Modern Bee Blog Tour :: a.k.a. I'm in a book!

I could not be more excited to share this book with you today! The entire process has been completely surreal to me, so here is a little bit about how it came to be. 

It all came about after Sewing Summit 2011 where I finally met a bunch of my online friends in person. Elizabeth of Don't Call Me Betsy, who is such a sweetheart, invited me to join an online quilting bee she was organizing. I, of course, jumped at the opportunity! Things started off normal enough, when all of a sudden Lindsay Conner, the author and a bee member, proposed the idea of a bee book and the rest is history! We all needed to finalize our quilt designs and kick things into high gear! 

I absolutely adore stars, and I had sketched out this triple star-in-a-star design for Pillow Talk Swap 6.

This is the pillow I made for that swap. I loved it and was so sad to send it away, so of course I wanted an entire quilt of it!

And here it is, in all its fancy styled photo shoot glory! 

A huge thanks to Lindsay for all her hard work organizing everything and for doing such a wonderful job writing a great book. Go get your copy today! ---> Modern Bee —13 Quilts to Make with Friends
