What better day to start writing a blog than the first time an article about me as a quilter appears in print!

This year (2009) has so far been an amazing journey. January saw the demise of the investment club that was providing about 80% of my income. What an eye-opener that was! It did cause me to get really clear about my purpose in life:

I create beauty, inspiration and infinite creative joy!

It certainly seems to be true that when you know what you are here to do, the Universe opens up in amazing ways.

January saw the birth of Jewels in Chocolate, a quilt I made to enter in the 2009 Arizona Quilters Guild Annual Show. It eventually won 2nd place in the Machine Embroidery Category. In February I became a Travelling Teacher for the Arizona Quilters Guild, and have since taught for chapters in Wickenberg, Coolidge, Kingman, Kearney, Litchfield Park and several in Phoenix. In April, I started teaching at Sew from the Heart, my local Bernina dealer here in Scottsdale, and also at 3 Dudes Quilting, my now favorite quilt store in south Phoenix. In May I was given a heaven sent opportunity to attend International Quilt Market in Pittsburgh, PA. This led to several introductions, and an invitation for Jewels in Chocolate and another of my new creations, Heather Feather aka the ‘Be You’ Quilt, to be showcased in the Brewer booth at Bernina University in San Francisco in June.

That brings me to today – the first time that an article about me as a quilter has ever appeared in print! It’s on page 6 of the August edition of Brewer Advantage, the monthly newsletter of Brewer Quilting and Sewing Supplies which is distributed to Bernina dealers and quilt shops across the USA.

So… Thanks Brewer! This is definitely the start of something new
