I am marking this date on my calendar and planning to celebrate all week...
Why?
Yesterday everything came together, to send off to my publisher, Martingale, for my 4th book. I have loved writing my books, and sharing my construction methods. It is one of those things that is totally time consuming -- tons of fun -- TONS of work, and in the end... it really is only the beginning.
Last week friends here in Paducah braved the cold and snow to help me in some of the final tasks. Binders pretty much knew that this 'had to be done', but some were surprised that there was soooo much to pull together besides the quilts and the manuscript.
Here Kristin is helping with photography --
(so pays to be tall)
The crate -- barely able to close,
along with everything else is now transferred from my hands to theirs... and the work of editing, photography artwork just begins as we move towards the January '15 publish date.
BUT, for this week...
it is HAPPY DANCE TIME!
come join in
