NEW LENS: AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G’s

I ordered a new lens just released on the market and recently received it for my Nikon D60 camera and am so syched about it!  If you have a Nikon D-SLR camera, then this is a must have lens!

 It is a 50mm lens and has an auto-focus and manual focus option built in.  The pictures are absolutely amazing!  If you have ever wanted to take pictures where it focuses in on one object and then everything else is kind of a blur, then this is the lens for you!  I LOVE IT!

Read more about this lens and how to get it from the I AM Nikon blog.  Awesome article... you won't be disappointed.

NEW Modern Blocks book...

Guess what!?!  I am so excited to announce that I am one of the authors in the new upcoming book, Modern Blocks, by Stash Books.

This new book contains 99 Quilt Blocks from your favorite designers and 2 of the blocks in the book are mine!

The book will be available October 2011.  You can pre-order your book now here. I will even sign my blocks for you if you would like.

Weekend Book Signing

This past Saturday, Jenny Garland and I were invited to The Quilt Asylum in McKinney, Texas to attend a book signing for the Moda Bake Shop's new book, Fresh Fabric Treats! 

We had a wonderful time meeting several quilters that were regular visitors of the quilt shop and some that had traveled from miles away to see the quilt shop and get a signed book.

Thank you to The Quilt Asylum for having us and to all of you readers that came to visit us!  YOU ALL ROCK!
