I went to Spring Green, Wisc. for the Boxwood and Berries Gathering at the Country Sampler in Spring Green, Wisc. with my two friends Pat (Bits and Pieces) and Karrie (no-blog), what a great time we had. This is our class picture,

there were forty girls, from all over the USA. We had wonderful teachers, Maggie Bonanomi, Stacy Nash and the Blackbird Design girls, Alma Allen and Barb Adams.

From right to left, Pat, me, Karrie and two new friends, Bonnie and Sherry.

Hello Blog Land

2008-07-01T20:30:00.000-04:00

I have finally set up a blog page, with a lot of help from my best friend Pat (Bits and Pieces). I would be totally lost without her. We spent most of the day with her showing me how to set it up and when I got home I still had to call her for help. We had a lot of fun and did some stitching afterwards. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures of projects I am working on (Dear Jane Quilt, Bless This House BOM ). without any problems, keep your fingers crossed I can make this work or you know who will be getting a call.
