Me: So this publisher contacted me about writing a book
Grandma: Well, I hope you told them no!
Me: Um...
It turned out that one email from that publisher sent me down a path that resulted in me and Stash books falling in love and making a little book baby together: First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting: 24 projects for fearless stitching.
Bucket list update. Write a book: check!
I honestly don't know what else to say. It comes out in two months and I'm so excited! If you're needing some free motion quilting practice, or if you know people who do, I hope you're a little excited too. I think it fills a need that no one else has filled and I feel good about that.
So that's my biggish news. I promise I won't get fancy on you. I pledge to continue taking pictures with my phone and showing you funny things I sketched. And if you have any good ideas for how to promote a book, I'm all ears!
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. But first: I love you guys. Thanks for reading my blog, even in the sparse months. Thanks for being so encouraging, sharing my posts and commenting on them. And you know, if you've thought to yourself "I should write a book," well, I agree. You should get on that.

*In my grandma's defense I was pregnant and working full time when we had our conversation. She was right to make a pitch for my sanity.
