Marie Osmond Writes The Book On Sewing

Still rebounding from the heartbreaking suicide of her teen son last summer, Marie Osmond is writing the book on sewing — literally.

The showbiz vet has penned a how-to book about sewing gifts for loved ones, according to publishers at Martingale & Co.

Marie Osmond’s Heartfelt Giving: Sew and Quilt for Family and Friends — arriving on booksellers’ shelves Nov. 9 — offers readers a rare look at some of Osmond’s favorite childhood photos, as well as step-by-step instructions for more than 20 projects the celebrity designed.

“I hope, like me, you fall in love with making handmade gifts … . It’s always those gifts we make and give with all our heart that, in return, are a blessing to our souls. Growing up in a family of singers, our home was always filled with music. However, one of the most comforting sounds that defined my childhood was the hum of the sewing machine.”

Osmond picked up a love of sewing from her mother, who taught the practice to the singer as a child.
