Can you say...life really gets away from you?? And mine seems to do that on a regular basis. My grandmother used to say "Man plans...God laughs"...I'm beginning to believe. I have had so many plans for the last year, and they all just got away from me. So...no more plans. I'm just going to take it day by day...do as much as I can...and not promise anything until I'm sure I can keep up with it.

I have a lot of quilts floating in my head, and I've started working on some of my UFOs. I would like to complete at least a few of them...at some point in time. I still haven't tried my quilting frame and machine...but I'm getting closer. Now, all I need to do is find the time!

Weekend Whatever Mystery : We're up to the start of WW#22...seems like just yesterday I created my first mystery, but it's almost 11 years. This one is a very simple block with a classic layout. I hope my little "twist" will make it fun. I designed it scrappy (I'm learning to like scrappy!), but you can do it controlled, if you'd rather. The mystery weekend itself will run Saturday, March 1, to Sunday, March 2. The General Information page has just been posted! Hope you will join us!

BOM : I have all kinds of good intentions where it comes to BOMs, but life just doesn't stay out of the way as much as need to really work on this. So...I did something different. I volunteered to be one of the designers on a BOM project called "Simplicity" for the Cotton Spice website. There is a new block being posted on the 15th of every month...mine was posted on December 15th. It looks like it might be a fun project. The fabrics they sent me are wonderful! Check it out by clicking on the graphic below...and while you are there, check out the rest of the website...

For those who have been with me for a while, do you remember the "Quiltaholics Anonymous" pins that I had a few years back? Well, they've been redesigned and I have them for sale again. I just have to get my camera working to take a picture and they will be up for sale. Give me a week...this I promise!

Please continue to put "Quiltaholics" as part of the subject when sending me email. I am getting so much spam mail that I may miss something I need to address...and I'd hate to miss anything you send me. If you don't hear from me within a week, please send the email again because it probably got caught in a junk mail clean out.

Well...we topped 1500 on the "announcement list", but since I'm not adding a lot of new stuff...we lost a few quilters. I guess I'm going to have to do something about that. If you would like to get notified when I do updates, please click on the icon...then follow the directions on yahoogroups.com to get added. If anyone has trouble with this, please let me know.

I'm still contemplating a face lift for the site...just haven't figured out what to do with it yet. If anyone has a suggestion...I'm open. And I keep trying to catch up on all the updates...problem is, as soon as I think they're all done, you keep sending me more! Wonderful!!! Keep me busy please...

As always, please email me with any suggestions, or comments. I love hearing from everyone who visits.

May all your loved ones be safe and happy in these troubled times.        

p.s...how many remember the "Quiltaholics Anonymous" pins I had a while back...well I have them again! They're different this time, so buy another one even it you bought the original. I'll be posting them as soon as I find my camera and take a picture of them...stay tuned...
