I received a new show and tell email that I get to share with you.

Janet Elia says:

About a year ago I requested and you granted permission for me to submit my version of Aunt Millie’s Garden in AQS Quilt week shows …. well my “Funky Garden on Red” has done well for herself! I’ve attached a picture of my quilt with her Paducah Ribbon!

JanetElia-AuntMillieAt The Gathering in NH she received a Second place on Overall Craftsmanship, 2014 AQS Chattanooga an Honorable Mention, and in the 2015 AQS Paducah show a Third Place in Large Bed Home Machine Quilting!!

I am tickled pink… or rather Red!! and want to Thank you for creating a wonderful pattern that so many have enjoyed making! Love the all-blue quilt you posted last week – that’s a stunner!

Thank you and keep creating beautiful patterns!

Linda and I both love seeing how you all use our patterns to make your quilts and this one is no exception. Janet, your quilt is lovely. Congratulations on the ribbons!

Answer the question, please…

When I filmed my episode for The Quilt Show, I was also asked several questions and was filmed as I answered. Several of you saw this quick video before I did. Click here to see me on the TQS site or you can watch below. I’m so happy that I came up with reasonable answers on short notice :-).

Members of The Quilt Show will be able to watch the new episode this August, in Episode 1704.

UPDATE: Several have asked about Edrica Huws. Doesn’t she look like someone you’d enjoy knowing?

I could write but honestly, you need to see photos of her most excellent work. Google ‘Edrica Huws’ and/or click here. I think the images will open for you. I’ve posted one of my favs below.

I made a video about the Color book a little while back and then promptly forgot to post it. I need another me to keep up with social media :-). At any rate, here it is! Let me know what you think.

Oh happy day!

Well, after hours of talking to tech support, and after waiting for the new site to show up on my own computer (after it showed up on other computers all over the place), the new pieceocake.com site works! If, as you click around, you find a problem, please do let me know. I’ll do my best to fix it.

Now I will share some pretty pictures with you that I took last Saturday morning at Gardenland, a most amazing local nursery. I was there on my 52 Week Photo Challenge assignment and I’ll be going back. What a great place to take photos—and to shop! That welcome sign is now hanging in my backyard :-).

I want this wagon wheel but am not sure where I’d put it. Steve loves the welcome sign but is less sure about the wheel.

Isn’t this a good edging idea? Although I have no idea where to find a lot of license tags.

There are lovely flowers at Gardenland and they just beg to be photographed.

I leave early Thursday morning to teach for the Pride of the Prairie Quilt Guild in the Chicago area. I hope the web site is running seamelssly by then, and that I can get my email sorted out. It’s a long story but changing the site changed my email. Sigh. Computers are great when they work and terrible when they don’t.

Oh, please let it work…

I’ve spent the last several days getting the new website up. I just talked to Register.com and http://www.pieceocake.com should soon connect to the new site that looks like this:

NewSiteHomepage

I gotta say that I should have done this a very long time ago. I think everyone, including me, is going to find the new site easier to use. That said, I’m still tweaking. In fact, I just realized I have not set up the About page. Sigh.

Once it’s up, if you click through and find problems, please do let me know. I’ve edited each of the 467 products at least 4 times. In some cases more. I suspect that there are errors. With your help I hope to find and correct them.

Soon, very soon, this task will be off my plate and I can quilt again! I just can hardly wait.
