JWD Publishing Blog

Hello to all my faithful readers,

I was starting to get calls from people saying where are you at? There is nothing new on the blog!! Sorry. I have been playing hooky. With the warm weather and the gardening and now the apples are coming in I just got side tracked. But I haven’t forgotten my promise to you to continue to bring you new and unique products.

I do have one thing I would like to share with you. It’s something sad that also caused me to delay from writing on the blog. August 25th my faithful companion Nico, a beautiful German Shepard, died. That morning she was with me in my sewing room. I was designing a new block for Quiltmaker Magazine 100 blocks series that will come out in 2011. I looked at her and said, “I should name this block after you”. She tilted her head like to say, “ya mom that would be great”! It’s a star and she is one of the stars in my life so I thought it would be appropriate. That evening she was sitting at my feet and she had a seizure. Before I could get her to my veterinarian she died. My veterinarian said it was a blood clot to the lung or heart. My husband, my other dog Mystic, and I have been sad for her leaving but are happy that she decide when to go and that we were with her. By the way, the new block is named “Nico’s Star”. I think she would love it!

Let me touch on one product I did find for you. Carol Doak’s Foundation Sheets by C&T Publishing. I have used these myself. You can use them in most inkjet or laser printers or copy machines. No shrinking, curling, or turning brittle! And the best thing is it tears away easily! What makes it different is it is lightweight so, it won’t create bulk. It’s absorbent so less ink transfer where you don’t want it. And it’s non-coated so fabric won’t slip on it! It comes in 100 sheet package for around $10.00. Check it out! See you later, Teresa
