::Pinch Me!::

February 27, 2012 By Katie

Last week, Jacquie and I received word that each of us would be overnight-shipped an advance copy of our book.

I returned home the next day from errands, and sure enough, there it was!  It’s hard to believe Quilting Modern actually exists in ink on paper, and not just in our heads.

All 176 pages with its 7 techniques and 21 projects have been made even more enticing with Interweave’s touches.  It really is a beautiful book.

I’ve been combing through it trying to decide which quilts to replicate with other fabrics, designs and colors.  I hope you all will be inspired to do the same.

An ebook also is available now in addition to the pre-order on Amazon.  It will hit the shelves in April.

Yeah!

    I just looked at the ebook preview and your book looks even better than I’d hoped! I can’t wait for the paper version to come out. There’s just something about having hard copies of craft and quilting books, the e versions just don’t cut it!

Well I thought Amazon Surf was a stupid paint name Well I thought Amazon Surf was a stupid paint name and it turns out it’s because it’s not its name. We’re sleeping in the Aussie Surf;) you can see it is Boss approved. I love it with the other colors and I didn’t go purple, but that hallway sure would look good with some light apricot:) #benjaminmoore #aussiesurf
Happy ❤️ day peeps! Boss and I took a long qui Happy ❤️ day peeps! Boss and I took a long quiet walk early this morning in Fauntleroy Park, followed by Nutella banana bread and naps. Then we put the bedroom back together and I’m loving the new color with the colors in the hall and bath. The snow has been such a delightful balance of inside and outside time all weekend. More walking to enjoy the snow before the rain starts.
Snow day loveliness with a second coat of Amazon S Snow day loveliness with a second coat of Amazon Surf in the bedroom (and Boss’s nose), which is thankfully love at first sight. Multiple Boss walks and naps, and a lovely brunch. I’d love to move away from using plastic wrap on pudding to avoid the skin and went with TJ’s waxed cloth after it had cooled a bit but it left a bad flavor on the top. Any suggestions?

The heart theme continues. I have a ridiculous amo The heart theme continues. I have a ridiculous amount of bundt pans. They don’t stack well and all do the same thing, but they all make me so happy. Plus we get to say lines from My Big Fat Greek Wedding every time we slice into one. This bundt is plain ole pound cake from Casella’s A World of Baking, my fav with a cuppa coffee.  #bundtcake #nordicware #valentinesbaking
