Yes, I've got my advance copy of my book. It's super, fantastic, gorgeous, amazing, incredible, marvelous, brilliant, and just oh-so-pretty. No, I'm not at all biased.
But really I'm mostly talking about the look and "feel" of it. I know that the rush of happiness is largely because of the reality of holding a real, live book that I wrote myself. But, I am feeling so thrilled with how stylish it came out. It really fits my own aesthetic, right down the matte finish on the cover.
These pix are just a quick preview. There's much more juicy-goodness inside...
It's available in September, so hurry to your local quilt shop to get a copy!

P.S. See I'm an REAL author. :)
Fantastic! I can't wait to see it! Do you know if it's going to be available as an eBook? As nice as the hard copies are, I've started thinking about going more electronic and some of the quilting books are looking really nice on my iPad!

I'm so excited!! It is on my Amazon wishlist. I hope I get it for Christmas. Well, I hope I get it before!!!
I want to write a book. I just have no idea what it would be about. If it's true that you should write what you know, well...it'd have to have one of those magazine rack covers from the grocery store to keep kids from seeing cleavage on paper to cover all the swears I would use. lol

I can't get your email address to come up but I was wondering if you could please tell me how you made the table runner for your son's Birthday party (the one that looks like a road) I love it! Also, how did you make your signs? Great job!!!

Hey! I stopped at Pennington Quilt Works today and see you have a book signing there this weekend! That shop is an hour away from me, but we were on the way to my daughter's college soccer game, so my husband allowed me a BIG 10 minutes in there (10 minutes?! WHAT?! Can you imagine.... ugh!! ) Anyway, I took 15 minutes and we were late for the game. But I did pick up their newsletter and saw you would be there! Wish I were going to be going that way Saturday! Hope you have a great day!! That's such a wonderful shop. 10 minutes... *sigh*... men....
