It's here! It's here! + Getting Ready for Market

YAY!

My advance copy of my book came recently and I've been having the most fun showing it around!

 

 

It looks so much better as a book than as a file on my computer screen.  LOL!  I'm not quite sure when it will be available for purchase, though.  Sometime between the middle of November and beginning of December.

I'm getting really excited right now because I'm headed to International Quilt Market this coming week.  Sew much to do, but sew little time.

I'm going to be doing some demos at the Enmart booth #1365.  Here's a fun blog interview:

My Interview with Enmart

I'm also going to be creating a short video about my book. Keep your fingers crossed that I'll be able to accomplish that.......

I'll be taking lots of photos at Market so stay tuned in upcoming blog entries to see what's new and exciting in the quilt world (or maybe just the stuff that I think is new and exciting).

THE CEMETERY QUILT

A couple of posts ago I mentioned my Cemetery Quilt, so I am finally getting around to telling the story.

Several years ago, my family visited the cemetery when my grandparents and great-grandparents are buried.  We cleaned up around their graves and planted some flowers.  It was probably Memorial Day.

Anyway, over along the edge of the cemetery there was a refuse pile, mostly used for dead plants and grass clumps and the like.  After we finished planting flowers, we gathered up the plant garbage and headed over to dump it on the refuse pile.

Tossed on top of the pile was this quilt.  Say what?????? A quilt?  At the cemetery?  In the trash?

What a mystery.  If only this quilt could talk.  Of course I took it home.  And washed it.  You'd've done the same thing.

Isn't it tacky?  Any wonderful???  Love those double polyester knit squares!!!!
