"Bloggers are welcome." Carey Bresenhan, during the opening statement of the Premier Schoolhouse. She went on to mention a rumor started a few years ago saying that Quilts, Inc didn't want and wouldn't welcome bloggers as part of the overall media reporting on Quilt Market and the happenings of the quilting world. Bloggers are welcome.… Continue reading Wanted: Bloggers

phew
I have this thing where I like to make a friend of mine laugh. It's a good goal. Seriously. And it'd be great if I could remember how this started, but I can see the big 5-0 approaching and yeah, that's not going to come to mind. Several months back she told me about an… Continue reading phew

Florabunda! Melanie Testa, RJR a bit of magic
Several years ago Melanie, Elizabeth Rosenberg and I met for lunch. We ended up laughing so hard and so much that we annoyed the family at the next table. Which was hilarious in and of itself, and only got us laughing more. Florabunda!, Melanie's first line with RJR Fabrics #quiltwithlove, is all of what is… Continue reading Florabunda!

We get by with a little help from our friends
A friend moved over the weekend. And I helped. Oh if only my brain could recall the commercial where the kid says, "And I helped"! She's a bit further away, but closer to another friend of ours. Depending on traffic they're about 90 minutes away. This is New York, there's traffic. Eh, whatever. Friday afternoon we… Continue reading We get by with a little help from our friends

I can always tell when I'm a bit stressed as blogging and quilting become a bit of a challenge. Several posts are in the drafts folder waiting for inspiration, and perhaps something else, the trash bin, the right time? Writing ideas are much like quilt ideas: right time, right place, right skill-level - the words… Continue reading Well, I didn’t see that coming

Celebrate Your Gifts
Have you ever had that moment when you're reading something, but misread it? Scrolling through facebook this morning I misread an ad that said, "Create Your Gifts" as "Celebrate Your Gifts". Creating your gifts, the things you give to others in celebration of the person whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or Kermit the Frog day… Continue reading Celebrate Your Gifts

Sunday Social
Tomorrow evening I leave for Knoxville for training on Floriani Total Control U and Floriani Quilting software. In the meantime I have a version to start exploring. I created a monster that I'm now (for today) using as my profile picture on facebook. Then there is this. Even when life has been a bit challenging… Continue reading Sunday Social

Kelly Ann's Quilting Warrenton VA Kelly Ann is a shop owner I met on Facebook, then in person she writes about her shop, being a shop owner, and quilting. She's a wee bit snarky like me, and when I have shop related questions I can ask her. Beauty Beyond Bones I stumbles across Caralyn's blog through… Continue reading Blogs I follow and the like
