This week, I talk about recovering from a 3 day migraine, my experience as a driver during the 1996 Olympics (and why that relates to last week’s podcast), FMQing, the virtual Stitch-In on Friday night, and some last minute book reviews.

Listened to the podcast …. enjoyable as per usual … hope to make the STITCH IN tonight but depends if GdS stays over or not…
THERE is a blog that is featuring various authors and pattern designers on how to produce and sell patterns. I posted a link in the TWILTERS a while back… I will repost to you if I find it again…. I know I put it into FEEDLY.
GYLEEN FITZGERALD was featured on THE QUILT SHOW in the past … she is known for scrappy pineapple quilts and developed a template for her process.
I too have an old car. 2002. It too has a glorious cassette tape player where I suppose a CD player should be. The good news is that all is not lost on the bluetooth front. My computer engineery husband hooked my car up with a…what’s the word…off brand, no…off market, no…you know, the thing you put in the car that wasn’t made for the car….anyway. A bluetooth thing. So now I can play my itunes from my phone, through my speakers. He even hooked up a microphone so I can talk on the phone hands free. If you want the info I can get it from the man. I used to just listen to my podcasts in the car through the phone speaker, less than ideal, as I imagine your head phone solution may be.
I love the idea about listening to The Stitch. Thanks for that.
Thanks for the mention of my QAL

Thank you for putting the Stitch audio into your podcast feed. My first preference would be to watch, but I am at least 2 episodes behind and I fear I will just keep getting further behind.
I loved your story about driving for the Olympics. What a cool experience for you to be a part of! I’ve always been a little Olympic crazed
I am doing the new Scrapitude mystery, but I am still working on cutting. In fact, the cutting instructions had me so locked up that I haven’t done anything in my sewing room since before Christmas! I did a little mini shophop yesterday, and that got my energy going again, so I’m tackling the cutting so I can do that and move on to other projects! I’m sure the quilt will be beautiful, but it was a lot to get going….
Have a great week, Pam!
