My DL2Q Blog Books - Vol. 15,16

I had been behind in publishing my blog books and made it a 2022 goal to catch up. I did so January 18th-19th when https://www.blog2print.com/ had a 40% off sale.  My books arrived already a few days ago and they look snazzy. Below I show the covers and table of contents for two volumes of blog books. My "catch up on blog books" goal for 2022 is completed; but I will try to get out one more book this year as my posts accumulate so I do not get behind again. For a broader overview check out my blog book summary at Volume 12 published 2/23/20.

DianeLoves2Quilt - Volume 15: Jul 13, 2020 - Dec 30, 2020
Volume 15 contains 275 pages and 30 posts. I picked the cover that was pink on the front for a baby girl's quilt and brown on the back for twin boy quilts. I chose the orange cover since it offset the border orange hexagons. The Table of Contents follows the dedication which reads

Masquerade quilt intended for Robin's wedding ten years ago is completed along with several smaller fall themed quilts. A Christmas Cars quilt made from a panel is completed. Also shown is a knit blanket and burp cloths meant for a baby girl due in January 2021.




DianeLoves2Quilt - Volume 16: Jan 13, 2021 - Sep 23, 2021
Volume 16 contains 299 pages and 32 posts. I picked the cover that was pink on the front for a baby girl's quilt and brown on the back for twin boy quilts. The Table of Contents follows the dedication which reads
Front cover features quilt for sixth grandchild Irene, born 1/11/21 with three older siblings. Her quilt is titled It's a Party! Back cover features pair of Paddington Bear quilts for twin boys, nephews of my daughter and son-in-law in Oklahoma. Other contents include small items for grandkids and project bags.

I publish these books about twice a year at uneven intervals. I tend to break at logical points between post topics or else I group posts to assure multi-post topics are not disrupted between books. This chart reminds me I have been publishing these books for about ten years now.

  1. I started to think this morning that I should look into making our blog into a book. I was thinking of printing off the first ten years into a book...not sure how big that would be, though! I'll have to look into the tool you use as an option.

  2. Whoohoo for another book (or two...) I remember seeing this on your resolution list, so I'm glad you're getting it knocked out early! I especially love the cover of 15!
