FOR YOU FROM SPAIN.......A GIVEAWAY !!!!!!

FROM SPAIN WITH LOVE (which I have been talking about for some while) has been an all encompassing entity in my life.....almost like having a new baby. It perhaps would have come more easily if I had ever written anything before, or for that matter, ever before made a serious quilt !

I was spending a few months in Spain and never travel without a suitcase of fabric, just in case. We were living in an ancient rock house secluded in the mountains which run along the Mediterranean coast of eastern Spain....what could be more inspirational? And besides, I had time on my hands. It's fun cooking Spanish stuff, but we could only eat so much and even I need something more than cooking to occupy time!

Somewhere during that time the idea hatched to write about this place, its amazing beauty and diversity, and also some favorite recipes. And then, well yes, after all, I do own a fabric/quilting shop, perhaps it's time to make some serious quilts. I became obsessed with the whole project. As you will read in the book "I dreamt in Technicolor triangles and saw quilts every where. Day and night their patterns danced through my head---ballet, tango, foxtrot. Seth would wake up in the morning to find me cutting out fabric shapes and would retire to an empty bed at night. I couldn't stop."

I bet a lot of you can identify with this experience. So I made quilts and wrote about them and C&T Publishing miraculously agreed to publish it...... But on one condition: that all the photography was to happen in Spain. My youngest, Molly, who enjoys photography, lives in Scotland---only a 2-3 hour flight from Valencia. I purchased a good camera and twisted Molly's arm to come to Spain and take pictures.

Later, since the quilts are of intense Spanish color and warmth, the editor asked that I write a chapter on color usage and color lesson to go with each quilt. Add to the challenge! Now it's all history; but what a wonderful experience, one worth sharing, and it could not be more accurately described than , FROM SPAIN WITH LOVE.
