Dear Dini

F+W Media is planning to publish a compilation book of short multi-craft projects. As a successful crafter, we thought you might be interested in this opportunity to submit projects for consideration. We are planning to include all types of crafts in this book including, but not limited to, sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet, beading, jewelry, polymer clay, and paper. Detailed rules and instructions, as well as deadlines and our submission form, can be viewed at http://bit.ly/CallForCraftEntries. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Thank you, 

C. Noel Rivera

Associate Editor - Craft Community

F+W Media, Inc.

I submitted 5 craft projects, and they sent me another e-mail stated that they accepted 3 of it (Fall Foliage Coaster, Purple Bloom Hanging Pocket, Batik Wall Decoration)
