I had a lovely time with the ladies in both Brandon and Punta Gorda, FL, even considering that I had a cold and sinus infection. That said, it's nice to be home. Believe it or not, my ears did un-stuff on the plane ride home!

I have come home to a pile of work and a happy husband. I'm feeling better – life is good. 

I wanted to share this blog post written by Alethea Ballard. She wrote a really nice post about how she used our book to applique outside the lines. Her quilt, below, is in her post. 

I love seeing how people use our patterns and ideas to make their own quilts. That's why we do what we do. Happy stitching!
