The 2017 Quilter's Planner is now on Pre-Sale!

Each Month has a weekly spread with a different FREE quilt block pattern,

And my block Parisian Tiles is the first week of September and in ALL of the print ads! Woo!

You can tailor the Planner to suit your needs.

There is a daily top three to help you keep on track,

Each page has TO-Do lists and Notes, for Quilting, Work, and Personal Life!

Each Month also has it's own full view calendar,

In addition, there are Projects at a Glance sheets, so handy for those of us with Quilter's ADD!

And, there are also Project Planning Pages where you can plan your projects and keep track of your designs!

AND, there are graph paper and quilting practice pages!!

I have to honestly tell you, the Quilter's Planner has saved my bacon on more than one occasion! It SO helps with the Quilter's ADD :) You can keep family, work, and quilting or craft projects in order of importance and organized so that you can get to everything, without having multiple planners or notebooks. And, this year, there is a mini planner that you can take on the go!!! Sign me up!!

So, as if all of that good in one place wasn't enough, you also get FREE patterns from world famous designers, right in the planner, and Quilter's references as well!!

Check out the quilt that got me started in Modern Quilting, Christa Watson's Chevrons! Free in the Quilter's Planner!

Finish It Up Friday! Woo!

Granny Square Quilt and Other Fabulous WIPs

It's WIP Wednesday!! And time to share a little more of what has been going on since my return to the sewing room and making. Woohoo!!! 

We've had our first snowfalls, and the most recent one has stuck around, so we've been out every day playing and rolling in it!! 

The days are still just shy of 12 hours, and we have night again. The night is Cold enough to nip your cheek, and just right for taking walks and stargazing. Don't peek in the neighbors windows!! They haven't gotten used to the dark yet, and haven't learned to close their blinds again with this new season ;) 

I'm finishing quilting the Granny Squares Quilt. It's nice to spend some time each day, working on each project, in succession... First this, 

Then This ( the quilt! Not the guy!! Well, he sure doesn't hurt;)

Then, This...

Since I put the Bikini Quilt into a leaders and enders position, I have really been booking along with it. Soon, my lovelies!!

And, finally, THIS...

I moved the Sewing Room over into this guy's room...

Because he's doing an internship in LA and job hunting. So very proud of him!! He and his girlfriend, Madison, are really taking great care of themselves and their budgets, even though they are on 

opposite sides of the continent. You go, kids!!!!! We've got their backs, but they haven't even needed it:)

But the real reason I moved my sewing room across the hall, was to have room for my desk and work area in the same place as I sew. Because...

I am writing a book!!!!!

Are you so excited??!!

I am!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Now, I don't usually go to Nora Roberts for life advice, but she sure has nailed it.

And if I can do it, so can you!!!

So, I urge you, TODAY, to step out of your comfort zone and take a step towards one of your dreams. 

You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!

XX!
