Dear Quilty Friends,
I am so excited to tell you that I have written a book with C&T Publishing!!!!!!!!!!
As you can see right over there <---- it is called
CITY QUILTS - 12 Dramatic Projects Inspired by Urban Views
12 quilts - all solids, nothing but beautiful Robert Kaufman solids!!!!
This project has taken 1+ years, and it has been the best, hardest thing I have done, aside from raising my children.
I hope you will love it, and I hope you will buy it! As Linus says to Charlie Brown about the Great Pumpkin, " He'll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch and he respects sincerity." This is a most sincere quilt book, and everyone respects sincerity! I have so much to say about the journey, but I'll save it for another day.
Thank you for being my friends,
Cherri
P.S. Meant to say that it is due out in May 2010
