As my infrequent posts have shown, a lot of what I do has to be hush-hush. Publishers are always concerned about having ideas scooped by some nefarious quilter with no fresh ideas of her own. Believe it or not, it does happen. Any way, it means that we have to keep things under wraps until we can spring it on you, complete and fully formed. Perhaps that’s not such a bad idea.
Quiltmaker is coming out with it’s fourth volume of 100 Blocks, and I have a block in it! I made the block way, way back in May, I think, and of course couldn’t show it to you then. (Gosh, I feel so secretive, like some sort of shadowy spy, in a wry sort of I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you sort of way.) I think this is my second time for contributing a block, though I did just mail one off for the fifth edition, and my brain is addled by editing and organizing and all things book.
And, actually, I can’t show you my block just yet. But there will be a blog tour the week of November 7-11, and all will be revealed. (Oh, so now I’m a mystical magician.)
But I can show you this:
My block didn’t make the cover, as it did for the volume one, but this time my name did! How very cool is that? Honestly, I don’t think of myself as famous enough to have my name help to sell magazines, so it’s surely a giggle when it ends up on the front! Follow your dreams, guys, relentlessly follow your dreams. They just might come true.
