I received a parcel from
Homespun in the mail this week which puzzled me. I squeezed the package thinking maybe this is a Christmas thank you for when I designed
Bye Bye Birdie for them? The squeeze revealed it was hard, a book. A few extra magazines? Not big enough a parcel for that. So I stopped pondering and just opened it to find a complimentary copy of their 2011 diary. That's nice I thought and started flicking through looking at the quilts, one quilt for each week.
Then the penny dropped when I turned to April. Ohhhhh, there is my quilt! Perfectly matched to the same week of Grace's birthday. Funny how things all fall in place as the day before it arrived I was actually speaking to the editor about designing something else for them. Maybe that will be in the 2012 diary? We'll see. :)

How wonderful!! And it is even better that your quilt wound up just where it is supposed to be!
That's so nice. I love surprises.
What a beautiful calendar - I'll have to keep an eye out for it!
That is so nice! I love the look of that diary - nice BIG entry spaces and a beautiful quilt every single week? Wow!! So fun that your design landed on the perfect week, too.
Awesome Helen!
Looks great Helen!!
Oooh, how exciting! Now I know what diary I will choose for next year!
Congratulations! How fulfilling it must be to see your quilt in print! You'll have to keep that page for Grace's hope chest.
WOW that's fantastic, congratulations. That is one of my favourite quilts that you have made too.
