….so, grab yourself a tall, cold glass of iced tea and spend a few minutes so I can fill you in on all the happenings!
In my last post, I promised I’d be back in a “jiffy” but last week wasn’t quite what I expected as far as getting things back into a routine. In fact, [...]

I had a great time meeting, greeting, and demo-ing my rulers at a book signing event at the Cotton Patch Quilt Shop in Bradenton last Saturday. Thank you, Laura, for hosting the day for me. It was fun to meet so many nice folks and I enjoyed talking to them all!
One sweet gal brought in her copy [...]

I’m so excited! Shelli from Germany just wrote to give me a “heads up” about my book being featured as a “Staff Member’s Favorite Pick” in the latest edition of the Connecting Threads catalog. You can check it out online here.

Happy Day!

A little bit of this
So, what’s new with you out there in quilting blogland? I’ll bet you’ve all been as busy as I have been lately. With Spring just around the corner, my guess is that you all have cabin fever and are ready for brighter, warmer days. For me, the days seem to have flown by [...]

Sigh.
Oops
Ok, really BIG sigh……..
Gosh, I hate to have to tell you this, but there’s an itty-bitty error on the Chain Saw pattern of Jelly Roll Quilts & More. A typo. An oversight. A blip. An errata minimus. I don’t know how many pairs of proof-reading eyes missed it in the final editing stage of the [...]

…its time for an update!
I’ve got lots to share with you all, so I hope you have a few mintues to spend with me. It has certainly been a busy, exciting, wonderful week! My 2010 teaching/traveling schedule got off to a great start as I traveled to Indiana to present a workshop and lecture to the terrific members [...]
