As scheduled, every 6 months there will be another sequel to the Colebridge series. This one I feel is extra special in that it features Jane Austen, one of the most famous English novelists of all time. If your local quilt shop or book store doesn’t have it, encourage them to do so! Remember it comes in audio and e-book kindle ready! Enjoy!
Join me Feb 16th at the Mother-in-law House tea room to debut my new book 4, THE JANE AUSTEN QUILT CLUB. I’d like you to share tea and cakes with me from 2-4, as I tell all about Jane Austen and how she influenced by next novel. Please call 636-946-9444 to secure your reservation of 7.00. Tables are booking fast, so treat yourself to a Valentine treat in the dead of winter. Hope to see you there!
Thanks to all of you, 2013 was a wonderful year. I was also blessed with a step-grandchild, which is bringing much joy. Travel has been very pleasurable and look forward to seeing many of you in the coming year. January will be extra special with the release of the JANE AUSTEN QUILT CLUB. If you cannot find it in your area, email me at ann@booksonthings.com and I will send it with my autograph;-)
Cheersto all, Ann Hazelwood
A great way to say Merry Christmas is to give a gift that keeps on giving, like the books from the Colebridge series. If you cannot purchase them in your area, email me and I will send them myself, AUTOGRAPHED!
QUILTS IN THE PARLOR, is the topic I will be discussing at the Kirkwood, Mo. Public Library Wednesday the 13th at 2:00. In my third book, THE FUNERAL PARLOR QUILT, I am able to sprinkle my research on how quilts were used in the funeral and buriel process in different cultures and religions. Everyone is welcome and it is FREE!
Check out the Dec./Jan issue of QUILTERS NEWSLETTER. You’ll read about me and many other authors who are writing quilt fiction. All very interesting, accept I am not an attorney(that would be my husband). I am off to Perryville, Missouri the 5th, if you need a quilt appraised from 1-5 at the Perryville Library. At 5:00 I will be doing a talk about my latest book THE FUNERAL PARLOR QUILT. There will be light refreshment and bring a quilt to show if you like. On that weekend I head to Princeton, Illinois to lecture on quilts and do a redwork embroidery workshop. The month is crzy busy, so stay tuned for more! Yes, I am finding time to write!!!
BESIDES SIGNING AND TALKING ABOUT MY SERIES, I WILL BE DOING A LECTURE THIS FRIDAY AT 4:00 CALLED 100 YEARS OF QUILTMAKING! LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT SHOW!
If you live near Florrissant, Missouri, here’s another opportunity to have your quilt appraised and see beautiful quilts. It’s this weekend 28 and 29 at Atonement Lutheran Church. I will also have all my books with me, and will be happy to sign your copy.
I also want to thank all the quilters in Kansas City who provided good sales and fun last weekend at the Northland Needlers Quilt Show!
So pleased with the reception of the last book, THE FUNERAL PARLOR QUILT. I will be at Karen’s Hallmark in Perryville, Missouri this weekend on sat the 14th from 10-12:00.
The next weekend I’ll be at the Northland Quilter’s Quilt Show in Kansas City on the 20 and 21 to appraise quilts and sign books. Hopfully there will be a lot of both! The show is at the Salvation Army Activty Center.
Hope to see some of you there! Ann
