Yay! The time has finally come for me to stop tweeting cryptically and share some awesome news.
I’m working on a new book! It comes out from Potter Craft next year. And it’s a collaboration, too! I’m so excited to be working with Christina Lane of The Sometimes Crafter fame. (That’s one of her designs up above.)
Christina, as you might imagine, is working on a collection of beautiful quilting projects for the book. And my part is something really fun and interesting – a craft book element I haven’t seen anywhere else. I don’t want to spoil the surprise by giving away too much, but suffice to say that this will be one highly useful, thoughtful craft book.
…So, in future if things become a little quiet over here from time to time, you’ll know it’s because of book deadlines. Don’t worry, though – the podcast will stay on its regular schedule.
Hooray! Congrats Diane!
I’m intrigued! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations and a big YAY!
how wonderful – congrats! And I’m anxious to find out what the crafty surprise is… :)
Great news, congrats Diane!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Nothing like a deadline to get those creative juices flowing. Can’t wait to see your next book!
How exciting! Congratulations. Since I’m a serious quilter, I can’t wait to see the twist you’re adding to the book :)
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see what surprise element you’ll be adding to the book. It’s sure to be something interesting.
Wonderful, congratulations!
Oooh, tons of congrats, Diane! Mysterious and intriguing!
OK, now we really want to know what you’re doing! Are you planning to add curse words to all the instructions? I’ve always thought that would be fun. No. You’re probably not doing that. Stitching plastic canvas covers for the first 10,000 copies? Yes, that’s it.
Aw, how did you guess, Ellen?! PC covers it is. :-)
That’s so exciting, Diane! It sounds like my kind of book too! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Congratulations! That’s awesome! I love that quilt design, above. Beautiful! I am so excited to see what your contribution is going to be :)
Aww, congratulations, girl!! That’s so great! And “a craft book element I haven’t seen anywhere else”. I’ve already spent too long trying to figure out what this could be – so intrigued!!
Diane- so excited for you and can’t wait to hear what the subject is :-) I’m sure it will be beautiful. Thanks again for the great class- still working to implement all I learned. Thank you!
Congrats! I am looking forward to your mystery element! (Am just coming up for air after Hard Drive replacement! Whew! and thankful that they saved everything!)
Congrats on the new book! It sounds *very* intriguing.
Mazel tov! I can’t wait to see the new book!
