➕ Thank You ➕
There are so many of you to thank, I don't even know where to begin!

Here are all the quilts from the book in one mosaic (not in any particular order) and below is each quilt and a link to the bloggers who made a project. Each blogger was given the freedom to change it up in any way and they were so creative.

This picture is of the handwritten quilt labels for each quilt photographed on the back Rick Rack Runner Don't you just love the binding with the little plus signs. You can tell from the dates, many of the quilts were finished in December 2016. My tutorial for handwritten quilt labels is here.
RESOURCES
As many of you know, new authors are not given an advance on royalties so it was greatly appreciated to receive beautiful fabrics and supplies for all of the projects. It was such a joy to 'shop' for fabric and supplies and have it land on your doorstep.
Due to constraints we were not able to provide a resource page to the various manufactures and supplies, so I want to acknowledge you here (and hope I'm not leaving anyone out).
FABRIC
Fabrics used in the projects throughout the book were generously provided by the following:
Andover Fabrics
Backside Fabrics
Birch Fabrics
Cloud9 Fabrics
Hoffman California Fabrics
Michael Miller Fabrics
Moda Fabrics
RJR Fabrics and Cotton and Steel Fabrics
Robert Kaufman Fabrics
SUPPLIES
The best supplies can make all the difference in a project and were generously provided by the following:
AccuQuilt Go! provided the Fabric Cutter (55100S) and Go! Orange Peel-4 1/2" die (55455).
Aurifil provided Cotton 50wt for applique, piecing and quilting. Aurifil also sponsored the giveaways during the blog hop this week by providing the beautiful thread collections.
These are the lovey colors used on Cute as a Button for the applique.
C&T Publishing provided Carol Doak's Foundation Paper for paper piecing.
Sulky of America provided Totally Stable iron-on tear-away stabilizer used in fusible machine applique.
The Warm Company provided Warm & White batting for all projects in the book.
INDUSTRY AND QUILTING FRIENDS
BERNINA Sewing Center - We're in Stitches (Greenville, SC) Owner, Leslie White, generously supported us throughout the book-writing efforts.
Johellen George, who beautifully quilted several quilts in the book.
Darlene Sanford for pattern testing and reviewing.
The 122 quilters across the US and UK (Kate, that's you) who contributed a Plus block for our signature quilt, Signature Plus.
Many thanks to Stash Books for bringing our vision to print. They did such a beautiful job on the layout and photography, we are so pleased.
Look how they used little plus signs for the difficulty rating of each project. Aren't they cute? We assigned each quilt a ➕, ➕➕, or ➕➕➕ rating.
And, they even put my favorite color in the inside front cover with more little plus signs.
And last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) for inviting me to join her on the incredible book-writing adventure. She's all smiles here because it's shipping day. We shipped off all the quilts to C&T for photography. This was taken on February 13, 2017.
