Timeless Star due soon!

After more than three years of disorganized waiting, our new book, is to be delivered this month - expected date June 29, 2013. I am excited to say the least. Serious business has been happening in my life as some of you know.  We've had two deaths and three births in the family in the time of serious change to our structure. These things have prevented most sane activity.

When my children were growing up and some problem preented itself, the line was: "well, nobody died and nobody's pregnant. How bad can it be." We have surpassed our limit in the past three years and I truly do hope we are set for a while. No more momentous changes, PLEASE?

TIMELESS STAR features the ladies from the Guild in the Granary who were introduced in our first book THE GUILD IN THE GRANARY. Two of the ladies go to a two-week-long quilt retreat in the hills of southern Ohio.  There is death and distruction, bad tempers and love affairs, humour and a sheriff named Brain as part of the new story. You are going to love it.

The book will be available for purchase as soon as we receive it from the printer. Please order at our web site DoubleDPress.com.  The books are $14.95 plus shipping and tax  OR  2 books for $25.00 plus shipping and tax.

We are scheduling shop and guild visits for the upcoming season so contact us if you'd like us to visit your guild meeting in Ohio or your quilt shop. We present a fun program with prizes and itrems of interest to your patrons and guild members.

My garden looks great. I may even get out and take a picture. The garden at the farm looks less good and somebody ate all the green beans.  I hate picking green beans so maybe God is being good to me by makiing certain there are none for me to pick. I love my garden until mid July and then I abandon it to the weeds and its own devices. I am having special fun with it this year.

I have been quilting a bit. I sent or Major General Deborah Ashenhurst sent five quilts to children in Afghanistan who my son told me hadn't the clothing to stay warm in the cold weather. I am grateful to her for getting the quilts into the hands of kids who need them.  I have finished up three other quilts that have been laying around - unfinished- for a while. I have three more that need to be finished. I am grateful to be getting these little piles of stuff finished up.

Do not misconstrue this info. I'm still awfully disorganized, but I'm working on it and can even see where I am making a bit of progress.

I have two, maybe three, more books in the hopper and have to get myself moving on those and I have started the research for a third Guild in the Granary story that will have a civil war re-enactment as the backdrop of the story. I have attended one re-enactment where I met Annie Oakley, a blacksmith who is giving classes in the fine art of blacksmithing in my area, and a guy named Kenny who sold me a bow and arrowes.  It was fun.

Stay tuned for wheneveer I get back here to let you know what is going on with TIMELESS STAR, the writing and everything else.
