A few days ago I received an advance copy of my book.
Tears…of joy to see the finished book.
Tears… of relief that almost two years of work and waiting are over.
– Writing the manuscript wasn’t too hard.
– The editing phase with the folks of C&T was incredibly easy (after I sent the manuscript, I was worried about this phase and ready for much more work than I actually had to do).
Or maybe I just forgot the hard work…
But definitely, I remember a few challenges – all of them because I live in Romania, far away from the quilting world. And all the stress that came with them. Many times I cried in the middle of the night because I wasn’t sure how to solve some problems… Fortunately, I have a supportive husband!
You know, a manuscript is a boring thing. It doesn’t even have pictures – it has numbers! And it was an amazing experience to see it turning into a beautiful book.
I can’t wait to find out your opinion about the content of the book and the design of the quilts. But for now I can tell you that the design of the book is to die for. I am so proud and grateful for the job the publisher did for my book.
May I say this ? It is a wonderful book!
So, here it is:
Good for you!! Well done 🙂
Congratulations… 🙂
and Yes, it´s allowed to be proud.
Oh – it looks sooo great! Congratulations! Remember to enjoy!
Yeah for you Geta! Can't wait to get my own copy here in the US… Looks like a lot of fun in those pages~
Godspeed,
mary

Geta,ma inscriu si eu la un exemplar semnat de tine!FELICITARI!Meriti tot ce ti se intampla minunat pentru ca ai muncit mult!!
Da!
Frumoasa! Foarte frumoasa!
Ai de ce sa fii mandra!
…………………………..
Astfel de Carti Frumoase si Utile se pot face si la noi, in orice limba. Chiar si in romana!….:-))
Insa cercul vicios ne tine captivi:***industria textila pusa pe butuci (ata, tesaturi, fire de tricotat/crosetat…)***comertul de profil, cu extrem de mici exceptii,sustinut timid si neprofesionist numai din import***lumea dedulcita la chinezarii ieftine,in serie si "de gata",care a uitat sau n-a invatat (la scoala)cum sa-ti cosi singura fata de perna sau sa tricotezi un fular***cerere insuficienta de carti din domeniul asta***nerentabilitate din punct de vedere editorial….
Evident, despre Romania e vorba mai sus.
Oare vremurile astea mai grele prin care trecem ar putea face o bresa in cercul asta?
In care veriga/verigi si de catre cine?
Noi, cele cateva raspandite peste tot in tara, care mai iubim firele tesute sau netesute putem sa schimbam ceva?
……………………………
Cum procedez pentru exemplarul cu autograf?
Sa ai cititori cat pentru cel putin o reeditare!
Geta — what a wonderful achievement ! Congratulations ! The pictures look stunning — you are so very talented.
