Seriously??? The summer is OVER?? You know, I’m not gonna say much about how the time has just flown by – it’s NO GOOD beating a dead horse! My best laid plans did not work out – instead I filmed 2 episodes of Quilting Arts TV and did some major home redecorating. Nothing at all…

New Website Design
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes, and now the new website design is live. If things look odd, or there’s something you can’t find, have no fear…things will be fixed up soon enough! It’s amazing how wanting just a couple of functions (nested comments and small excerpts) can trigger such a HUGE amount of work –…

Ready for a Close Up!
This messenger will be getting up close and personal with the camera at Quilting Arts TV in just under 2 weeks! Of course, there are plenty of step outs who will do most of the work…and this guy slides in for the sweet shot at the end! The people who live behind us (if they look out of their…
