Well, its the night before Mother’s Day and in order to be able to take the day off and enjoy my family tomorrow, I am working late into the night today to earn that privilege… is there something backwards about that thinking? Who thought of scheduling Spring Quilt Market the weekend after Mother’s Day anyway?? Anyway, I promised some sneak peaks so…. what do you want to see first, patterns or fabrics? Well, I happen to have a nice little page of some of my new swatches so I think we will start there…

Oh wait, I like to do a little TV show on the side…. after I’m done with all the other Fig Tree activities I do… and the kids…

Well, I’m on the road again. At the moment I am in the Antlers Hilton in Colorado Springs with the most beautiful view out of my window of all of downtown Colorado Springs…. In fact the scenery around here is just breathtaking! And why am I here you might ask?
