Christmas News...a little late

Guess who I spent my Christmas with?
No Ideas?
How about Mary Stori,
and
Betcha' never guessed that?

My husband bought me three great books
"Mixed Media Self-Portraits" by Cate Prato
I had told him that I wanted Cate's book and Mary's DVD
and then good ole' Amazon told
him that I would probably like the other ones!
How cool is THAT!
At first I thought that he had seen my "wish list" on Amazon,
but then I remembered it is not in a public form.
Then I remembered that I had seen the "If you ordered this, you may like this" list
after ordering in the past.
I, for one, am very thankful for the
"let's prompt this man to spend more money "
list from Amazon.
And I am thankful for all the talented ladies
that put so much hard work
into writing and contributing to these wonderful books and the DVD!
And if you have not see these books or Mary's DVD,
then run over to your favorite book dealer (or Amazon!)
and
check them out!
Happy Holidays All!

Rayna Gillman

I "found" Rayna's website and blog yesterday while reading another one (Jane Davila). Wow! Have you seen her fabrics? I love them!
Look at the gallery on her website...the quilts are absolutely breath taking, especially the "Poland" series. The story there will really touch your heart.
And she has a book coming out very soon. I am going to purchase one asap.
Her web site has a place where you can receive an email when the book hits the shelf, so I sent my name in. Imagine my surprise when Rayna emailed me back! She seems like such an awesome person , I can't wait to meet her in person.
Perhaps she will do a book signing at Fiber On A Whim? She taught there 2 years ago and I'm hoping she will teach there in 2009 or 2010.
Have a look at the website http://www.studio78.net/ and her blog http://www.studio78notes.blogspot.com/.
