This is my 100th post. All the updating about redoing my studio has gotten me here alot faster than I thought. I started this blog in 2006 when I was working on my challenge quilt for the Village Squares Quilters show. The challenge quilt was Underwater Maddness. It was alot of fun working on it and by starting this blog I was able to share this fun project with my daughters who live over 3,000 miles away from me.
The blogging world has also helped me feel more connected with my extended family and friends. I have also found many fun sites that I love to read and see what quilting adventures others are working on.
This past week-end I completed the design for the newest in my line of Hexabags. I am teaching a workshop in Connecticut in October and wanted an easier (less folded hexagons) project. (See some of the other Hexabags on the past posts.) With this new project (only 2 folded hexagons) I think that most of the students should go home with a completed hexabag at the end of the workshop.
