Some very happy news out of my world today! I'm thrilled to announce that I will be writing a book with Kristen, my co-host of Block Party and we are so excited.
C & T Publishing will publish it and it’s going to be about YOU! Ok, well, maybe not you specifically, but about all of us: the online modern quilting community.
It’s not going to be your usual book of quilt patterns and projects, but instead a “how to” book that will also be about all of the virtual quilting bees and the amazing sense of community that we have found online. Quilting bees have always given women a chance to get together and quilt, but now in the age of the Internet we have virtual quilting bees that have revitalized quilting and community among modern quilters.
I’m so excited that every member of Block Party has agreed to be a contributor to the book. There are so many talented women involved and I’m so honored to include myself among them.
And the most exciting part is that we’re going to be including all of YOU in the book too! We are going to be switching our Block Party blog over to a quarterly quilt along and we hope that lots of you will participate. We are including photos of some of the blocks you all make during the quilt alongs in the book, so please do join in. Your block might end up in the book!!
There will be more details coming along very soon so please keep an eye both here and over on the Block Party blog.
And lastly, thank you! All of you are so kind and generous and have made me feel like I’m a part of something exciting. We are so happy to have that wonderful community and energy transfer over into a book that represents all of us and the fun modern quilts that we have been creating.
