My Book Cover!!

I'm SO excited that I get to show you the cover!!




It was great revealing my book to you a month ago, but it is even better now that I can show you the cover. The quilt on the cover is called Four Patch Shift. It features Pick a Bunch by Nancy Mims for Robert Kaufman.

Skip the Borders
Easy Patterns for Modern Quilts

My book is being published by Martingale. They have been amazing to work with. Choosing a publisher isn't the kind of thing you do overnight. I decided to work with Martingale after a lot of research and conversations and I could not be happier with my decision.



You can pre-order a signed copy in my shop. All Pre-orders will also receive a Jaybird Quilts Pattern as a bonus! 


Also if you will be at market...
I will have a schoolhouse session about my book! More info to come on that soon!

Added:

Martingale also just made this cute little button to go with their new updated logo! Personally I LOVE the blue bird! ;-)

    I love your book cover. I cannot wait to see your book. Your quilts are my favorite on the entire internet. You insipire me. I like quilts without borders because I cannot cut straight borders. I love the color combinations and fabics you use. Awesome.

    I love it! Thanks for sharing it with us (and how excited you must be!!!).

    I know you're going to Market, but do you ever go to the AQS show in Paducah? (or any of their other shows). I'm going next week and would love to meet you in person if you're there.
