My new book is almost done!! The final proofs have been checked and rechecked and now it is printing time - very exciting!!! The team from Kansas City Star emailed me the final cover choice last week, and here it is.....
... I hope you like it.
OK, it's finally time to reveal all the projects inside... I worked on 16 different projects for this book - a large quilt with 24 applique images called 'My Favourite Things', a simple daisy quilt, a pieced quilt, a stitched bag, a stitched purse (which I love most of all), a tablerunner, a cushion, a zipped sewing bag, a needlecase and pincushion, a heat bag, a travel document holder (another project I will get much use out of), a shoe bag and shoe stuffers, a punchneedle door hanger and an eye mask. If I had the eye mask here right now, this is what I would be using as it is time now for a leeeetle rest.... aaahhh....
And it looks wonderful too Annie! Congratulations on all your hard work, look forward to it making it's way to Nowra!

It looks fantastic!!! It is exciting to see an Australian Designer being taken all over the world by the Kansas City Star company. Can not wait to get a copy here in Oz. All of the hard work you have done has paid off.
Congratulation!!!

Oh Anni,fantastic news I'm so excited, the cover looks lovely & want to place my order now please ;- )
So how many more sleeps until it's released???? Could my kids give it to me for M
others Day????
And now that you're resting I think you need to go & have a pampering day (or a few hours)spoil yourself, a facial, back & shoulder massage is what you need

Looking forward to have it out in the shops :) It looks great!!!

Congratulations....cover looks inspiring.... I'll be on the look out for it when its released.... Now that I no longer have my own shop, I have the time to do the work, but have to find a shop to buy it from. I know that I can always do that by mail order from your shop. I'd better keep working on my current projects so I can justify another project.

Love the cover! Sounds like a wonderful book. I'll have to get that when it comes out because I need an eye mask!
