An "I'm Not Dead" Post
Really, I'm not -- just traveling for work, and really really busy, even more busy than usual!
So a few random items for you:
Kay sent this dress made from junk mail, very cool:
Also, I recently sent all my scraps away to have a quilt made (pictures soon, it is AWESOME), but I'm building them up again at a good clip, and when I have another bunch I'm planning to send them to a new quilting club in Corona, CA. Their goal is to make several quilts a month to be donated to charity. Their first projects are going to Quilts for Valor for wounded soldiers, but they will also be providing quilts for community health groups Corona, foster children, and the elderly. If you want to send your scraps as well, they can use any cotton, silk, velvet, or denim scraps of any size. Most of their quilts will be twin to lap size. (Don't forget that you can pack a flat rate box or envelope with as much as possible ...) They asked me to let you know that you can send your scraps to Jane Ellen Smith, 3192 Via Mazatlan, Corona, CA 92882
There was something else, which I can't remember, but while I'm trying to think of it, you could do a LOT worse than go read La Bastiole. She lives in France! She's really funny! She has twin teenage girls! She writes about roadkill, olive oil, and how to take your driver's license exam in French ... anyway, you will enjoy it. I promise.
