Well the weather is wrecking havoc with my teaching schedule this month!  I am in the process of canceling and/or rescheduling all my classes for the rest of the month.  Please check back here for updates later today!

Thought for the day!

Here comes the snow!

What a winter, trying to catch up on computer work and watching the heavy snow coming down, we are supposed to get 3 to 6 inches by morning.....good time to stay in and sew.   What would you do if stuck at home for a few days?

Getting Ready!

Now that the holidays are over, decorations put away, and the kids are where they need to be (my son at Veterinariay school in Alabama and my daughter doing volunteer work in Uganda), I am getting ready for my cruise!  I have received all the fabric I need, the batting donated by The Warm Company, and the thread donated by Aurifil.

The cruise is 8 days through the western Caribbean and should be a lot of fun and sun.  My quilt project is "Caribbean Sunset" made with batiks.  I will be sure to show the design after the cruise along with plenty of photos.

There is still time to sign up!

And a big thanks to Jim West of Sew Many Places for this dream of an opportunity!

Fight for your dreams in 2011

"Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born"

If you haven't done any dreaming yet this year, set aside some time to explore possibilities and commit yourself to new opportunities. It's never too late to dream.
....adapted from the book "Put Your Dream to the Test" by John C. Maxwell

Dreams can be small or big, just dream and they can come true.

Write down your dreams, they can come true.

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!
