I had no idea that so much time passed since my last post. I can see how blogs will get created, and then peter out! I am going to declare this blog an inconsistent one for the moment. I will write as the mood strikes. I notice that if I'm busier at work, I have less energy to want to communicate in other ways, and so thoughts of self-expression don't come as easy. This week I'm off with my daughter for spring break, and I think I'm finally relaxing (just in time to get back to it tomorrow!).
I am not sure how to get my pics up to the site - so that may be longer in coming.
I'm super impressed with what other people are able to do with their blogs and especially podcasts! I listen to a variety - but have just found a brand new one today that I am already in love with: Laura's 'Sewing Mom' podcast (http://sewingmompodcast.com/ ). Hope this link works. I especially loved that she talked about having been a quilter for a long time, and doing it just because she loves it. I'm so glad to hear her talking about the same kinds of things I am still struggling with (1/4 inch seams, ruler slippage, etc). She was great company for my sewing corner this morning.
Anyway, other podcasts that keep me company: American Patchwork and Quilter 'Radio' with Pat Sloan; Quilt Cast with Amy Ellis and April; Quilting for the Rest of Us with Sandi Hasenauer; Quilt Cabana with Sandy Coldwell. I know I have listened to others, but these are the ones that I've spent time with recently. They are terrific inspiration, and just good company.
On a final note - I've been working on a quilt for myself that I have just decided that I am gifting to a friend with a chronic illness. She has recently been struggling more, and there is nothing that can be really said to take the pain of that away. But I thought this quilt might give her some comfort, and I just found out that the colors are something that she would likely enjoy. It gives me even more impetus to get moving on it!
