Order your SoTTT/Stripper Book(s) here!!

[Renata]

Goody-goody, Having thrown together a book for the Wot Rotts, I fully appreciate how much work you are putting into this, especially as you are going through everyone's photos to make the best of them that you can. Glad to hear from you, and that you haven't totally disappeared.

Did I miss something here? I do not have a book from the Wot Rotts. Or is it still 'in progress"?

Still in progress - waiting for a few more finishes (mine included :wink: ) and Roseanne forgot to add names to recipes when she put them in, so we are waiting for her to do that too.

Rosemary, I somehow missed that there was a deadline for the WotRoTTs ops: ... I am working on piecing mine as we speak. When do you have to have pictures in by? Actually, what all do you need and by when? Thanks and sorry I missed it...

[djane]

So excited to hear that the book is in the final stages now! I sure appreciate all your work Carol.

[djane]

Yippee! Go Carol! Can't wait to see the finished book! Thanks sew much for all your work in putting it together! Wish I had mine done in time but didn't make it! But I will love to see everyone else's anyway :lol: :lol:

[djane]

So, is it too late to add a recipe?

[djane]

What is this about "recipes" ??? Guess I must have missed out on something. Also waht is ROT WOTTS???
Thanks, Mona

Wot Rott was a swap I ran last year for a limited number of members. It stands for 'Winding On The Reels Of Tangled Threads' and we were swapping the 'thread sections' of the reel/spool block from Edyta's spools quilt. The conversation on the forum ended up talking about food and then people started naming their reel colours for a food or recipe.... and then we started swapping recipes.... and then someone suggested that we should have a book entitled 'Recipes & Reels' or was it 'Reels & Recipes'? ....... Since I got to see everyones reels, I scanned them all into my computer, and with Romira have been compiling the book using http://www.blurb.com as they have a facility that you can upload and edit a book from different computers (& continents) provided you have the right user name & password.

Renata, I hadn't actually set a deadline for finished quilt pictures, I've just been trying to collect them as I hear about finishes....

Terrie, always time to add new recipes along with the photos - that is the beauty of the blurb site, you can play about with the editing for ages, but when it is ready for sale it only ever prints the actual number of copies required so there are no costs up front for the printing - It is however a more expensive way of buying books, but having bought one, by Barbara Brackman, I can vouch for the quality as excellent.

Rosemary,
It's been a while since participating in both the SoTTT/Stripper and Wot Rott exchanges, I just want to make sure I'm on the list of those wanting to purchase the book you're working on AND the SoTTT book.

[golfjane]

Clara is keeping tabs on everyone wanting to order the Sottt's book, place your order in this thread.

For the Wot Rott book I will definitely place an alert on the Wot Rott thread, and ask if ARJJ would add a note to the newsletter they send out. But I am doing mine through blurb.com so it would be bought individually (or if a bunch of you are relatively near one another you could put in a larger order and make a bit of a saving on the price).

[golfjane]

Thanks for the reminder, Rosemary.

Hi Pat and all they rest of the SoTTT/Strippers who are axiously awaiting for our keepsake book. Just a little update... I am working on it and I hope in the next three months I will have it all done and ready for purchase. It has been a large project but all the effort is going to be worth it. I think all of you will totally love it and enjoy sharing it with your non-TQS friends and family. I want the pictures of the quilts to be the best they can be so this is the part that is taking a little time. I have been editing with Photoshop to get the colors to be vibrant and beautiful. Thank you all for being so patient and I will let you know as soon as they are available. I have the spreadsheet that Clara sent me with all your names and address. I am thinking I will set up a Paypal account to handle the payment and shipping. I will be posting all the details in the Forum when this is ready to go. So, in short I am finalizing the book for printing and working on the logistics for distribution. Lots of exciting times are ahead.

Thank you so much

[gerbigk]

I have sent my name but no one contacted me for my address??? Do you already have it from the swapping list ??? Just curious.
Thanks, Mona

Bren, I'll send you a message about what to do with your picture of your quilt. As for recipes, Romira has collected all the ones that got posted, but if you have a good go-to recipe that you think we would enjoy you can still submit it.

Hello Sisters;

I have been away for a while and need to find out how to get a book and the recipes. Thanks, Blessings to all. Love Barbara from SC

[Millboroquilter]

I think that you may be mixing up the two books, the recipes were for going into the WotRott exchange book not the Sottt/Stripper exchange book.

However it would be nice to hear if thing are advancing with the SoTTT/Stripper book.

The WotRott book is currently held up because I haven't finished my reels quilt yet :wink: and I am hoping to hear from some others that they have finished theirs too for entry.
