Join in C&T's 30th anniversary celebration and your quilt just might be published in one of their latest books.

Next year will be the 30th anniversary of C&T Publishing's first published book, An Amish Adventureby Roberta Horton. It all started with an impulsive promise back in 1983. When quilting teacher Roberta Horton told quilt-shop owner Carolie Hensley that she wanted to write a book on Amish quilts, but hadn't found a publisher yet, Carolie quickly said that she and her husband Tom would publish Roberta's book. "We knew nothing at all about publishing," Carolie says now. "I had never even thought about getting into the book business-the words just came out of my mouth!" That spontaneous promise was the start of a 30-year adventure. 

Fast forward to today. An Amish Adventure is still in print, now in its second edition, but so much else has changed. Carolie and Tom Hensley have turned the business over to their sons Todd and Tony, who are assisted by a staff of more than 50 employees. C&T Publishing's catalog includes more than 400 books and products for fabric artists of all types.

C&T is honoring their 30th anniversary with a celebration of 30 Amish Quilts and they are looking for submissions of Amish and Amish-inspired quilts to be included in the 30th anniversary book. If you or someone you know is interested in submitting a quilt for this exciting publication, please click here or visit www.ctpubentry.com for all the details.
