    1. Thanks, Yvonne. This blog hop has been great. I was sad and really discouraged in the past few weeks because of my mom's passing, but Stephanie has been so supporting that I decided to stay put to the end. Thanks to you and everyone in the group.

    1. Thanks, Deb, for stopping by. I hope to get to know you more in the future. Who knows, maybe we'll get to visit your farm and buy your jam one day!! Wouldn't that be great? I would love for you to see my blog about making jam that I posted in Nov. of last year and let me know what you think. If you have time, that is... :)

  11. Wow, you are one prolific and varied gal! I like that! I bet you are an awesome teacher with such passion. Congrats on both being in a magazine as well as getting a book published!! As for teaching, I found it didn't even matter if my students were 18 years old and in grade 12, they would do anything for treats!

    1. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for everything. I was really down last few weeks, but through your support, I was able to stay to the end. I'll be honor to have you as a friend. Now that I'm back home, literally, my flight landed a few hours ago, I hope to get back to sewing again. This blog hop has been so great for me in more ways than one. Thanks to you and the rest of the group. I truly hope to get to know each and everyone of you better. Take care.

  14. That Starburst quilt would make me happy (and crave some candy) every time I looked at it also! I am in love with the floral clutch you made. The fabric selection pair with the pattern make for one yummy clutch!
