Dear Readers....I've been sitting on this news for almost two years, but now I can finally share it: my first book is being published by C & T Publishers in February of 2011!
All last fall while I was posting those weekly flowers for the Vintage CQ, behind the scenes my fingers were flying and my keyboard was redhot. What a great experience it was, producing the manuscript and all the projects, examples and technique how-tos for this book.
Working with the editors and book designer at C&T was a dream come true, too....
I'll tell you more about how all this came about in the weeks to come. It was a Cinderella story....
Meanwhile, just know that my heart and soul and all my experiences in crazy quilting have gone into this book so that--hopefully--others can share a joy all their own by practicing the art of crazy quilting.
Stay tuned for more information!

I know we’ll all be lining up to get our copies!! You’ll be autographing plenty of them at the CQ Adventure in April, LOL. This is wonderful and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer, more talented and deserving person! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Hugs, Cathy
Does the cover come with a plastic coating to protect it from all the drool? I cannot wait to open the pages and fall into your dreamy floral garden.
My favorite part of the whole thing...well,other than the cover...is the "joyful stitching" part...
That's YOU all right!
I'm whooping it up over here in Maryland!!
That's a great achievement - well done. And I'm so glad the publishers were easy to work with. It makes such a difference!
