The coolest thing happened to me today – I was asked to speak at a local quilt guild, and THEY’LL PAY ME! Sure, it isn’t a huge amount, but I love public speaking and I love quilting and I love drafting quilt patterns, so to get paid for doing all three is just beyond fabulous. They would like me to talk about my process for designing and writing quilt patterns, so I need to do a little preparation. I need to make handouts, and I need to finish the quilt I’m currently working on, and I need to have plenty of patterns printed, and I need to collect some quilt samples, and…
Boy, I’d better get busy.
Piecemeal Quilts 
How exciting! What lucky ladies to get to have you and your quilting mind all to themselves!

Congratulations! You will have to let us know how it goes. I have enjoyed seeing your patterns on the blog.
I’ve had that happen a couple of times too…each time I can’t help think…”who me…little old me?” But when they hand you a bit of money that you know you could spend on fabric or the like…it’s a really good feeling ;o)
