It’s here! Color Mastery’s publication date is here! The books are in the stores, on shelves, available online, and the publicity is hitting the media. I’ve written so long about quilts, creativity, and color, that I haven’t shared that much about me. So I thought I’d take a few moments to let readers get to know me:
- I’ve been quilting for over 15 years, sewing for 30 (yikes!)
- I’m the first person in my family to attend college
- I find humor in everything – life is too short to take so seriously
- I live near the base of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia
- I love to cook almost as much as I love to quilt
- I love to exercise and find it’s when most of my creative ideas surface
- I had seven published books by the time I was 30
- I homeschooled my children for three years
- I was Director of Courseware Development for the nation’s largest training company
- My favorite quilt: All of them, including the ones I’ve yet to make
- My favorite book: Peace Like a River by Leif Enger
- My favorite song: Man on the Moon by REM
- My favorite movie: Terms of Endearment or The Bourne Identity
- My favorite TV show: Burn Notice
- My favorite way to spend a Saturday: quilting, hiking, or hanging out with my family!
