Daisy of "Very Lazy Daisy Quilts":

  *Binding size - I converted from 2 1/2 inch to 2 1/4 inch. I don't think I can go any lower. How low 
  can you go?

Goodreads: Audio Books

  Between Heaven and Texas (Marie Bostwick)
     Why can't seem to remeber the title

  Divergent (Recommend)-Love the book, now to see the movie!
  

  Voyager (3rd book, Outlander series)-Enjoying it so far! Why wouldn't I? Can't wait until the series 

     start.

Bonus:

BTW, I am playing with my embroidery module, "INTH Key Fobs". My current software is not supported by Windows 8. I have 3D, 6D is the current version. I didn't want to pay the $$$ for the new 

version. Soooo, after some research, I purchased a downloadable software version. The software is called "Embird". I will say, it has a learning curve associated with it. More to come on my work with Embird.

Until next time.......

Resisting Temptation

I's' been a minute since I last posted. TQP #14 is up and ready.

First things first, the MidAtlantic Quilt Festival start this week. If you are in the area, stop by and say hello. Several podcasters, Sandy, Tanesha, Pam, Frances, along with myself are having a meet up. Meet us at the waterfall around 1130.

If you listenen to my podcast, you know that I will be starting a fabric diet starting the 1st of March. Well, I was advised to start now and not wait. (Nonnie) Can't do that!!! The quilt festival is this weekend. How can I start a fabric diet and attend a quilt festival. It's not humanly possible to be that good. So, born was the title of the podcast and post, "Resisting Temptation".

*Jodi, the puppy, is growing fast. He has gone from 2.9 lbs to 6.6 lbs. I am glad that he is getting along with his brother. Here are pictures of both. I apologize that the pics are not great quality, but they would not be still.
