After that, we were friends on Facebook and I really very adore this guy so much that I have nicknamed him Grizzly. A big bear of a softie, he is passionate about his children, his life and his quilting. What is not to LOVE?
I was asked if I would be interested in testing a pattern for his book Beyond Neutral published by Martingale. and I said "ABSOLUTELY YES!"
This book is so lovely... the photos are taken in settings that are serene. Natured based and broken down into sections like " Wind and Sky" and "Earth" every quilt in this book has a connection to the elements.
All instructions are supported by excellent graphics to make sure you can see every step clearly. This book is for every level of quilter. I was able to assemble Glimmerglass in about a week with Spring Break interruptions from the kids ;o)
And it was so amazing to see my name on the same page as Angela Walters...I may faint!
I think I will be making "Cayucos" next but with so many fantastic options it is hard to decide.

I hope you will be adding this book to your quilting library soon

I love all of the quilts you shared. I listened to John on Pat Sloan's radio show for American Patchwork and Quilting. He was great to listen to, and I like his ideas for using colors in nature.
I love how you two met.
John is a nice guy on the internet for sure. I would love to meet him in person. I think he embodies the phrase "Carpe Diem"
The book looks like a wonderful addition.
No idea what you mean about randomly walking up and announcing yourself to people at Market. Nope, not one little bit... ;o)
Lovely quilts anyway :o)
I really like your version and I can't wait to see this book in person.
