Fun Mail Day!

Today my book, Quilts! Quilts! Quilts! came in the mail! 
No, I am not a published author. However, I have been working on my 3rd book of Quilts for several weeks! 
Every couple of years, I put together a book to document the quilts that I have made (totaling 168.) I include a little about each quilt: techniques, fabrics, the recipient, if it was given to someone, the size and date of completion. 
I use an online book publisher. There are many but I started with Picaboo 
(when I made a book for my daughter's wedding) 
and have stayed with them. 
I like the quality and it is easy to use.
Here are all three of my 'published' quilt books! 

I also have another quilt just about finished! I have been thinking about this quilt for months and I found and bought the fabrics back in April at the International Quilt Festival in Chicago. I drew out the plan on graph paper and determined the size, etc but then things stalled. 
After I finished Harry Potter, I just had to make it a priority so that it would happen before school started again (and be out of my head!) 
Here is a peek.
I may put together a tutorial if anyone is interested. 
The finish is coming soon!
