[detail of one of the quilts in the book]
I am reliably informed that The Gentle Art of Quilt-making is released this week and will be making its way into book shops and onto websites. As Bridget Jones might say, this is 'v.g.' (and, happily, 'calories:0').
The comments to this entry are closed.
Would this be a beginners book? Given that I love every picture you have taken, quilt that you have done, not to mention knitting. (Got to be those British genes!) I might as well just jump right on in.

Can't wait to get a copy.

Lovely! Just checked on Amazon here across the Pond and it will be available 16 May! I've pre-ordered my copy!

I pre-ordered it what seems like ages ago and amazon have been keeping me informed of its impending arrival. I hope it gets here before the Easter holidays finish. I expect I'll need several good hours for my first reading. Can't wait and thanks in advance!

Right I'm off to seek a copy!

Followed your link and ordered - should be here in 48 hours and Hannah's doing her final major project (foundation in fashion textiles) which is, funnily enough, a quilt! So it will be very much appreciated - can't wait!

Ordered a copy for my sister in Australia today, and it happens to be her birthday today too, so it was meant to be!

It's all over the V&A shop, v lovely looking on their displays

I had a sneak preview, for it was at the V&A last week. Glorious.
Posted by: Ali | April 12, 2010 at 18:26
There were lots of copies at the V&A Quilts exhibition a couple of weekends ago - they obviously couldn't wait to get their hands on them until the official release date!
Posted by: Sophie | April 12, 2010 at 18:53
We were pouring over it in the V&A - gorgeous. Planned to get it from Amazon but they are showing as out of stock already! Cursing myself for not pre-ordering or grabbing it at the V&A when I had the chance...

Mine has been pre-ordered for some time now. I hope they release it quickly here in the US!

Hee hee, "calories:0". Unlike knitting.
Posted by: Shin Ae | April 13, 2010 at 01:56
Yes, very v.g.! Yours are the only quilts I have ever liked. I'm not so much into the traditional styles, yours are so fresh and simple and vibrant.
Posted by: Merenia | April 13, 2010 at 01:57
Congrats on the great news! It is always nice to see a project come to a full completion.

I absolutely positively cannot wait to get the call from my local bookstore to tell me that spring - in the form of this lovely book - has truly arrived. I will probably have to grab a cup of tea and a scone and peruse the pages b/4 I get out the door of the shop. Congrats to a wonderfully creative woman who makes this world a cozier, prettier, more enjoyable place.

Hmmm, the book cover they show has title of 'Inspired to Quilt'. I'm sure it will be a total gem.

Already preordered my copy - now counting sleeps - but could it seriously be as good as The Gentle Art of Domesticity? That is my go to read whenever the crumbs and chaos overwhelm me!
Posted by: Nell Ward | April 13, 2010 at 07:31
Just ordered my copy, have loved your other books so looking forward to this one very much!
Posted by: siriusknitter | April 13, 2010 at 11:48
Looking forward to getting a copy - I am sure it will be another huge success for you. It must be amazing to know your work is out there in so many homes!

Jane, I received mine today, fortunately despatched before the volcanic dust cloud spread! The timing couldn't be more perfect as I'm back at work after 3 weeks holiday in the US, so this definitely made my day. I've had a quick peek and it is just beautiful. Of course. Congratulations, and thank you.

I just wanted to let you know that I purchased your book, The Gentile Art of Domesticity, only a couple weeks ago and I absolutely adore it! It is one of my favorite reads!!!
Thank you for all your artistic inspiration,
