by Cathy Gaubert. 
I am so excited to have been part of the journey of this book, and was thrilled to have even been asked to contribute in the first place, and then to have my submission published!
Jacob's Ladder Doll Quilt
Cathy Gaubert, the author, and Amanda Carestio, from Lark Crafts (Sterling Publishing), have been wonderful to work with, and all of 18 other designers were incredibly helpful and supportive. Truly, contributing to a book is such a fun way to get to know so many other interesting and talented quilters.
My contribution to the book is Jacob's Ladder; a Doll Quilt version of a traditional quilt pattern using modern fabrics and finished to measure just 22.5 inches square. Loads of tiny piecing, and as you can see, I've had fun with the quilting! Of course, you'll find the details in the book!
To celebrate the release of the Pretty in Patchwork: doll quilts book, the ladies over at Sew Mama Sew are sponsoring a Doll Quilt Contest. This sounds like fun, and the prizes up for grabs are indeed awesome. You'll find all the details here: Sew Mama Sew Doll Quilt Contest and the relevant Flickr Group: Lark Doll Quilt Contest. I hope you will join in!
And one more thing ... let's celebrate with a book giveaway!
Aaaah ... lengthy post but, as always, thank you for stopping by!
