My DL2Q Blog Book – Vol. 18

When Blog2Print had a 50% off sale I seized the opportunity to publish my 18th DL2Q blog book. The site has sales often enough that I rarely, if ever, pay full price. Even though the Christmas season was hectic, I carved out some time to make the volume and take advantage of the sale. Here is a random page from inside the book. Blog2Print really does a nice job.

My best intention are always to have a book in the ready to publish at a sale event, but I am usually scrabbling with the details and finalization at the end.  If you plan to use the service, be patient and be ready with your book all ready to go. At the last minute during a sales event the response time on the web site is slower. Sitting at my computer in the wee hours in the middle of the night helps somewhat. 

DianeLoves2Quilt - Volume 18: April 3, 2022 - October 19, 2022
Volume 18 contains 233 pages and 30 posts. I picked a cover that was yellow on the front to highlight the some of the blocks in my Quilt by Number quilt and yellow on the back to complement the orange and cream colors of my X Marks the Spot quilt. 

The Dedication for DL2Q Vol.18 and the subsequent Table of Contents read as follows:

I came out of COVID isolation to enjoy two local quilt shows: Voices in Cloth and a show by the Delta Quilters Guild. My completions are two large quilts "X Marks the Spot" and "Quilt by Number", a smaller child quilt "Spaceman", and two wall hangings, "Ulu-Breadfruit" and "Pineapple". I also displayed quilts outdoors monthly.

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. These charts remind me how the books vary in the number of pages and in the quantity and length of posts. For those readers who do not wish to indulge the nerd in me, feel free to skip over the following charts that give my blog book statistics.
