"more Elm Creek Quilts"


I'm in print!!!!!

Finally the long awaited book arrived in my mailbox. Jennifer Chiaverini's new book on quilt patterns just came out this month of April. And on page 6 is the HOMESTEAD CABIN RETREAT!

Basically the article tells how her fictional novels have inspired and influenced real people's lives. Check it out at your bookstore or quilt store. It is from C&T Publishing.
I had told a few groups at the retreat over a year ago about this but was skeptical on whether or not it would be there because Jennifer had mentioned that the editor / publisher had the final say on what went in and what was cut. So I held my breath for awhile. Time to exhale.
Great day for reading next to a fire as it is raining sideways with really strong winds. Time to curl up, Patsy
