Remember, today is the last day to join in my publisher's special promotion for Elm Creek Readers!

"Celebrate the launch of the newest Elm Creek Quilts Novel, The Winding Ways Quilt, by entering to win a book plate signed by Jennifer Chiaverini. Just buy your copy of the novel, at any bookstore, on any day from April 1 through April 7. Then send an email to elmcreekquilts@simonandschuster.com. You must include your name, your mailing address, the name of the store where you purchased your book, and your date of purchase. If you’ve already pre-ordered a copy at your favorite online retailer, you’re still eligible to win—just convince a friend to purchase a book, email both sets of contact and purchase information, and you’ll each receive a book plate. So mark your calendars for April 1, and don’t wait to enter—quantities of these beautiful, signed book plates are limited."

If you are a Hawaiian quilter (someone who actually lives or used to live in Hawaii, not just someone who makes Hawaiian-style quilts) and wouldn't mind helping me with a project, would you please drop me a line?

If you aren't a Hawaiian quilter but know one, would you please put her/him in touch with me?

Thanks in advance.

Check your mailbox or your favorite quilt shop for the September 2007 issue of Quilters Newsletter Magazine for the first installment of my three-part story, "The Fabric Diary," introducing a new character who will appear in The New Year's Quilt in November. In this QNM exclusive, quilter Adele Crosier buys a Manhattan bed-and-breakfast and inherits the mysteries of the quilts discovered within.

Enjoy!
