The Sacred Mountain, The Mess & Spider Web Splat

It's been a long time (too long) since I've blogged. Dalen's book The Mess has been released! 3 copies of it (print on demand) arrived on October 24, 2011. Dalen had 5 copies printed so Checker Distributors could introduce it at International Quilt Market in Houston, TX, this month.  On October 28, the entire order arrived! We received our first snowfall of the season that night! This is interesting because Dalen also released a tween Christian fiction novel this year called The Sacred Mountain. It arrived the day of the earthquake on the East Coast, August 23, 2011. It has become a running joke that major things happen on the day his books arrive! I have to admit these two were very interesting & will always be remembered by us. These books can be found on Dalen's website, http://www.dalenkeys.com/. I designed a quilt pattern to go with The Mess called Spider Web Splat. It is also listed on his website. In the book, Tiffany says Mommy's quilt blocks look like "friendly" spiders.
