I think I wrote something about being back sooner than today. But as I've written to friends this past week, ideas, thoughts, to-do's and don't-forgets tend to spontaneously explode in the heat, leaving me with little puffs of smoke coming out of my ears.
That about covers it.
But I haven't forgotten the important things on my list.
Monday - June 25th at 4:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm CST - 2:00 pm MST - 1:00 pm PST ~ Tune into American Patchwork & Quilting Radio with Pat Sloan!
Who's on?
Two friends! Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. And Camille Roskelley of Thimbleblossoms and Planet Simplify.
And somebody else. Not sure who. But it will be entertaining to find out what might go wrong this time. The first time, the show's computer malfunctioned and the telephone call was dropped mid-way through the interview. The second time, there was competition from vacuum cleaners, doorbells and jets. What's left? Locusts? I suppose I should be happy that I'm not in Texas preparing for a visit from Debby.
Here's what Pat has to say about Monday's show!
Take 5! I've got books! Yes, books... as in two of them!
- Patti Wiggs - who wrote on Tuesday at 5:42 PM... Great to see more pictures of the quilts in Kathy's new book -- one worth adding to the book collection. Anxious to choose one to use five.
- Jen - who wrote on Tuesday at 3:51 AM... I already have a fabric in mind for the Stars pattern! What a great concept! I'd love to win a copy of that book!
Ladies, if you'll check your e-mail boxes, there should be an e-mail from me asking for your mailing addresses.
To everyone who left a comment - thank you. I appreciate it, and if I had books to give everyone, I would definitely do it because it is a terrific book - a worthy addition to any quilter's library. If you can't find it at your local quilt shop, or if you don't have a local quilt shop, you might want to check the Martingale website. E-books are on sale for $9.99 through Monday - June 25th. (I bought the e-book this weekend so that's why Jen is getting the copy Kathy sent me.)
Finally, since Mondays are the start of a new week, it's finally time for some new patterns. They'll be in the shop on Monday morning and I'll be back by Wednesday to tell you a little more about each one.
Really. Wednesday. Two days after today - Monday.
Unless it's hot and my head explodes. Or my computer.
See you on American Patchwork & Quilting Radio!
Same Pat-time! Same Pat-channel!
[Hehe Really, how many chances does anyone ever get to use that line?]
[I know. The answer is "too many".]
Oh My Goodness - That's my name! I won?!?! YAY! I guess I'd better get those fabrics out - I'm ready to start the stars! (And Pat recently asked how many UFO's we had and I said zero - well, now I have 3.... :( But it's well worth it!) Thanks!

Oh Carrie, I was headed for bed, by way of the computer, LOL...but I just had to stop and send you a bit {{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}, simply because you never fail to bring a smile to my face or make me laugh out loud. Thank you for that. Here's one more just for good measure, {{{HUG}}} *I know it's smaller, but my arms are tired after the first one*

You're hysterical! You always make me laugh. And, this year, that cartoon is working for us in the midwest too -- ouch!
