You know I promised to blog at least once a week when I started this venture! I thought to myself, how hard could it possibly be to add this to my oh so quiet and simple life of 3 small children, fabric design, pattern writing, quilt teaching, husband care, house maintaining, garden weeding and several dozen other small and somewhat menial tasks? What was I thinking? But every week that goes by and I haven’t blogged, I feel you waiting and waiting and checking and checking to see if maybe….. Waiting patiently I know, some of you…

Hello there friends & fellow fabric lovers! I am back from Spring Quilt Market in Salt Lake City and I feel like I am experiencing some kind of cultural re-entry!

Not even a clue! But these days, all of these people are included in my weekly blog visits and I feel like maybe I kind of know them. I couldn’t recognize a one of them on the street, and yet I know alot about…

sorry, so sorry about the week long absence…. book, pattern and fabric deadlines. I swore I would not let them get the best of me…. well, let’s just say I’m trying to be true to my word [I’m sure my husband would say I was failing, LOL].
