Modern Blocks Book

Posted by on
This book is now available to buy from Amazon (and no doubt other book sellers).


Here are a couple of pages from the book showing the two blocks I contributed: Just Jack, a 12" union jack block.


And Windmill, a 12" double circle of flying geese block.  I chose the name windmill because it was catchier than "Double Circle of Flying Geese" and because my Mum spent many of her working days in charge of the Windmill and Watermill section of the British Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.  Occasionally she comments on my blog under the psuedonym "Windy Miller".


There are lots of other wonderful blocks in the book some of which you can see on the front and back of the book.  And if you put your reading glasses on and go grab a magnifying glass, you can even see my name on the back of the book which, oddly, was pretty exciting for me.  I have never been in print before so I'm ready to leave multiple copies of this book in multiple locations around my house for people to stumble upon and say: "Oh look, she's got the same name as you".

    Yeah! Congratulations on being in print - lovely to see your name on the back! Now, when will we see the book that's got your name, and your name only, emblazoned across the front?!!

    Fan-flooping-tastic! My copy keeps being bumped down Amazon's despatch schedule, the rotters - have a feeling that it might be cheaper and quicker to order from US Amazon!

    Yay Lynne! Now I can finally show the full picture of the Just Jack block I made for Kathy way back when. ;) Much to my regret, I still haven't made the flying geese block...but I will! And it will go in my Modern Blocks quilt.

    Congratulations Lynne. Already ordered it from Amazon. I like the idea of leaving copies around the place for people to stumble upon your name. Now we need a giveaway with a signed copy.

    When I first looked through the book I saw the Union Jack and sat up straight in my chair thinking, if ANYONE'S name other than Lynne's is on there I'll beat her up! I'm truly glad there was no need for violence. YOu and the Kristas so totally rock. And Angela, well, she must have stock in REdbull.
