WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats, Patti,
just went and had another look at all your math quilts.
divine.
i love the snowflake best i think.
now that you've got to the point of no return, lol, take a
wee break, breathe, have some chocolate and/or champagne,
even better and celebrate for a wee while. then get a move
on to the next quilt show with a box or 4 in hand to sell to
the folks who also love this type of quilt. i'm sure they'll
sell like hotcakes when its the designer there to personally
sign a copy for them.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
cheers and again, congrats big time!!

I hope this isn't OT? and it certainly isn't an

So many of you have been patient (I haven't been patient!)
waiting for my book to be produced. This afternoon I
received the first consignment of books from the printers.
I could hardly believe they were real!
I mentioned it over the last few days, in the context of
other posts, but I didn't dare say too much.
The book contains full instructions on how to make 14
small quilts (about 24" square-ish!), all based on
mathematical patterns. Most of the patterns are on our
website: www.quik.clara.co.uk. On the home page, scroll
down until you reach the highlighted 'mathematical quilts'
in the 2004/5 paragraph. Click on that to take you to
them. There are three more in the book . I'll find
photos for them, if anyone wants them. Recognising that
some people don't like making just small
quilts/wallhanging, I've added four chapters on how to
make four styles of large/bed sized quilts using the small
quilts as blocks.
I still have to check that they are all trimmed properly
and have all the patterns in the pocket in the back, but
so far they look OK. Those who have followed the saga
will not be surprised to learn that there is, even now, a
snag. The corrections I made to the very last set of
proofs have not been incorporated. There were only a few.
Two are OK as they are (I just wanted a better way of
putting them), and I will insert a slip to cover the other
one. I won't even say it is unbelievable, because it is
all *too* credible from this company. Ugh!
It does look lovely - I'll try to get a picture onto my
photo-sharing site before the night is out, or tomorrow
evening if not.
I'm sharing this because it is lovely to be part of a
group that rejoices in others' happiness, as well as
helping to support in bad times. I don't want to use the
group as a 'shop', though. So, if anyone would like to
order a book, please do e-mail me - my address is above.
It will be sold on Amazon.com (and Amazon.co.uk), but not
for several weeks, as the publisher's agent has to receive
copies first. It is a pity that the exchange rate between
the US and UK us so poor for the US at the moment; but
I'll try to make that side of it as painless as I can.
I hope you get to smile at the fact that the end has
finally come!

Best Regards
