Radio Interview!

Wow it was fun....and a blur! I was so excited, once Mark got on the line and we started talking it was over before I knew it. I don't think I said anything silly.....but I sure did talk a lot. The interview ran about 15 minutes and we talked a lot about being creative and the creativity of Square-agonals. It will be aired on December 29 and I will remind you later with all the details.
Till later.....

Secret Event - Cool News!

Now that I have the details I can reveal my secret event. I have been invited to be a guest on the Mark Lipinski radio show Creative Mojo! The pre-recording will be this weekend (Wish me luck!) and it will be broadcast on Wednesday, December 29th 3-5pm EST. The link to Mark's blog and how to listen to the broadcast is http://www.marklipinski.com/ .

I have had the opportunity to talk with Mark at the last two quilt markets and I am really looking forward to the interview. Here are some photos from quilt market.

What's next?

Have a busy weekend coming up. I have the honor of being really good "friends" with Mrs. Claus and will be attending a Santa's Breakfast at our local grade school on saturday morning.

This will be followed by a secret event I can't reveal just yet.....so stay posted. I will then go over to Karen's Quilt & Craft Connection as the celebrity quilter for demonstrations and book signings. Karen's shop is in Barnesville, Ohio and they will be having their Christmas parade and other holiday events.

On Sunday I have the privilege to do a book signing at Walden's Book Store in the Ohio Valley Mall in St. Clairsville, Ohio.

Then later this week I will be a "friend" with Mrs. Claus again for storytime at the school library for the Kindergarten and first grade classes.

I will do my best to keep up with the blog, photos, and details on the secret event!

Still catching up

Well now that the family and friends have come and gone (except for my daughter who is leaving on December 19 to do missionary work in Uganda....another long story) I am still trying to play catch up for the last month.

I am posting pictures from my "Square-agonals" 9-Patch Table Runner class that was held at the "From Past To Present" Quilt shop in St. Clairsville, Ohio. We had so much fun and you can see what a great job the ladies did on their projects. The class has been so successful that it is going to be repeated again on January 24th.

I Have A Notion

While at Houston Market I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Jackson of "I Have A Notion" blog. Not only was she a delight to talk with, but she loved my new quilt technique and book "Square-agonals; A New Angle on Quilting".
