I know it takes a while for every author, but this has been a 3 year process for me.  I started my projects the beginning of 2011 and one dashed hope and excitement later here we are!  December 2, 2013 will be a day I remember as the day I received my bookand I officially became an author. It's a surreal feeling. Almost...

So, do you feel like this bookdeal has been a long, drawn out process? I do. But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I will have my book in my hands soon. I got an email from my editor yesterday telling me that my book is printed and on its way to me. That is good news for all of you who have been patiently waiting with me for my book to come out. I checked on the tracking information...

I am pretty sure Monday will be the day I get it all figured out with the machine.  That's the plan anyway.

This week I finished one more of my own quilts.  I am so excited about this one.  Pretty sure I am going to call it Starburst. I need to write up the pattern and finish the binding and then I can show you the whole quilt. Seriously, it's another favorite. I got a little impatient and just had to share this peek. I will share the whole quilt as soon as I can! In the meantime, I have to clean my...

For five years now, my mom and her best friend have gotten together to have an amazing quilting retreat. I haven't been able to make it to every retreat, but I promised Mom I would make it to this one. So, I made my way up to Salt Lake by myself, Clint was in charge of the kids for a few days and I was greeted with this beautiful and cold morning at my parents house. The blue skies and the clouds...

 

Okay, so I live in a desert playground.  This area, Snow Canyon is just 20 minutes away from me.  I decided I wanted to try the red rock backdrop for my newest quilt design.  I am always so happy when I take the time to visit the incredible places around me. 

Anyway, I give you - Just Call Me Modern?This is an original quilt design by me. I thought it would be fun to play on the whole "Modern"...

So, I received an email this morning letting me know that the final edit for my bookwould arrive to me today for my final proofing! Yay! Well, it did, I am working on it - I am still pinching myself. I feel like this keeps dragging on, but the reality is, once I send this off to my editor, the final edits will be done and then the book will be sent to the printer. It is so...
