Holiday "Quilty as Charged" Anybody?


I know, I know. I have so sorely neglected this blog that I deserve to be kicked out of the blogosphere for all of time and eternity. From the "excuses, excuses" list, please note that I was on that book deadline, and then I needed a break, and then I had to gear up for a hysterectomy, and then I had the hysterectomy, and now I am still recovering from that, which really is taking as long as they said it would-- six weeks. Which is kind of a drag because I'm tired all the time.

But I have a speaking gig at a quilt gig lined up for next Tuesday, and another three gigs lined up for 2009. And I'll be selling my book, "Quilty as Charged: Undercover in the Material World" at these events. Which got me thinking-- you need not be present to win and all that. So if you would like to send a signed copy of "Quilty" to some quilt nut you love who would love to receive it for the holidays (or for no particular reason at all besides quilt love), let me know. You can email me at spike@spikeg.com. Yes, it is cheaper to order from UT Press, so feel free to do that. But if you order from me, like I said I'll sign it and I'll also wrap it real nice and mail it direct.

Happy Thanksgiving,
spike

I loved reading your book; Dallas Quilt Guild is huge and has $$, my own( Arlington, TX) is smaller and sincere <^^>, i think both have internet contacts(www.QGOA.org) on their sites....so if your openings coordinate with times that are not pre-scheduled for activities in meetings, ( dallas 1st Thurs. QGOA = 2nd Tues.)please do communicate and com'on up.
