3 Boxes of Quilts



I just mailed these three boxes of quilts on Monday. No, they aren't Christmas gifts. Care to take any guesses?


Here's a sneak peek at the quilts. The 15 quilts here represent a huge chunk of my life this year. I am so happy with them, and can't wait to share each one of them with you! But that won't happen until NEXT Christmas. Ugh. I hate waiting!!

But for now, I think I better start my holiday shopping, wrapping, and baking. No more excuses for me. Have you figured out what these quilts will be?

Best guess in the comments will get an award!

    That's a yummy stack of quilts! Could they be a collection for a new book? I hope so! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

    What an awesome photo! Black and white, but the scrappiness still shows through! I can’t wait to have a copy of your next book! I love your quilts! Thanks for sharing, what a great pic to get me thinking about projects for 2018! Diane

    Well, if the quilts aren't for a photo shoot for an upcoming book, perhaps they are being entered into a show that is featuring your work! What a lovely representation either way! Congratulations and what a great feeling you must have for a year's worth of creative work!

    With that many quilts and a huge chuck of this year's life, I would guess that it's your blood, sweat, and tears for photographs for a new overdue book. I'm trying my hand at writing a book - not a quilting book and am learning that it is a lonely life. I had not planned on this venture and have been encouraged by others to write a book about overcoming the trauma associated with childhood incest. I suffered in silence for too many years and with the help of friends have reported by perpetrator which has been healing although there is no chance of prosecution. The effects are long lasting and quilting helps me to know I have a worth. Good luck, if I am correct.

    Yes, it does sound like a new book. 3 boxes of quilts and 3 kids home for the holidays. It must be your lucky number.

    Bet it is a new book which I can't wait to see. Hopefully you'll have lots of new goodies and a new sew along for us to participate in to win a copy when it comes out. As they say patience is a virtue.

    I´m guessing that stack of quilts could be designated for a special exhibition... (where they also can be fotographed :o)) Every success and hugs from Germany!

    I'm guessing it's a book also. I thought at first it might be a calendar or quilt journal book for 2019, but it's seems there are too many for that. How exciting for you whatever it is!
