New book in the works!!

I’m delighted to let you know that I’m working on a new book on embellished landscapes for Martingale, due out next summer 2007. I’ll keep you posted on how it’s going, but I’m so enjoying having a book project in the works again – although the September deadline seems a touch pressing!

My little online store has been humming with activity… A new Teflon sheet source has enabled me to drop my Teflon prices quite substantially – $10 for 18” and $30 for 36” wide Teflon. http://www.valeriehearder.com/supplies.htm
My husband has decided to use the teflon to wrap around the birdfeeder poles in another desperate attempt to outwit the squirrels! I’ll let you know how it works out.

I adore finding great links to share – be sure to check out the new ones on the right. Do you know a great landscape link to share with me? I’d love to know about it.

I recently downloaded a wonderful online quit exhibition catalog. It’s so wonderful to be able to view a quilt exhibition online! Keisha Roberts is the curator of The Nearness of You The on-line catalogue is superb quality really worth checking out. Scroll down the page and click on the image of the catalog. http://www.keisharoberts.com/exhibitions/curatorial.php

I’ve every intention of donating a small quilt to Ami Simms’ Alzheimer Initiative. I think I’ll send in a small landscape. Hannah Hodder a quilting friend from Ontario wrote to tell me about a small landscape she’d donated to this cause. Check out the link and bid on a small quilt. http://www.mallerypress.com/alartquin.html

I’m so looking forward to Quilt Canada in Ottawa at the end of May and meeting up with some of you again. Until then…. Enjoy spring in your part of the world.
Best, Valerie
