer at a sampling frequency of 200 Hz and recorded at distance using a wireless modem to transmit the data. The subject was asked to walk in a straight line and around a circle as well as to ascend and to descend a slope and stairs. The subject was instructed to perform each activity at her natural pace and as she would usually perform it during daily life.
Results. The results were based on a high number of gait cycles of the prosthetic leg for each activity. For instance, 62 gait cycles were measured during level walking in a straight line. Ascending a slope produced a larger moment around the medio-lateral axis than walking over the entire support phase. Also, walking around a circle produced a higher moment about the long axis of the socket than walking during the push off phase of the support. The mean stride frequency during descending a slope was higher than straight level walking. All the other activities presented a slower mean stride frequency than straight level walking. The impulse on the three axes was similar or smaller than walking in a straight line for all of the activities except for walking around a circle on the medio-lateral axis, as well as ascending a slope and stairs and walking around a circle on the long axis. Conclusion. An apparatus to directly measure the actual forces and moments applied to the socket of the transfemoral amputees during an unlimited number of steps and a wide range of activities is presented. The apparatus presented here could be largely used by multi-disciplinary teams including engineers, prosthetists and physiotherapists facing the challenge of safely restoring the locomotion of transfemoral amputees fitted with a conventional socket or osseointegrated implant in particular.
