Run, don't walk



Run, don't walk to the bookstore and buy the latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens' American Patchwork and Quilting. Last week, Karen, the gal that I work with at Henry Glass e-mailed me about my being on the cover of American Patchwork & Quilting. I wasn't paying attention so I didn't bother asking her. Then, I when I walked into Kindred Quilts on Saturday, the girls there congratulated me on being a cover girl. HUH? I didn't realize that "be Merry" made it to the cover! I was so excited. Check it out. Not only is that quilt on the cover, they also wrote about the Creative Circle of Excellence that I attended in May. I made the pink block at the top left page of the article [the bright block with flower and green stem]. Mary Lou Weideman, Linda Milligan [Possibilities] and I made the Queen on the next page.

It has been a great week. My finished fabric arrived! It is always a thrill to see the finished product. The line is called "Paisley Parade" and I love the fabric. The images always look so dull on paper. They should be available in the next month or two. I see that it is available at

Barcelona-Costa Brava-Malaga: Highlights in Pictures

I have been back for a week now, flying in to Manila last Monday and working the same day. Since then it has been non-stop: wading through the email that had piled up while I was gone, unpacking and getting things back in their places, in two words -- settling in. That all may seem dreary and tedious after having come from the amazing whirlwind of Spain with the man I love. Well, yes...in way it's a slow and gentle push back into reality. But, lest I forget, the most important part of the honeymoon is still with me...my lovable C! So it's also a wonderful settling in to rhythms both new and familiar...

Now, before I get too cheesy, another important part of the honeymoon: pictures! While I finish putting together my actual written highlights, here are my highlights in pictures. If anyone has questions about any of the pictures just leave a comment and I will answer as best I can! :)
