Let's Twist Again

I am so far behind in everything right now!  I'm sure you can tell that from the date of the last blog I did.  I'm working on the patterns for my new book and not having a lot of luck with it as I keep getting interrupted by things like big orders to get out for the Twisters and trying to run the Quilt Shop along with the needs of my 90 year old mother.  I am going to a Quilt Retreat this weekend and am hopeful that I will be inspired to create and get done some samples and patterns as when I return home, my grandsons will be here for spring break along with their parents.  I can hardly wait to see them!  Now you understand why I need to have these patterns well under way.  They also need to be done and ready for the publisher by the 2nd week in April.  I think this will really be close....I'll try to keep you up to date on this.  As you may also have noticed I have no video done yet either or pictures.  I will try to keep you up to date as best I can.....wish me luck!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's been a while since I updated this, but my resolution is to stay caught up and expand the blog to include pictures and videos - I even bought a video camera to do this but haven't learned how to use it yet.  Did I mention how "un-techy" I am?  Twisters are still going strong - for 2 weeks we actually had some inventory and I could help out a couple quilt shops who couldn't get them.  Now we are rapidly getting orders out to distributors again, but we are hopeful to build some inventory too.  I have a distributor in Canada who I would like to help out if I can for our neighbors to the north.  I have also started my 2nd book.  I brought my box of samples from Moda down to KS with me while we were there having a late Christmas with our 4 grandsons, daughter and son-in-law.  The boys slept in one morning and parents were off to work, so I had about 2 uninterrupted hours that I really started to plot out some of my ideas with fabrics.  Now, I have to get these going by sewing samples and see if the ideas will actually work.  Other pattern makers are also putting out some patterns for the twister now and I find that very exciting.  So just "Keep Twisting"
