UPS MAN I THINK I LOVE YOU!

Guess what was in the box from the UPS man? Yep, my very first book!
This is the title page....and table of contents!
This is the Ruby Red Dots quilt. You will have to buy the book to see the rest OR.....leave a nice message on my blog...DON'T pass the message, as I want my regular readers to have the best chance to win a signed copy of my book! You know you can order your own book from here, or tell your favorite quilt shop to order it in. Hopefully it will be at the distributors very soon! THANK-YOU Kansas City Star!
