Hello! It’s been quite a week with a sick little girl and two emergency room visits (thankfully everything is fine now – a huge relief to say the least). After the two lovely book parties, I’m still sorting through a bunch of photos and now it’s almost time to pick Pearl up from preschool! I’m really looking forward to posting about them but a few sweet photos from Saturday night at Modern Domestic by Daniela will have to do for now…

So I’ll just quickly announce the winner of the fabric packs and book giveaway. Thank you SO much to everyone who entered, I loved reading all your thoughts on log cabin quilting, and it was an especially nice bright spot during a worrying week. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the really wonderful comments.

The random number generator picked for me:

And that was Mellisa, who said:

Cute fabrics! I like that log cabin is a nice and straightforward design for newbies 🙂

Yay, Mellisa! I’ll email you and get all your info right now.

I also just posted some big new updates at Quilts for Quake Survivors – thanks SO much to everyone who has been sending in fabric or blocks, come to a bee, or helped spread the word! Please check out the blog if you’re interested in that project – we have some new fund-raising and donations details and new bees in Saint Paul, Minnesota and South Pasadena, California.

My deepest thanks to everyone who has been supporting my book with kind words, coming to the events, writing reviews, or making beautiful versions of the projects – thank you! I’m so happy to announce that Powell’s now has signed copies, and Modern Domestic now offers one of my log cabin quilt block kits paired with each book. More updates (including some bonus mini-projects to make!) coming very soon.
