You're being published!!! Holy cow, maybe I should just coordinate the group...because ya'lls talent is scaring me!!! ;)

Can we see pics of it...or do we have to wait (don't know the legalities of all that)

I posted a picture on here...My KCStar Quilt. It has been about 2 months since I posted it. It was actually the luck of the draw! I did the "Little Jewel" in just a few days. The second top will hopefully be finished this week, then I have to hand quilt her, send in pictures and pray that it gets chosen for the next book.

When the featherweight gets here I will post a picture of her! Is that ok? She will be here this week! I am so excited about getting her.

ANOTHER ONE: YOUR FAVORITE TIME(S) OF YEAR?

I have to pick to pick 2!
1) Spring...I love new flowers, the grass coming up, the buds on the trees. The smell of Spring! The arrival of new foals, baby cows!

2) Fall...the colors of trees are so beautiful, the changing of all that God has given us to see.

In response to Sweetness and Karen: I have never been published as a graphic designer, but I have been published as a journalist. (I learned graphic design through my career as a journalist.)
Until 2007 I was working as a reporter covering Latino community in Orange County, CA for the Los Angeles Times Spanish newspaper.
At the end of 2007 I left the reporting arena to work with my husband. I'm in charge of designing covers and inside pages for the books he prints.
I still write for some Spanish newspapers a weekly column. And I have a published book that compiles one year of those columns.
But as much as I love my job, the truth is I'm always counting the hours left before I can come back to my sewing machine. lol.
