Well, today is the big day…I’m a little nervous but very excited to present A Quilting Life: Creating a Handmade Home. Yes, I’ve written a book which will be available from C&T in March (pre-order here) and will be available from Amazon in April–click this link to pre-order from Amazon: A Quilting Life: Creating a Handmade Home
!
Words can’t even convey how excited I am about this project! I’ve actually wanted to write a book since I was a little girl reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series. I guess I had it right as a child, because I have truly loved every aspect of the writing process so far: from dreaming and planning, to designing and creating, to writing and editing! And, all 19 of my projects have now been wonderfully photographed and are actually back home with me. I’ll definitely have more information as publication gets closer, but I just couldn’t wait any longer to make the announcement!
As always, thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
