The third time is supposed to be the charm...

Let's hope that holds true. This will be the third time I've been a guest on Pat Sloan's weekly quilting radio show/podcast for American Patchwork & Quilting. The first time, the phone went dead. We lost the connection. The second time... let it suffice to say that I thought it would be more...

Best day of the year...

Saturday is National Quilting Day - the 25th Anniversary celebration. It's my favorite day of the year - right after National Waffle Day. (That's next week so mark your calendars for the 25th.) Begun in 1989 by the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society as a "Quilter's Day Out" on the 3rd Saturday of...

Bits and pieces...

Today is a "either-or" sort of day. It feels like everything I've got going is either winding down or gearing up, and my calendar is full of "weeks and weeks away" or a rapidly approaching deadline. Winding down - Christmas in July. I'll still be making and sharing some good-for-gift projects in...
