BooHoo - Lost some blog buddies

As of this morning, I can no longer get to WordPress blogs. Yup, my company has put them on a block list for "social networking". Some of my Favorites were:

Terri Watson's Thread Tales

Kay Peterson's My Olive Branch

Carla Barrett's Feathered Fibers

Gayle's Gallery

So when I take a break, I will not be checking in on these bloggers. That makes me sad. I love to see what new things people are trying. Because of blogs:

--I have made a Red Zinger selvage edge wall-hanging
--I am almost done with a Strip and Twist quilt
--I have the best recipe for Cream of Potato soups
--Learned that Madeira thread is better than MonoPoly and I just ordered Madeira thread.
--Signed up for a class in Sacramento given by Carla Barrett
--Working on a 9-patch plus a cute red flowered alternating block quilt seen on
Suzanne Earley's blog which is going thru some changes....hope she does not move
to wordpress. too.

I will try to check these blogs at night when I get home from work but it won't be the same. I guess that I will have to read a book during my lunch hour. Bummer.

Look at the Charmer


Danielle made this sweet quilt out of charms and put borders on it. Then she quilted it up in no time. You can see the Gammill Optimum Plus on a 12 foot table behind Danielle. She is working her way toward a show quilt.

Danielle Does It Again




Danielle is on fire now. She just started learning longarm quilting a short time ago. She is a natural and learns quickly.





My life has changed in the last couple of years - some bumps, I retired from quilting, and then I moved to Texas. I'm anxious to see what new adventures await me in the next phase of my life.
