Sending Joy....

....kindness, confirmation, encouragement, and lots of other good stuff, comes my way with your comments.  You all keep my little boat afloat!!!  Thank you! :-)

I have been sort of a crazy lady, trying to finish up some designs for the upcoming Quilt Market, which is to be held in Portland.  I will not be going, but need to get my patterns to the distributors who carry my patterns.  It is all fun and exhilarating.

I so miss when I cannot attend quilt group.  I missed this past time because of teaching.  Thankfully, Liz sent me the pictures so that I didn't entirely miss out.  Here Brittany is sharing the king size quilt she is making for a bed.  I love how that little black and white is scattered throughout the quilt, working it's magic.

Julie, is sharing her new modern quilt finish......it sparkles against the white.  I missed seeing those ladies.

Lorraine, is the accomplished needle point Extraordinaire in our group.

This creative bunch of women does it all.....beautiful croquet.

Leslie, is sharing her favorite new thing!  I have a Lap App, and it is my new favorite thing also.  It has certainly been a big help for my hand sewing.  I usually do not fall for gadgets, but this is on a whole different level of necessity!

Leslie, has also begun on her quilt from my new design.  One of my little quilt groups is working on this, so I will share the progress we make as we go along.

And this is so pertinent at this time, everything that a month ago seemed dead, is now coming to life.......it is so thrilling to watch.
