When I last wrote it was mid March and the weather was cool and wet........today being June 1st the weather is STILL cool and wet!!!! ENOUGH already!!! Shades of green are still very vivid here.
Our daffodils have bloomed and passed and the blossoms are fading. Our strawberry crops are late in ripening and sounds like it will be close to Father's Day before they are ready.
During all the time that has gone by since March, I have been busy, busy, busy, working on new patterns and going to and from International Quilt Market in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Pumpkin Patch Jack
Mistletoe Magic
Kissing Ball Mat
Christmas Postage
A Wooly Good Year BOM
Preperation for Market includes so much of so many things.....I was blessed by so many this year who stepped in to help me in every little way!!! A big thank you to my sister Jan who came and stayed with me for almost a month....stitching away....bagging....tagging....and house/puppy sitting for us while we were gone!!!

I know the girls from my shoppe purchased from you. Cannot wait to see which ones they came back with!! Love postage stamp project and all the mistletoe projects.
Wow, and I thought I was the only one that had my house taken over right before a show (like it is right now)! I leave next Thursday for a big show. I sent an order to you, I hope you got it. Making your samples now. And you know how samples sell!
Friends that come over to help are the best!
Hi Debbie, So good to see you at Market. Love how everything has taken over your house. I think I could move in and feel quite comfortable with all your wool and fabulous samples! Keep up the wonderful work.
What wonderful new goodies you had. If I lived closer I'd be right there helping you too...looks like soooooooo much fun!
Lovin the Pumpkin Patch Jack so much. Everythin' in the pictures seemed like wonderland. They are lovely and gorgeous.
I love your new patterns - especially the Halloween one. I look forward to stitching them! Pretty soon the triplets will be able to stitch samples for you.
Debbie Great Class Love the learning to work with WOOL, see you next weekend. Tami
