I post on my website blog (www.textileevolution.com) frequently but can't seem to remember to bring those posts here so you all know what is going on in my world! It's not like I am not here...I am here all the time. I am sure you would at least want to know about my tutorials and giveaways! I promise to get organized!

My newest book Threads: The Basics and Beyond by Debbie Bates and Liz Kettle is now shipping! Yippee...I am so excited. I am having a bodacious boook giveaway on my website blog.
