I published the book for the last quilt that was finished. It's an ode to the quilter and the quilting process, as well as to the quilt itself.

See it on Amazon now.

Thank you all for your responses on the first video we posted. We posted a second video and it didn't go so good but we didn't really ask for the responses like we did the first so you'll be spared the other five videos that I was going to post and I'm going to save my buggering to Black Friday when I hit the trail again promoting once I have a link to purchase the book.

A labor of love is done. I've been picturing this book for my dad and it's published today.

I would like to encourage anyone out there with the slightest interest in writing a book of any size or stature to connect with us. We will offer you much support and be as big of a resource as you need.

My goal is to make you successful in telling your stories. But the first thing I want to stress is that success isn't always just financial. There is a great reward in just communicating.

We will not restrict ourselves to the printed page, although I still feel that has so much value to it still and will for a long time. We're not afraid of the virtual space and have a lot of ideas in that direction as well.

We are looking at apps like EndlessPaper to tell interactive stories with them.

Think...
Oh in the woods there was a tree
The prettiest tree
You ever did see
And the tree was in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around
