Hello again quilters!!!  The holidays are over and it's back to the normal every day quilt world things.  I will be doing the program for the Brownwood Quilters Guild on Tuesday and my first show of the year will be the last weekend of the month in Jefferson.  Of course I want new samples and instead of working on them during the non-show season, I am doing them at the last minute.  I did have a couple of friends help me with the piecework, but now to get them quilted and keep on track with my customer quilts!

Look on the home page later this week for a special announcement about a quilt shop in Austin, Texas!!!  I'm under the "confidential" law until tomorrow, so mums the word until then, but I can tell you it's an exciting event!

I'm changing the home page up some, again, and adding a quilting slide show.  Hopefully, I will be efficient enough to change it weekly, but my goal is to feature the customer quilts that I have quilted each week, so there should be something new to see every week!

Heading off to bed, so that I can get up early and make the trip to Austin in the morning for the Amazing Announcement!!!  Until next time, take time to stitch! - Angela

Took my son and his family to the airport today, another year and visit too qickly ended!!  I already miss that sweet grandbaby girl.  I'll get to see her again soon thiugh since we will be going to her house in March to greet her new baby sister!!!

Got home from the airport trip and stripped the beds, did the laundry, cleaned the house and caught up on about 4 hours of work that had been let unattended while the family was here.  I'm tired!!!!  Back to quilting the customer quilts tomorrow, I haven't quilted in a week and I' having withdrawals!!!  It will be good to introduced myself to my machine again!!!!

Until next time,take time to stitch!!!

Another year has come and gone and it went so quickly!!!!  I remember my parents always telling me that the older I got the faster time would fly, and they were right!!!  I want to thank each one of you for helping me stay in business this year and allowing me to do for a living what I love!!!  I look forward to another great year in 2012 and I hope you all enjoy the club activities!!!!  Pictured below are my husband and I with all of our kiddos & their babies.  Have a happy and blessed New Year and until next time, happy quilting!!!!!

I can't believe December is here and Christmas is just around the corner and I'm still, as usual, NOT READY!!!!

The Challenge winner is posted on the home page and the club page, congratulations to Sherri Marshall from Blanket, Texas!!!  Winner of the $75.00 gift certificate!!!

I have added some new sale fabrics to the club page and information about a Block of the Month program just for club members that will start in January, with a winning prize of Free Quilting or $100 gift certificate!!!  Should be fun, and it will get one block of the month program finished!!!

New fabrics have been uploaded and new books, so many things, so little time!!! It's the Christmas crunch time for me right now and lot a lot of time for breathing, but I am looking forward to the week after Christmas will I will be closed for the holidays and spending time with my family!

I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful Christmas season!  Until next time, happy quilting!

Isn't it wonderful!!! Cooler temperatures AND rain!!!!!  We were in such a need for rain and we received 4.6 inches here in the big city and hopefully we'll get some more!

If you saw last month's tutorial on the EZ Dresden, below is a picture of Vita's block and a table runner I made using this ruler.  Really pretty and fun to make!
