I’ve been dropping hints for awhile and promising to share my big news in various blogs for the past several months. Finally, I can share my BIG news with you all now!
My third book, Jelly Roll Quilt Magic,
will be released in late summer of this year!
This is what I have been working on so diligently in recent months. I’ve designed all new, original, totally awesome, knock-your-socks-off designs. You won’t believe what I’ve come up with! These quilts are so unique, exciting, (yet best of all, EASY) made from 2 1/2″ strip bundles, charm squares, or layer cakes. But you don’t need to buy these delectable fabric bundles. I have provided all the fabric requirements to make these quilts from yardage and scraps from your very own stash. Perfect for stashbusting!
I’ll be providing some sneak peaks, sponsoring a give-away contest, and an exciting update to my website as the book launch gets closer. But in the meantime, I just knew you all would like to see a glance of the gorgeous cover. Isn’t it just the best? I love it!
I’m just so excited. And proud as a
You get the idea.
I am THRILLED beyond belief for you! Congratulations! This is awesome for everyone!!! 🙂 Especially all of us fans of yours!!
Thank you SO much, LynnEl! You have no idea how hard it has been to keep this big news a secret — but I wanted to wait until the cover was finished…. 🙂
Can’t wait to see it.
Thanks ever so much, Nancy! Been thinking about you lots lately. Hope you’re doing great!
Oh that is great!!! I got to go get one. Heading to Dallas Quilt Celabration this weekend.
Wish it would be there. Congrates!!!!!!
Thanks, Cindy! I wish both the book and I were going to be at Dallas Quilt Celebration too!
Congratulations, Kim! I like the cover and I bet the inside is even better!! Can’t wait to see it!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, Carolyn!
Yes! I am so ready for this new book. The cover is beautiful and perfect for the title. Way to go.
Congratulations.
Thanks, Jan. It means more to me than I can say to see so many kind comments about the cover and title. There was so much discussion and internal wranglings behind the scenes over both. I’m really, really pleased with the cover and glad to know it is generating a lot of excitement!
Hello, and congratulations! I am looking forward to hopefully buy the book at PPM 2012.
Hello, Hanne! Can’t wait to go back to Prague and will definitely look forward to meeting you there! I’ll have your book ready and waiting!
Congrats! I sure will be looking to your new book, dear friend!
Hopefully you will be in our part of the world to show it off. 🙂
Thank you very much, Dagmar! And I’ll be coming back to Germany in spring of 2012 – can’t WAIT. Let’s plan lunch or time to get-together, okay?
I’ll be first in line! Already cutting up scraps from my stash into 2.5″ strips. 🙂
Thank you so much, Katie! I read on your blog (or heard it on your podcast) that you have a special bin dedicated to collecting 2 1/2″ strips. That’s an awesome idea! Way to go!
WOOOO HOOO!!!! Doin’ the happy dance for you! I can’t wait to see all the new designs.
I’m doing the happy dance here too, believe me! Thanks, Pat. And I’ll bet you’re still doing the happy dance over at your house for that GORGEOUS new grandbaby! 🙂 Many congrats to you, Kate, and your whole family!
Kimberly,
I am so proud of you, you have come such a long way. Can’t wait to get your new book.
Love Barb
Thanks, Barb — that means so much!
I am so excited for you!!!…..and for me, since your books are great!! I can’t wait to see the projects inside your book. I love the cover!
I’ve been a bad correspondent and have been lurking instead of commenting because I owe you an email. I’m really sorry about that. Embarrassing how time gets away from me. But, I’ll catch up with you soon!
Hi Cindy! No apologies necessary — I’m just delighted to hear from you ANYTIME! Thanks for the kind and supportive words. I appreciate it very much! And don’t be such a lurker — I love hearing from you any time you care to drop a line or two! By the way, I LOVE the masthead on your blog with all your “fox” trinkets. Too cute! (Everybody….check it out at kitsunequilts.blogspot.com)
You have been so patient with this process. The cover alone tells me how wonderful this book is. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
Thank you, Kathryn! I can’t wait to see it finished and in print myself! 😉
I can hardly wait to see the new book!
Mary Sue — Thank you so much. I can honestly say, “me, too!” 🙂
YEAH! I’ve been watching and watching and had left you messages at your facebook. Finished my jelly roll star from AQS Des Moines… with added borders…. and want you to see the pics. Top pics are posted on my facebook page. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new book!
