My mother, Diane Knott, and I are so excited to announce our upcoming book, Quilted Garden Delights, which will be published by C&T Publishing in February 2008. 8 of Diane's watercolor paintings have been recreated by me as easy-to-make applique quilted wallhangings. Learn how to choose painterly fabric to create these unique home decor items that will look like paintings made from fabric. C&T did a wonderful job with the layout and design. It truly is a colorful, inspiring garden-filled book.

C&T is also offering 3 of the quilts, including the cover image, as part of their traveling trunk show to selected shops. If you're a shop owner and are interested in participating, please contact C&T!**

Mom and I will be appearing at these local quilt shops in the Finger Lakes region for book signings - if you're in the area, please stop in and say hello!

Calico Gals, Fayetteville, NY - March 29, 1-3
Patchwork Plus, Marcellus, NY - April 18, 1-3
Village Sampler, Big Flats, NY - Rescheduled due to ice & snow - date coming soon!

Here's a sneak peek at another project inside the book.



I have also been a contributing writer to Quilting Arts Magazine. You can read my article on using water-soluble wax pastels (Caran d'Ache
Neocolor II) in their Summer 2005 issue. The Spring 2007 issue also includes one of my art quilts, and I contributed (with several others) to Jamie Fingal's article on pricing your work.






** We're available for Book Signing appearances within driving distance. Because of gasoline costs, a per-mile driving fee is charged (current IRS rate) if we go further than 40 miles. Unfortunately, because of our busy schedules we are only able to attend events within a 70-mile radius and that require no overnight stays. Classes and lectures are not being offered at this time.
