It comes in threes...


These three publications tell the tale of my weekend. I celebrated a big birthday on Friday, one with a 0 in it. The book on the bottom of the pile was from my 13 year old son. For Christmas he got me a raccoon hat!  Thank goodness for Amazon wish lists, which is where I got his dad to direct him this time:)


The catalogue on top of the pile is from an exhibition that I went to on Saturday at the Jen Jones Welsh Quilt Centre.


This exhibition is to coincide with the publication a book by Dorothy Osler, and displays a selection of Welsh and American Quilts side by side. I just love the colours on the back of that quilt!



Here is a sneak peek (and I did get permission from Jen Jones herself to take this shot) of a some of the exhibition. If you are anywhere near Lampeter in Ceredigion Mid Wales it is worth a visit.


This is the third book in the pile that I got this weekend, and the one I am most excited about. Seaside Home has just been released and it contains one of my designs...


...and has made it to the inside front cover...


...here in all it's full glory...


...and in an nice close up shot...


...and finally there I am with my goofy grin!!!

I first did this project way back when as a simple fun thing to do after finishing City and Guilds. I had no idea then that it would lead to this and I am a little bit surprised, but truly grateful, by it all.

  1. Congratulations Deb! (I know I said it already, but it bears repeating! :) )

    That exhibition looks amazing, I wish I could have been to see it. Perhaps the catalouge will be available for sale at some point? If so, please let me know.

    And I'm glad you liked your birthday presents better than your Christmas presents - but you already know how I feel about raccoon hats. lol

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I do try to respond to each one but
