Thank you so much, all of you kindred spirits out there! Your words of encouragement mean the world to me. I love you all. I am better today, and not feeling quite so fragile. My goodness, the blogging world sure is full of support and encouragement and love. Right now, this is what I need […]

My goodness. I just won something! Dear Jane from Sew It Create It had a blog giveaway going on and I made a comment on the required day. Miraculously, my name was the winner! You see above the lovely things she sent me, all the way from England. A terrific tote all made out of […]
I think I mentioned a few posts ago that I have been invited to teach Miss Rosie quilt patterns at my favorite local quilt shop. I had two quilts in mind for this spring calendar session, with the idea that I would teach one class in March and the second one in May. I received […]

Loving clothes almost as I love quilting, this is a great opportuinty for me to indulge that passion. Tomorrow I leave for my corporate training in, […]
I am having a very happy time playing with ideas for blended quilts. It has become a bit of an obsession, really. And my Blended Challenge friends are a bit stalled out these past couple of weeks, so I hesitate to blather on about the subject of Blended Quilts, but I just can’t help myself. […]
