I was contacted by Thomas Knauer if one of the quilts I had made could be used in a book he was writing called Why We Quilt (affiliate link). I was so honored to be asked I accepted immediately.
The quilt he wanted to place in his book was Drizzle. I made the quilt as part of Christa Watson's book launch for her book Machine Quilting with Style. Drizzle is made from Christa's book pattern called Rain and because I made it about half size, I called mine Drizzle :)
The entire book is both inspirational, reading about why quilters quilt, and eye candy for all of the beautiful quilt pictures. I am excited to have added this book to my quilt library.
You can pick up a copy of Why We Quilt on Amazon (and you can find the pattern for Use Your Illusion in my Etsy shop).

Congratulations! Of course you’d be included! Love Allison's version of Use Your Illusion! It’s nice to see someone else’s work. It’s next on my list to kit up and have ready to make.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting is that?! Congratulations! You are a great inspiration to many people...your spot was well deserved!

ReplyDeleteHow awesome, congratulations! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Cheryl! I'm waiting for the book to arrive. Looking forward to reading it soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting Cheryl. I love all of Thomas Knaur's books. I really love him as a designer and as a writer about quilts. So I'll be adding this one to my collection as well and it will be extra special because it will have your quilts in it as well.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Congratulations! I'm not familiar with Thomas Knaur, but I'll definitely check out this book.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!!! So exciting! And I love that you named a smaller version of "Rain" "Drizzle!" :)
