Thanks for all the great comments, especially for those of you who were honest enough to admit that applique is not easy to love. There was a time when I would have agreed with you. A lot of applique techniques are just miserably fiddly, exacting and stressful. Not my idea of fun, for sure, and that’s why I developed a new approach to applique. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Our winners are: Kathy, Mindy and Lorraine. I’ve already emailed you, asking for your mailing addresses. Your copy of the magazine will go out as soon as your address comes in!

Speaking of coming in, look what arrived yesterday!

The first box of books has arrived! I’ve been just giddy, knowing that the book I’ve been working on since August of 08 is done and here. It’s been a big project, huge, and pretty much a joy all the way through. The wonderful folks at C&T have been patient, and kind and helpful. Never once did I have to worry that the editors would strip away my silly style of writing.

So, for those of you who have already placed an order (and boy do I love you for it!), the books will begin to ship next week. We are still waiting for the shipment of Wash Away Applique Sheets, it will arrive toward the end of next week, so give us a little more time to get those orders out.

For those of you who have been thinking about ordering, we’re now ready to take Pay Pal orders. Or, ask for it at your local shop.

I’m so excited about all the new techniques in this book. I’ve always known that there is so much more that we could do with the basic “Hand Applique by Machine” process. This new book not only covers the basics but takes us forward with fresh ideas on thread and fabric and stitches. Oh, my!
