Its A New Year
The year is under way… Can you believe that its really 2008? One of my favorite things to do every year is to organize the upcoming year in all the areas of my life: personal, professional, office, house systems, etc. There is something wonderfully cathartic about starting projects afresh if you ask me. I will even confess to making a new TO DO LIST once in a while and writing down a few things that I have just finished just so that I can cross them off and have that feeling of satisfaction that comes from accomplishing something on your list! Who is fooling who, I ask you?
As I organize & schedule the upcoming Fig Tree Calendar I am excited by so many of the projects and engagements that are coming this year. With the help of some dedicated sewers, I have just finished another Dandelion Girl quilt top for a summer issue of Quilts & More [the sister magazine to American Patchwork & Quilting with easier, quick projects & small handmade items- its a great magazine if you haven’t tried it out yet].
I will certainly give you more details as I have them as to when exactly it will be on news stands, etc. And as soon as it is quilted I will have a few better photos for you.
Talk to you soon.

I really like seeing the quilt tops before they are quilted, and then again when they are all finished. They take my breath away each time!

Hello,
I love your designs and will certainly watch for the magazine, as my local quilt shop carries that magazine.
I thought you may like to take a peak at the Table topper, Tote bag & table runner I made using a Dandelion Girl jelly Roll. . http://idahoquilter.blogspot.com/

Joanna, I am sending this comment to get
my e-mail on your list. I have been receiving
my e-mails through my husband and I’m not
sure how that happened, but I want to be sure
I get your updates. Thanks so much for your
web site and I just love your designs.

My thoughts are with you as you cope with added concerns about your loved one. Hold on to family and friends for strength and caring. That will sustain you and your family. Focus your energy on the present and other responsibilities will wait until later. Sincerely, Carolyn
