Cabin Fever: 20 Modern Log Cabin Quilts--- Advance Copy!

The process of writing a book for me, generally takes about a year and a half, to two years, from the time the proposal is submitted to the publisher to the time that the actual book is in my hands. This doesn't count the months of designing and creating quilts before the proposal is even submitted.

The moment when you sign the contract, or get the go-ahead, it all seems real and the panic sets in. But somehow I've survived this process three times now, pinch me, I still can't believe that I've written/co-written three books!


Yesterday our advance copies arrived and we couldn't be happier! You can pre-order signed copies here, and they'll ship in a few weeks! YAY! I'm so excited about this new book!
