Welcome!

Welcome to my brand new blog, and my totally revamped website!!!

This has been a major undertaking for me, but the time had come.
    
Next month, the new, expanded edition of The Book of New Family Traditions is being published, and I wanted to re-launch my website to celebrate that.

I’ve been extremely happy with my website, which was designed originally (and now updated) by Holly Knott, who embodies a rare combination of technical expertise, great patience and creative genius. She helped me create the new one within this blogger format, so that I may be able to add content and make changes myself.

The hope is that the website, partly due to this blog, will be more current with the fast-moving changes in my professional life.

I think this new format more fully captures and links together all the various work that I do, and the venues– both virtual and actual — where it is displayed. I’m a big believer in the new credo for authors: connect as often as possible with your readers and potential readers, and show them as well as tell them your message. I’m enjoying using the Constant Contact format to make my newsletters more visual and interactive, and I expect to be posting more videos, beyond the “book trailer” that I recently recorded, viewable on my homepage.

As you can probably tell, my passion for both quilts and family traditions continues to grow, and I hope that the work I’m doing will be valuable to those who share these passions with me.

Please, do tell me what you think of the new website. Share your ideas and suggestions of what I might write about next, whether in books and articles, newsletters or blog posts.

I’d love to hear from you!
