I’ve spent the last 24 hours skipping around my house, tooting my own horn, and generally driving my husband and children batty.
I received a note from Joelle yesterday letting me know that her new book had arrived. Guess who’s in it?! After seeing a run down of the contents over at The Purl Bee I’m truly humbled to be included in this fabulous new collection of designs. A very sincere thank you to Joelle for discovering the pencil roll and including it in the book. She really is as nice as she seems.
I’ve already gotten a few e-mails asking me how I could keep it a secret for so long. I’m pretty good at keeping a confidence. That, and I also have a wacky superstitious side. No need to trigger any unnecessary jinxes. I don’t think my mom told anyone either.
I’m totally making those birds first thing when I get my copy.
I saw that and wondered, too, how you kept the secret!! Congratulations, Kathy. I am so happy for you! AWESOME!
OH CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is SERIOUSLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool! Congrats! Can’t wait to pick up the book.
Wow! Congratulations! I can’t wait to get my hands on that book.
That is so awesome! I’ve been eyeing those pencil rolls for awhile now… I will definitely have to buy the book for that alone… I bet I also find some other fun projects to make (loving that colorwheel quilt!)
Congratulations Kathy! That pencil roll looks beautiful, I can’t wait to see the book.
Wow! How exciting! This is one book that I’ll buy before previewing at the library. I can’t wait to see all the wonderful ideas. Your pencil roll would make a great gift. Good Luck!
Congratulations! What a wonderful secret to keep!
Yay. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
A million congratulations. And yeah, those birds look adorable.
Well go ahead and skip and toot your horn. Your deserve it! Congratulations. You a very good secret keeper. I can’t wait to see the book.
Congratulations Kathy! How exciting for you!
Congratulations, Kathy! Very well deserved!
Congratulations! Kathy, I was so happy to see your pencil roll in the post and can’t wait to snatch up my copy of the book.
Huge congratulations to you! What a great project!
Wow! Congratulations on being published Kathy! I suspect that this will only be the first of many to come.

I saw Joelle’s post and my first thought was OHMYGOSH!!!! It’s Kathy’s pencil roll!!!!! Congratulations!! I am so thrilled for you! Its a well deserved accomplishment.
That’s so wonderful! I already had this book pre-ordered on Amazon and now I’ll be even more excited to get it!!
Congratulations, Kathy!! The pencil-roll is so lovely, it so deserved to be there!:)
I saw this at the purlbee too! Congratulations
I love that pencil roll. My son and I (he’s now 7) spent a long afternoon, during my daughter’s nap, picking out fabrics to match his fat Lyra Ferby pencils after I saw the original on your blog. I changed the scale of the strips to match the shorter fatter pencils, and I wasn’t happy with how they looked sewn together–but now I’m inspired to get the book and finish the project. Thank you! and congratulations!
OMG!!!!! Now I’m skipping too! Congratulations, that is soooooooo coool. I am a big fan of Last Minute Knitted Gifts, so this one has got to be great! Yippeeeee!
You go ahead and toot your horn! :0)
Congratulations. I have Last Minute Fabric Gifts and love it so I just ordered my copy of this book too. I’m getting quite a reference library.
Kathy, that is so exciting!! It’s a fantastic project and the attention is well-deserved; congratulations!
Congrats Kathy! Cannot wait to see the book. Before the book, I used to wonder, how will I get myself out west to Kathy’s class and that fabric store she teaches at….
