I bet you thought I forgot, didn’t you? Well, I sorta did, but not really. Mostly it has been nagging at the back of my mind, poking me every so often to tell me that I was supposed to have already announced and sent the book off to the winner of the Modern Quilt Perspectives […]
It’s finally here, the book that Thomas told me he would someday write way back when we first met at Quilt Market. Houston in 2011, right, Thomas? I’d already fallen for his first collection, Pear Tree, and its lovely muted colors (the same just-off hues that would sucker me into every TK collection). We’d talked online

If you know me, you know I’ve been lacking in the “partner who adores me” category for most of my life. Nearly fifteen years since my divorce has left me…fine, I’ll admit it, slightly bitter about the whole idea of love. But this man makes me believe that there are couples who will really, truly,

I bet you thought I forgot all about the giveaways, didn’t you? But it’s not true! I remembered, I just haven’t had much time to get to actually posting thanks to a bout of the icks that have hit our little household. With people sick at my work and at her school, it was bound
