Glowing

Look! It's me and my block from Modern Blocks. Thank you Sonja for taking this picture at our VMQG meeting last week.

Apparently I'm a 'well-known designer'. It says so right on the back cover of the book!

I'm in pretty good company. I love it that I ended up right below Ms. Goldsworthy! (that's only because of the alphabet you know. It doesn't mean she's more well-known than me. Even though she is).

Back soon with Gee's Bend report. I am positively glowing after two days with those ladies, actually. I was able to edit my last post and give credit to all of the quilt makers thanks to Matt Arnett who identified each one in a split second!

  18. it is about time you got that book!! I'm so happy to have famous friends! Can't wait to hear all about your workshop.

    (I'm actually really excited about that last statement but hesitated to put in yet another exclamation point as I had already exceeded my allotment. So just imagine an exclamation point or two at the end of the sentence...)
