The New Year 2011

Well here we go again, like most of you, I hope for a safe, prosperous, and exciting new year.

To start off the year I plan on dropping bits of life advice (not my own) and quotes to inspire you as life and the year goes on. This is my favorite quote:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW! what a ride!"

Start the year with a positive outlook and keep in touch!

Book Signing at Theresa's

To finish out the year I will be at Theresa's Fabrics in Moundsvillle, WV this afternoon for a book signing. This is part of Theresa's annual end of the year big sale, lots of good buys on fabric. I will be there by 12:30 and will stay till 3 or so.....stop in to see what's for sale and say hello!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all!

Well did anyone out there listen to the Creative Mojo radio show? I sounded better than I remembered, would love some feedback from other than my family.....they tend to be good to me (gotta love em)!

Happy New Year to all of you!

Christmas Present - Blog Interview!

I received a wonderful Christmas Present late last night, I had done a blog-interview with the Sew Journal Blog and it was posted to their site! Munaiba Khan from Australia writes a very interesting blog and she asked me to do an interview for her. She is also giving away an autographed copy of my book. This is one blog you need to add to your favorites list!

Thank you Munaiba for the review and comments!

Happy Holidays!

Just want to say thank you to all of you who view my blog, especially you dedicated "followers". I appreciate your interest and patience as I figure out where I and my blog will be going.

My success for my book has been beyond my expectations these last few months and that success has given me confidence to go further. I hope to see continued success and I have a lot of interesting things planned and some interesting ventures to try.

I hope all of you have an enjoyable holiday season, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

PS - Next wednesday (December 29) will be my interview on Mark Lipinski's Creative Mojo radio show. I will be reminding you and giving you details.

Book Signings

I had the privilege of doing a book signing at Waldenbooks in the Ohio Valley Mall , St. Clairsville, Ohio. It was a busy day at the mall and I had a great time!

Here are some photos from my book signing at Karen's Craft & Quilt Connection in Barnesville, Ohio earlier this month. It is a lovely shop full of quilt samples. I will be teaching classes there in January.

Quilters Cookbook

Just received my online copy of the Quilters Cookbook Volume 2. It is a lovely collection of recipes from quilters along with photos of quilt projects and stories. I had submitted my recipe for "Homemade Irish Creme" along with a photo of my daughters memory quilt and a little story about it. Click on the title of this entry to go to the link.
