Today I'm delighted to share a very special finish.
I'm not sure that the Fed Ex delivery woman cared that I'm an author, but she knows now. Actually, she was very gracious and kind and congratulated me. Hey! It's not every day your new book (!!!) gets shipped. I'm going to celebrate this for all it's worth!
I'm selling signed copies in my shop. For those of you who pre-ordered them, thank you! I'll be working my way though the orders soon!
Now it's your turn! You know the drill. Link away with your finishes! And a very happy Friday to you!!!
Oh, Happy, Happy Day! Dancing around in excitement for you, Amanda Jean!
ReplyDeleteHooray, Hooray!

Congratulations! I bet the only thing better than the smell of "fresh ink" is when it's emanating from a book you wrote!!

Congratulations big time! The book looks awesome and better yet I can order it at the bookstore since I am overseas from you (will order it asap.). Can't wait to read it and try some of the projects.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteI have to say, my book came today too! Pre-ordered in December was thrilled last week when Amazon emailed and told me it would be shipping a month early! This book is so well written, I cannot wait to read every single word! (note, I usually buy books, look at the projects and put it on the shelf) I have already made the kiddies wait through the wagon train at school so I could read at least some of it!
ReplyDeleteHuge congrats! Hopefully the first of many to come :)

I am loving my book! I will do a book review as soon as I'm done! I want mine signed in July, Okay?!!
ReplyDeleteI sent my husband a link really hoping he'd take the hint and actually act on it... :)
ReplyDeleteBut, in any case...It almost feels like I'm celebrating for a dear friend as you've been so gracious to share so much about quilting with us. I'm just tickled pink that they arrived and can't wait to get my hands on it...

Congratulations on your book!!! That's so exciting!
I just ordered two copies of your book on amazon.com. I check your blog daily; and am inspired by your work. Thanks for writing a book so we can all join in the fun. I intend to give a copy to my friend who took me to our local quilt show yesterday and wheel me around. I had spinal surgery 2 weeks ago and cannot quilt at my machine for weeks. I think your book is the perfect thank-you. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI am SO BUMMED I pre-ordered on Amazon ... :) Is your house filled with that "new book smell"? Bet it's heavenly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to finish a week, with your very own books in stock! I pre-ordered a copy so I haven't seen it yet. Can't wait to get starting using my scrap stash. Congrats to you and Cheryle!
ReplyDeleteI think my husband ordered my copy (from Amazon) - I don't win anything so I quit trying.
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to this book! Congratulations--What an amazing sense of accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is so exciting :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some finished projects to share, but my sewing studio is in even more of an in progress state than when I shared it on my blog a week ago :) So no sewing or crafting over here :)
congrats!!! Just ordered one, and I can't wait to get it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats...You were the first blog I ever read and one that I am still reading. You deserve to get a book deal. Your ideas are fresh and beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Am so looking forward to checking out the book!!
ReplyDeleteI was sent over from V and Co. Your book looks lovely, and your blog, too!
