Tuesday evening at 'That Alpine Group' quilt night, Kim and I were talking about the "blessings" of blogging and how we've "met" so many fabulous women that we would never have the chance to know otherwise. I am constantly impressed by the caliber of talent and character that I associate with via blogging. I'm so grateful for all of you.

I confess I sewed most of Saturday. When I have a complete day to sew I like to watch old movies I have DVRed. I don't watch closely mind you. I'm sewing! But I listen and steal glances as I cut out and sew. I can't think of many better ways to spend a Saturday. It was relaxing and I got quite a bit accomplished.

Last week before dashing out of town to southern Utah for a mini vacation, I participated in an event sponsored by Utah Valley Quilt Guild. They invited local women in our area to come and briefly talk about our businesses and showcase our patterns/products.

Karen and Tricia made a special effort to be there to support me. Thanks girls!
