Last week I spent several hours with the printers making decisions about the photos in Folk Branches.....This is the cover! Picking a color for the cover is like picking out a color for your home.....When you look at those paint chips it looks wonderful.....but then when you see the color spread all over you wonder what you were thinking! This cover went through 3 different colors before I finally made a decision....it was like Goldilocks...one was too light....one too dark....and then I decided this one was just right.
If you are in La Mesa on May 12th you can be one of the first ones to get Folk Branches. There will be a book signing from 10 to 12.....If you can't come just let Kathy know you want one and I can sign it for you anyway. It will be hot off the presses!
Yesterday my mom and two of my sister in laws came over to fold patterns .....and today 4 of my friends who take classes at the Loft came to tie JAM signs on my give-aways for Quilt Market....Things are coming together. The boxes have to be shipped by next week in order to get to Kansas City on time...It feels like we are keeping right on track.
Hope you have a great weekend planned.....Jo Ann
Congratulations! It looks great JoAnn!!
ReplyDeleteI'm impatient to have my copy but unfortunatly I can't be the 12th in the States! I'd wait till it crosses the Atlantic.

Congratulations on keeping everything on track. I know how important deadlines are ... and how hard they are to keep!! Will the book be ready for wholesale from United Notions just after Market? I can't go this year but NEED that book to sell. I sell all your others ....
ReplyDeleteThanks so much....I hope they do pick it up, but I haven't gotten it back from the printer yet to send them a copy....will probably hand deliver at market....:) I can always send them directly to you too....:)))
