*Poof!* Let it be Halloween!

So, in my book it's WAY to early to be thinking Halloween, much less Christmas. But such is the world of the quilt designer - Fall in Spring, Spring in Fall. Working in the "the biz" now it's pretty commonplace for me to forget about which season it is and which year whatever I happen to be working on at the moment. Fabric design takes a lot of advance planning, and to make the point I wanted to share the lastest fabric I'm working with from Clothworks - Mummy Mambo by Dianne Knott! Isn't it just too cute?! I just got it in this week and have been eager to get this project started. This is being featured in a magazine this Fall and will be sending it off to the magazine the minute I'm finished with it. Pretty exciting! Be on the look out for it soon at your local shop... ;)

Also, my book deadline is *gulp* next week, and I will be buried and locked in my studio over the next week and a half. I'll be sticking my head up out of the piles of fabric and lifting my head from my keyboard to give updates during the next week. You can witness first hand the unraveling of an already frazzled quilt designer with simulataneous market and book deadlines at hand. This won't be pretty!

Next week must be the "book deadline" week! I too have my print deadline for my book - if I am to have anything to show at market! So. . . as we have our heads buried in our keyboards for the next week, . . . I will be thinking of you!. . . Hang in there! I'm sure it will be wonderful!

I can't really imagines doing my book deadline as the same time as Market. Somehow that didn't sink in the last time we talked...
Wishing you all the adreneline, caffeine and encouragement you need to get this all done! Just imagine the sense of accomplishment you will have when you put that manuscript in the mail. Its an awesome feeling!!
Hang in there.
