Pattern Peddlers
My first distributor! Woo Hoo! I am really looking forward to this ‘relationship’ and the prospect of generating more buyers for my patterns. I believe that there are aspects of any business now-a-days that should be passed on to others . . . . promoting and distributing patterns is a definite plus for me! Just…

The Shop Ladies
They’re here! I’m so excited to offer these little Ladies to quilters, AND the apron was a last minute add on. I’m thinking that it will be a BIG hit, especially since aprons seem to be an ‘in’ thing with quilters recently. Anyway, I’m half way through the marketing process for the Shop Ladies; first…

Hickory Run State Campground
Our first camping trip of the season, AND surprise, surprise, it didn’t rain! It is so wonderful when we can set-up and take-down when everything is dry. Of course we appreciate this because we know what it’s like to do these activities in the RAIN! Hickory Run Campground is located in the Pocono Mountains of…

Monte
My dear, little Monte passed away this weekend. He didn’t like most things in life, except John and me, and sitting in the window and on our laps. That was fine with us, because we loved him just the way he was. He had a tough beginning, starting out on the streets of Binghamton, NY…

Squirrels and moles
What is more irritating? Moles in my garden or squirrels on the bird feeder? Equal PIA’s in my opinion! Should I buy (very expensive) mole bait, or go the ‘natural’ route, and pour castrol oil down their tunnels? Of course there’s the Caddy Shack way, dynamite! Yeah, that’s what I’m talkin’ about! Ok, I’ll try…

Anything with a “Q”
Yup, I will definitely stop at ALL quilt shops (at least once) But I also stop at any shop with a "Q" in it. Guess what? That includes antiQue shops! Hubby understands about stopping at all quilt shops, but he usually just ‘tolerates’ the antique shop, just another reason why the female and male species…

A Colonoscopy? What? Me?
Ok, I know it must be done, after all, anyone over fifty, blah, blah, blah. And it’s not as if I ever had one before, so I really shouldn’t judge the experience on what others say. HOWEVER, the ‘day before’ part doesn’t sound all that pleasant. Oh well, I’ll keep in mind what one of…

Mama Mia
I love the movie Mama Mia! Netflix ‘recommended’ it to me, and so glad they did. Didn’t know it was a musical, (you will NOT enjoy it if you DON’T like musicals), but the songs are by ABBA, so you can’t go wrong! Of course, I bought my own copy already, hope it doesn’t wear…

Minnesota Trip
Back from Minnesota and I can’t say enough about the beautiful time I had! Weather was wonderful, warm to cool (great for hiking, kayaking, quilt shop hopping, etc), the resort was absolutely gorgeous (views from the main living area were the best), and I loved being with my family for a WHOLE WEEK! We stayed…

“Stuffers” “Testers” . . . . . . “FRIENDS”
I am a very fortunate person; I have Stuffers and Testers! I can’t imagine anyone other than FRIENDS taking on these jobs, but that’s just what my Quilter friends do for me, and I appreciate every single one of them! This morning they "Stuffed" patterns into the clear hanging bags; ten minutes and over 20…
