The book will be bilingual, French and English, and will include a lot of great photography as well as information about the quilts. If you go to my blog and do a search for "New York Beauty" you will find several of the blogs I've done about those quilts. The collection recently returned from a three-month exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. In recent months, publishers will not leave me alone- they all want stories and to offer me jobs, but right now I'm working mostly with Quiltmania and doing some freelance stories. All of these opportunities are a result of putting it out there in my blog.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027409882918557365.post-19777860824037780642013-11-15T18:17:39.681-05:002013-11-15T18:17:39.681-05:00Bill, That's a fabulous story!

I hope to get over to France soon because my trilogy is based there, and Nantes is one place I set my characters. jenniferhttp://www.livingonink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027409882918557365.post-35831628945165955832013-11-15T12:56:04.095-05:002013-11-15T12:56:04.095-05:00Congrats!

They came to my house, photographed the whole house and me, interviewed me, and did an article in their magazine, which is called Quiltmania and is published in French, English and Dutch. They were so enamored with my quilt collection, they asked if we could do a book. It will be a 250-page coffee table book about New York Beauty quilts, something I collect, and we hope to publish it next year. In 2015, I will exhibit 50 of the quilts in Nantes, France as part of the deal.<br /><br />My jaw was on the floor.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027409882918557365.post-80118816997115952532013-11-14T20:34:08.053-05:002013-11-14T20:34:08.053-05:00When is your publication date?
