Listen to a Chapter from Mally the Maker

Hello My Quilting Friends! This week I’m trying on a new hat – audiobook narration. I’ve read Chapter 1 from Mally the Maker and the Queen in the Quilt so you can begin the journey with Mally into the magical world of Quilst.

I had SO much fun reading this! I’ve loved reading out loud since I was a kid so narrating this book felt natural and fun.

I’ve been planning to record the audiobook within the next few months, but sharing this first chapter has finally convinced me it’s worth the time and effort to pursue. I’m going to pull out a small laptop and my really good microphone and begin the official recording today. I can’t promise when that will be available, but I’ll at least take the first steps this week!

I won’t be able to film that because I’ll most likely be recording in my bedroom closet. You need REALLY good audio quality for an audiobook and that is the best space in the house for recording without any outside noise. Once I fill it with quilts, it will hopefully have the perfect acoustics too.

Whew! I feel like there are a million things to do this month before this book is ready to release officially on November 1st. Today I’m working on the layout for the Ms. Bunny sewing pattern and finalizing the files for print.

I hope you’re having a wonderfully creative day!

Let’s go quilt,
