I’m so excited for this week! Not only will I be attending Sewtopia later in the week (be sure to follow me on Instagram for live action shots of the retreat!); but this week I get to share several amazing books with you! Several of my friends have written books and I can’t wait to tell you all about them. I mean, when someone takes on the task of creating an entire book – that’s something to celebrate, right?

The Quilter’s Planner by Stephanie Palmer

For starters, Stephana Palmer, aka Late Night Quilter and my new BQF (Best Quilting Friend) has just created The Quilter’s Planner. A quick background – Stephanie and I met back in August while taping machine quilting segments for QNNtv. We hit it off immediately and now we are even periscope buddies, too!

So I’ll get to the planner details in a minute, but first I want to tell you about the unique way in which Stephanie is selling her planner. She’s using the crowd-funding site Indiegogo to take pre-orders while she finalizes the finishing touches. What’s awesome about this platform compared to others is that she doesn’t have to meet a funding goal in order to go ahead and print the planners and send them out into the world. Unlike Kickstarter, there’s no threat of an unsuccessful crowd-funding project. So if you order a planner, you are guaranteed to receive a planner! Sounds like a win-win to me!
