I’ve been back since last week and my feet still haven’t touched the ground. This is not going to be a long post. I have a gazillion photographs to go through and right now I’m sorting through them all. Once I’ve done that – and hopefully it will be soon – I’ll start doing posts on my travels – teaching in Nantes, Holland and Norway. Of course, I had a fabulous time everywhere I went and I’m so grateful to the shops that hosted me – for all the hard work you all put into getting quilters to come to the workshops.

Here is a picture of the front of my book. Quiltmania did an awesome job with it – I couldn’t have asked for a better first book – does that mean that I intend doing another – never say never!

I’m hoping to get a supply of books by the end of June. Mary Kelly from Patch n Quilt in Gisborne has a book signing on Saturday 27 June – I’d love to see you there. In the meantime, for those of you who can’t make it to Gisborne, the book is available from Quiltmania and from a few shops here in Australia.

Glad you had a good time on your teaching travels. I think all your quilts are beautiful. Do you know where your book is available in the states?

Congratulations Irene, it is a fabulous book, so “You”. I have a copy already, it took a while to find a shop that had it in stock so early. I am not sure whether you read that I got 2nd prize for my Floral Beauty quilt. It was somewhat funny as there was no 1st prize, or 3rd prize,but I was told that it must have been the best of category. Thank you for getting me started on the quilt.
