boxes of books and fabric and a date with Fort Worth

My first lecture for my new book tour is August 18. So this morning I sat down to make sure I have all the details nailed down. First thing I did was check the Trinity Valley Quilters' Guild website --- and there I am! Wow.

Even though this is my second tour of duty so to speak, it is still so surreal. And still exciting.

My full shipment of books arrived this weekend. Thank you Schiffer Publishing!!!

So I am stocked up and ready to share this gorgeous book.

I will also be traveling with other goodies! Japanese fabric, patterns and kits to sell. And quilts to show of course.

Boxes are stacked everywhere in my studio right now...! Slowly getting them organized and ready to hit the road.
