I challenge you!

This morning, I don't have the time necessary to properly describe my wonderful weekend with Bonnie Hunter, but I do have the time to say this:

I bought Tonya's Word Play Quilts book from Bonnie during the workshop, and had a chance to read it cover to cover yesterday. I challenge ANYONE to read that book and NOT run right to your sewing machine and start sewing! It's so fun and inspiring! So, of course, the first chance I had, I ran right to my sewing machine and started sewing...

I'm working on a Pay It Forward gift for a high school friend a reconnected with on Facebook who is constantly posting about how much she adores her little daughter, Ella. I haven't seen this friend for over 20 years, but I figure I can't go wrong with a gift for/about her daughter. And how exciting to finally cut into my Urban Circus fat quarters!

More about my weekend when I have more than 5 minutes to sit still. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!!!

My sister gave me that book for my birthday. It's a good one.

I'm not at all surprised that you have started something already from the new book! It was so good to see you Friday and Saturday. I'll be blogging about the weekend too - maybe by tonight. Hope all the students got there without any more hitches.

I don't dare get that book or I'd have to go out and get first a machine and then a table to put it on and then a bigger house for the table... Love what you have made and look forward to all the workshop info.
