Podcast #220 — It’s Spring and it’s time to quilt!
These two new books, by Laura Zander and Jimmy Beans Wool with a foreward by Deborah Norville. It’s time to think about being Heart Healthy. Each designer who contributed a project for the books has a personal story and tips for being heart healthy. Sew Red has contributions by Anna Maria Horner, Sweetwater, Tula Pink, Amy and David Butler, Valori Wells, and the list goes on.
I love both of these books! Plus, Red is my favorite color ; )
Where Women Create magazines now has WWC Business! Fantastic for anyone who owns a business, wants to own their own business or has dreams and aspirations of one day owning their own business. I love these Spring Issues, filled with more than the covers show.
Here’s the link to the podcast interview with Jo Packham.
In Where Women Cook, I was inspired by the story of Laurie Rubin.
In Where Women Create, I discovered the Texas Quilt Museum, in La Grange, TX. Here’s the link to the podcast interview with Karey Bresenhan.
In WWC Business, I was so happy to find the story of Bunnies By The Bay and find that they are still thriving.
I mentioned that I will do some LIVE classes on Google Plus Hangout in May, on how to create handmade Quilt Journals. I will post all of the information tomorrow in a Blog post, so all of the details are separate and don’t get lost in this blog.
Here’s a photo of my “Kaffe collection” for a new patchwork skirt. I’ll post a photo when it’s done.
If you want the pattern, just click on the tab at the top of the page that says SKIRT.
Do you remember this quilt?
I call this my “Red, Pink, Blue and Green quilt”. It’s at least 10 years old and I’m working on the applique border of it. Here are some photos, “in progress”…
My favorite book:
“If you really want to do something, no one can stop you, but if you really don’t want to do something, no one can help you.” James A. Owen
Here are some more wedding pictures:
Cambria, thinking that Kirsten looks like a Princess ; )

Josh and Kirst , dancing with the “little girls”
Cambria, with the Wedding Minnie Mouse ears — she was dying to try those things on all night! a friend got the perfect snapshot — a priceless photo.
I’ll post more later — there are over 500 photos ; )
