The wait is over! I can finally reveal to you my project in Fresh Fabric Treats. I created these two adorable Block Holder Books. They have flannel pages and roll up to keep your projects neat & tidy while you work on them!
Fresh Fabric Treats should be hitting shelves any day!!
{Any pre-orders placed in my shop will ship as soon as they arrive!!}
Deep in laughter...
Commenting on something...
But clearly I couldn't contain my laughter!
I started laughing so much that I was almost crying...
...and it wasn't easy to regain my composure... but I did my best!
Debbie from Moda looking on... probably thinking we are all crazy!
Thank you Debbie!! We all love you!
Thank you to everyone who came to our book signing. We hope that you had fun & we gave you a few laughs! Thank you to Katy for snapping all the signing photos with my camera!
Here is the outside. I love how the bright American Jane fabrics look!
...and all rolled up!
This way they are easy to take to a class, sewing night, or just about anywhere!

A giant pincushion is the perfect addition to a set of Block Holders!

Did you know that we did our own photography for this book?
Yup!
I wanted mine to be the best it could be... so Jared came over and set up lighting for me. Here are some of the test shots I took in the beginning to check my lighting & white balance.

It was lots and lots of fun on Sunday! I'm sooooo glad you didn't pee your pants :) See you at next market!!! :)
and your project is a brilliant idea!
It looks like you had loads of fun, and I like the fun look of your 'portable design wall'! Can't wait for amazon.co.uk to send me my copy! Have a great weekend!
Love your idea of the block holders...and the pictures of your book signing saga were terrific!
That's an amazing project. I can hardly WAIT until my book arrives.

Julie - That is a great idea! I typically work on my projects at the dining room table (that way I can watch TV), so this will be great when I have quests over to eat!
Looks like it was a fun signing! :) Love your project too, very creative and useful!

That block roll is absolute genius ... and quilt show looked such great fun ... yay to fabric and sewing!
Thanks for sharing your photos and stories of QM! I so wish I could have been there to meet so many talented designers and quilters. Perhaps I'll see you all in Knoxville or Houston.

Love the pieces, they would make nice gifts too.
I need to play with my white balance, that might help with my photos.
