A spontaneous trip wasn’t in my schedule. I had way too much to do! So when my husband suddenly had to go to Hawaii for a business trip and asked me to go along (to do the “corporate wife” thing) I heard myself giving all kinds of excuses as to why I shouldn’t go. The boys are [...]

Diva!
The invitation read “Come join us for tea, dahling.” My sweet friends from our little neighborhood quilting group, Laura and Jan, had invited me to a Diva Tea. How intriguing! I couldn’t wait. The invitation also asked me to bring a new pair of flip flops to embellish. Even more intriguing.

Not so much. (Sigh.) Maybe I’ll get to sit and [...]

I spent a wonderful day last Saturday teaching a class at Scrap and Sew, in Lutz, Florida. The ladies were all genuinely enthusiastic and ready to learn and I shared my favorite tips and techniques to help them improve their skills — while they put the clues together throughout the day to make a mystery quilt!

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 [...]

First, the good news.
I have chosen a winner! I loved reading all the wonderful comments you left on the last post. Thank you all “sew” much for taking time to drop me a note. Oh my goodness, I wish I was independently wealthy and could afford to send each and every one of you who [...]
