Thank you for all of your wonderful comments during the tour. I went through and re-read them, and it so warmed my heart that you all had such kind things to say. Your support has meant so much to me. I really wish that I could send a book to every single one of you!I have really enjoyed sharing this little journey with you..... But boy am I tired!

So now that the HOOPLA has died down, I am spending some time today working on a project for my next book. (I will let you in on a little secret- I just submitted the proposal a few days ago, and I haven't heard back yet.... but I am so excited about this little project that I'm working on it on faith that it will be in the next book....) This morning I went through my stash for some fabrics:
This weekend, I started doing some embroidery for the project:
After years of denial and eye strain, and with my birthday approaching next week, I finally broke down and wore these:
Yep, the magnifiers have been in my desk drawer for 2 years... but I have managed to talk myself out of wearing them. But finally, this weekend, I could resist no longer. I did a little stitching Saturday night and my eyes were just so out of focus, I couldn't see what I was doing. The next night, I put on the glasses.... and I could see how terrible my stitching was from the night before! I guess I just have to accept it, that these are now a necessary tool in my everyday life! Blech!
Thank you! I just found out I won the buttons, charms and notecards from Day 4 :) Congrats to the other winners, too, and to you on your book! Hope they accept your new proposal.
ReplyDeleteThe blog tour was a wonderful success. I enjoyed every second! Can't wait to see your new book. Happy quilting.

ReplyDeleteGlasses aren't so bad. Happy Soon To Be Birthday!
Glad to be a part of your book tour. I don't have to wear glasses when I stitch but do have to wear them when I drive. That sneak peek at your embroidery is really interesting. :-) With designs as lovely as you do, I am sure your proposal will be accepted!
