And now we get to meet Ambassadors: Kathy Delany, Christa Watson, and Mandy Leins. The cool thing is that each Ambassador brings something different, a different skill set, a range of style, and idea. Each Ambassador is influenced by something different from a sense of quilting history, an abounding enthusiasm for the modern style of… Continue reading BERNINA Ambassador Blog Tour Day 2

Just a few moments ago the last stitches on 3 quilts that were made over the last several weeks. These needed to be finished in time for Lancaster and I made it. Whew. It's now nearly 1:30 in the morning, as happens I'm now wide awake, and need to get up early to get these… Continue reading BERNINA Ambassadors: Telling our Stories
Cheryl Sleboda at Muppin is hosting a 31 day blogging challenge. I'll be adding her and a host of others to my blogroll (on the left column of the page).

Shortly after this I chose to limit the blog in favor of writing my book and trying to keep blogging commitments with Generation Q Magazine, after… Continue reading Focusing on the goal
