Fibermania

The book will be published in mid-July this year.
It will be a main selection for the North Light Book Club.
It's a hard-cover with spiral binding so it lies flat on the work surface.
There are 176 total pages.
There are 102 artists in the book, including those whose work is carried over from the original.
There are 113 activities, more than twice as many as the first version.
The book has been completely revised with lots of new material added, including a new chapter on art and fine craft.

And I have work in it!!!

Imagine my delight when I received an email last year from Nita Leland saying she liked my quilts and wanted to use them in her newly revised edition of The New Creative Artist. I have all her books, and use them for inspiration for both my quilts and paintings. I was flabbergasted and so thrilled.

I think the work she chose was some she saw in a Quilting Arts article back in June of 2004. My quilt was on the cover ( Releasing the Creative Block). You just never know who is looking and connecting with your work.

Now I must jump in the car and fly to California, where today it will be 81 degrees, while it is a mere 18 here in Cary IL. Brrrrrr.

I'll write when I can, Hasta La Vista Baby!
