Book Manufacturing:

Authors/Illustrators Bio/Imprint: The SoTA Sisters from the Land of Arts...The Elder (Jody) and her five sisters...Kathy, Elaine, Cindy, Rhona and Sherry..

We all met at Rhona's to work on our first attempt as a group of publisher for our own book....And it (like all of us) is one of a kind...Rhona was development Editor...She is pictured here editing picture of quilts we have exhibited at the Twelve Months of Christmas Shoppe....
The first draft is followed by rough drafts, which are unpolished versions. Cindy is laying out the first draft...this is what is called . Altered Board Book. Our Catalog Kathy... came up with the design for the board book...

Jody and I are making what-knots to bind the book together...
Sherry the Layout coordinator... placing the pictures.. of years past quilts...we had exhibited for the Christmas Shoppe...on each page..
The printed story is Truth with a touch of Fantasy/ Fiction: we cut it into paragraphs and placed on each page with the pictures...Rhona took a picture of the front of the shoppe and we placed it on the front of the book...

I do believe there will be an upcoming Press Release of this one of a kind gift giving with pictures...Sorry but will not be found in Barnes and Noble as it is now OP/Out of Print...:0
