I Wrote a Book! / Beauties Pageant 263

Cover by C&T Publishing, Inc.
 

I can sum up the past year of my life in four words: I wrote a book! It’s been a long journey—my design process started even earlier, back in 2022—but the end is on the horizon. Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts: 14 Cute & Creative Projects will release next April!

I have so many things to say about the 14 patterns I designed and sewed for this book, but all the quilty details will need to wait until next year. Right now, Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts is available for preorder on sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. (The Amazon listing contains some of the project pictures in addition to the cover art—woo hoo!)

For those of you who’ve asked, I will be putting together and selling my own special book release bundle with autographed copies. More details on that next year, too ...

So, apparently, this whole post has been one big tease. The gist is, I wrote a beautiful book! We’ll all have to wait until next year to get our hands on it!
