Congratulations! This is very exciting. I can see why you would be bubbling. I know the folks will be inspired and enjoy your speaking to them. I am sort new here so please tell where we can purchase your pattern/s? I would love to see and order.

Can someone tell me whether there is an easier way to make an applique quilt than TRACING all the pieces. I'm making several blocks from McKenna Ryan's patterns & the most tedious part is tracing the patterns onto fusible interfacing. If that's the only way to do it, I will continue but if someone has a better way, I'd like to hear it!! Thanks!

She asked me if I would consider going to Joplin and be their guest speaker at their quilt guild meeting on Oct 19th!!!!! So, I am!!!
She said that she thinks I'd be a good inspiration to the quilters there and she would love to know what possessed me to enter a national competition, especially since I haven't quilted very long! Plus, she's amazed that I made my own pattern to sell too. I told her that the contest was recommended to me by a friend here on the quilting board. She also gets on here, but said she just reads it. She would like me to tell people about this website too, as it is great! I am going to ask Admin to make sure that it is alright. I don't see why it wouldn't be though.
Can you believe this??? I couldn't!!! I had to get on the phone and call all my friends and family to tell them. I'd just called to let them know that I made it to the next round the day before! I'm probably NOT going to like my phone bill next month! LOL I am also going to be compensated for coming!
So! How's that for some interesting news? Thanks for voting for me and all the support and positive feedback I get on here! I really appreciate it! Thanks too for listening!
Happy Quilting!
