Tired, but Happy Dance

Pat-

I am very happy for you that all your work is coming together and the final result is getting so much closer. You have done a fine job and worked under pressure with grace. And now you can share your IMMENSE talent with the world! I'm soooooooooo proud of you.

Now take some time for yourself and RELAX!

Hugs,

Leslie & Your HairyButt Nieces and Nephews > Many of you have been kind and interested in my book - and its progress!

Great news! I'm so proud of you. It takes courage to start, perserverance to continue, and self assurance to promote it when it comes out. We KNOW you have the first two and we'll continue to support and encourage you through the third stage! Congratulations! KJ

Thanks so much, Leslie. What lovely things to say. I've just slept for a couple of hours (don't you just love the siesta custom!) - I expect I'll feel the benefit later! So, I'm already starting to relax - it's going to be an odd experience. Tell the boys and girls thank you, too. Hugs all round. . In message , Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. writes

I don't know if our Pat is going to get any rest. Now, she needs to get going on getting an image consultant to learn to apply makeup for television, invest in a travel wardrobe, buy new luggage, dye her hair red, find a manicurist to make her nails gorgeous for 'appearances', lose 20 pounds, take some courses on public speaking, learn a few foreign (to her) languages. Mercy. Being a celebrity is a challenge but we know Pat has what it takes and we'll enjoy cheering her on and sharing her successes. Polly

Oh, KJ, thank you ever so much. I'm hoping the publisher will do most of the promotion - you can imagine what would get done if I were doing that bit! He did mention the dreaded word 'photograph'. Eek! That might not achieve the desired result >g< But, if it turns out that I will have to 'do' anything remotely like 'sales', I'll have to rely on you all again. You know me, I would fail to sell a fridge to the Bedouin >g< . In message , KJ writes

Oh good grief, Polly! That all sounds far more daunting even than the book! (though I am planning to have a facial, as my first 'real relax'! Thank you for your confidence. His mere mention of the word photograph had me shivering in my shoes >g< Bless your heart for your belief in me! . In message , polly esther writes

Thanks Patti. I've had the tea, the soak will come later >g< (I did mention 'Amazon' to him - and they do have a system for working with them. So, it might yet happen!) . In message , Patti S writes

Cheering madly for you down here too. I can hardly wait to get my first (of many) edition(s) copy. I just wish I was closer so I could run over and get it autographed.

Enjoy the ride!! And remember us all when you are rich and famous.

How wonderful! Hope you're enjoying a much-deserved celebration. Don't put it off until after the book comes out! You can celebrate again then! Roberta in D

Well of course you would! Do the camels come with electric outlets?? Who would even try to load a fridge on a camel? Roberta in D

Thanks very much Roberta. I won't be doing much yet - I'm exhausted! When I've 'caught up' a bit, we'll have some kind of a 'hurray, that's done' event! The way he was talking, there shouldn't be too much of a problem adhering to the stated timetable. So, Spring it still is. There might be some sort of a 'special' at Malvern? but we don't know any details of that kind yet. . In message , Roberta Zollner writes

Never thought of that. Perhaps that's why my sales techniques fail - I have failed to do the preliminary research >g< . In message , Roberta Zollner writes

Gosh Cheryl - you're planning a multiple import are you? >gg< Thank you. I mentioned Australia to Andrew; they do have a 'connection' out there. And, I can always sign little book plates. I will try my best to enjoy it all! But "rich and famous"? I rather doubt it; but I'm grateful to have been able to achieve something like this. . In message , Cats writes

Whoo-hoo!!! Congrats, Patti. I can hardly wait to see your book. Will you be holding autograph parties?!

Thanks TerriLee. I'll let you know when it's about! There might be a few book-signings, but that's all that's been mentioned so far >gg

Of course! I never thought of book plates.

Sounds like you should start taking orders from rctq on who wants signed book plates lol. Maybe there could be a special design and you could just add your best personalised autograph.

Howdy!

Yee-Haw!

How exciting, how fun, how much you will learn from the process. Your publisher has already sold one? I'm sure pre-sales are much higher via RCTQ as we all look forward to this. ;-) Is there a title yet? Can you reveal it? Cheers! R/Sandy

That's a great idea! I'll take an element from one of the quilts and print them myself, perhaps. Then they'd really be personalised. . In message , Cats writes

Thanks so much Sandy. Yes, I smiled when he told me this, as I thought of all the wonderful RCTQ'ers who've put their names down from the earliest mentions. Yes, he agreed with my suggestion for a title - Geometrical Quilts. My working title has always been Mathematical Quilts; but I knew that would scare off more than it drew in >gg< So, I simply generalised it a bit. I took the actual quilts to show him this time, and he fell in love with the perspective one. He asked if he could use it for his screen-saver!! . In message , Sandy Ellison writes
