Oh hey I forgot to post here as well…

I finished the book! You can buy it! It’s real!

Go to Oblong Books in Millerton or Rhinebeck to get a copy, or order it from their online store! I also have a separate blog for the book which you can check out here: jc.44parkave.com

I posted back in 2011 that I had gotten the quilt and was thinking that I should write a book about it. Took a decade, but it’s done. I’m speaking about it in various places and if I remember I’ll post about them. The first talk is tonight. I’m super nervous. If it doesn’t stink and they record it, I’ll try to remember to post a link here.

I’m wrapping up the 1903 Jackson Corners Signature Quilt book hopefully by the end of the year.

I’m also working on a small booklet about the Red Hook Methodist Cemetery on Cherry St., TBA

And since 2012 I’ve had The Illustrated Life & Times of John Losee of Upper Red Hook on the backburner.

Once the Jackson Corners book is in my hands, I’ll pick the Losee book back up.

Happy Birthday, Grampa!

John Losee, born July 7th, 1907, 114 years ago today.
