1. ‘Bout time Mrs. Kennedy! Great work–we want first run, autographed copies! Here’s to 2017! XXO KEK

   1. Yes KEK is so rightLori, AUTOGRAPHED copies of the First Runs for us.

      Remember when you first began your blog? Many have been with you from the beginning learning as you so generously shared all you knew, especially how to tweak a pattern just so making us “feel” that we could do that difficult pattern after all. And, we have tried, & tried again, until AhHa so that is how it is done. Lori, with your open heart, you have allowed so many of us to become better quilters, & designers by buoying our confidence. Congratulations to a teacher who so many think of as a friend & mentor who through perseverance & talent from God is achieving the acclaim so rightfully deserved. Thank You ever so much.

2. Congrats and a champagne toast to thee! Has the grin left your face yet? It’ll probably stay there all day.
   BTW, those feathers are marvellous … they look bejewelled.

3. Congrats!

4. Congratulations! That is a book I want! Happy Thanksgiving.

5. I’m in Canada so I just ordered it at my local independent bookstore. I can’t wait to get it! It’s a long time to wait but it will be worth the wait, I know for sure.

6. What good news!
   I’m one of your early followers-before you divulged that you were thinking about publishing a book- and have been patiently waiting for it.
   “Ditto” to ” loosecannon2″ ‘s comments above.
   Thanksgiving blessings to all.

7. Lori, I am so happy for you and for me. I think my first post on your site was asking if you were going to write a book. Can’t wait to get my copy (the reason why I’m happy for me). As always, would like instant gratification, but things are worth so much more when we have to wait for them. Congratulations to you, and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

8. Congratulations!! Loosecannon expressed so well how I feel – so ditto.
   With love and admiration,
   Pat.

9. My LQS owner follows your blog, but I’ll stop by her shop today to encourage her to place an order. Is it spiral bound? I can’t tell from the photo, if not I’ll get that done too. Thank you and congrats on this professional milestone.

33. WoWee!! I’m also looking forward to this book. I have to ditto loosecannon2 love your blog and your wonderful inviting us into your family and knowledge. I am thankful for you and all of the quilting teachers that also blog and share (which of course means I have a wonderful extended family),having a loving family guiding and teaching me to be a responsible citizen,living in this wonderful country (I know it’s not perfect but we’re a work in progress) and the list goes on.

34. Congratulations!! Can’t wait to get.

35. A ? will I be able to purchse this book from you or do I need to go thru an indepedent retailer?

    1. I don’t think I will be selling them directly from my blog–though I will consider it.

       1. Uh, and please consider something else….I would dearly love to purchase an autographed copy…Might that be possible? Also, at the local library in our former FL town, if a patron asks for a particular new book and the library doesn’t have it, it is obligated to order it for the library ! How many libraries are there that we all have access to? Besides my personal copy, I also will need another one for our annual guild birthday party in April.

       2. Love your thinking Marta!!!

36. Congratulations on what I am sure will be a fabulous book! I am so thankful for all the great tutorials and quilting advice I have learned from your site. You are very talented! Will your new book have all your tutorials thus far in it? Also, do you have a tutorial for the feathers? They are lovely.

    1. The book includes 61 of my favorite motifs–which is not the full collection. No tutorial for the feathers available…I’ll see what I can do in 2017

37. Happy Thanksgiving Lori and congratulations on your wonderful book! Your FMQ feathers are beautiful.
    I am thankful for wonderful helpful blogs and their sweet authors…so much inspiration…especially here 😀
    I am also thankful for family and will be spending time with them this Thanksgiving Day! So happy to have them come and visit.
    I hope you enjoy your time with your family!

38. I’m so happy for you. You are definitely a rare gift to quilters.

39. Congratulations Lori! It is well deserved. I just went to your site yesterday to look up a Christmas design. You are my go-to person to find the designs that I want and need. It’s very exciting about the book.

40. I’m excited for you. I love books because they work when the internet does not. You also don’t need to recharge a battery to look at the book. I guess I’m just old school.
    I love how you have broken down your designs that make it easy to learn and I appreciate this website more than you could possible imagine. Thank you for being there for us and Congratulation on you new book.

41. Congratulations. Just placed my book order with Amazon. Looking forward to receiving your new book in March.

42. Yay!!! Fireworks!!!! You deserve even more and I am so glad that this has happened to such a giving person. At this time of year, we seem to be able to do that, but you give to all of us, all year long. And so, I wish you many blessings as you continue to inspire ME to work hard and not give up. I can’t wait for the feather tutorials and whatever else, you have waiting for us, but in the meantime, I will anxiously await my copy of your book and if you do happen to go on tour and autograph books, I will hope that you visit Big Sky country! HAPPY THANKSGIVING to YOU and to ALL the world!

43. Lori, I am so happy for you. What a great accomplishment! I know you work very hard on this book. We can’t wait to see it.
    Congrats
    Teri

49. Dearest Lori,
    You deserve this. You have given and given and given. You are the one I first began studying with in April of 2015. I’ve made some progress and have more to do. But you were my first Instructor.
    Each morning, as soon as I got up, I went online to meet with you as I drank coffee and doodled your motifs.
    May God continue to bless you. With love and thanks,
    Jacqueline

50. Can’t wait for the new book. I preordered it from Amazon yesterday. Also just got through with your two Craftsy online video classes. They were great, and I am going to go through them many more times for sure. I love what you do and look forward to whatever new FMQ designs you create. Thanks a bunch!
