My timing is impeccable! I finally decided to publish my children's counting book, worked out patterns for four of the quilts, and what day do I get my books from the publishers? Yes, April 1st, right in the midst of the corona virus pandemic!

GSQA quilt show in New Orleans where I was going to start off my business venture - cancelled! Stores where I was going to sell my book - closed! My sparkling saleswoman personality - distanced! So here I am, off to a very slow start,  so I am asking you, my Facebook friends, to help. 

If you have a grandchild or know any child in the picture book and learning-to-count stage, if you love quilts, if you love New Orleans, if you love me... please buy a book or pass on the word to others that my book is for sale and I will soldier on until we can all come outside and be social, at whatever distance that will be.  And if you are home, looking for a sewing project, I have patterns for you. Crawfish are in season, and there's always another Mardi Gras coming!

In the meantime, I am not busy quilting; I am busy making masks with my quilting fabric! Stay healthy!
