Manitobans quilt a book cover

Here’s a nifty bit of news. Interesting idea: quilt your book cover or have someone do it. Could be a business opportunity in there somewhere.

 

Friesens, Avalon Travel's primary travel guide printer, located in Altona, Manitoba, commemorates when a book hits a million printed copies with a quilt of the cover of the book, crafted by a group of local women. Collectively, Avalon’s guidebooks reached the million unit mark. On September 9, Friesens presented Jane Musser (l.), v-p of production at Avalon, and Bill Newlin (r.), publisher, Avalon Group, with the Moon Guides and Rick Steves’ quilts.
