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.
