500 Quilt Blocks Book

A surprise on Amazon and the cat is out of the bag.
Lynne and I have written a book.  It is a packed little volume with 500 quilt blocks- a photo and full instructions for each plus 20 projects- quilts, bags, cushions, pillows, needle books, boxes- all inside.  As you can imagine, it has been a busy few months and we are incredibly proud of what's in there!   It comes out in September but we think we will have advance copies to show at Fat Quarterly retreat!

    WOW guys this is amazing. I am so going to have to get rid of some of my earlier books that I had to have because I don't want them anymore. Amazon here I come. Wish I was coming to the retreat but I just can't justify the expense as our grandson is being Bar Mitzvahed at the end of June and we are giving him a big present and ..... But next year I will.

    Congratulations, Kerry! That's fantastic! I do have a question, though. Is there a reason there are two versions? One written by you two and the other by Susan Reiter, with somewhat different covers, but both coming out within days of each other? I checked amazon. Is it a series?

    Ohhhh Kerry this is such great news!! I just can't wait to get my hands on it and drool over all the 500 quilt blocks you and Lynne had been making! The cover is simple and beautiful. The three blocks on it make me itching too!! Can't wait til September!!!!
