You found me! Uh, er, I found me ; ) Sorry I’ve been lost.
Here’s what I’ve been doing:
1. Making Christmas dresses for my sweet Granddaughters.
(Bonnie and Camille fabric for Moda — waaaaay not available anymore.)
2. Playing with Cambria, who loves cowboy boots and cowgirl hats.

3. Visiting friends and interviewing for a new podcast…
Lyric Kinard!
4. Teaching my friend how to make a quilt for her granddaughter’s wedding.
..
5. Teaching at Smoky Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge, TN
(Annie and Brenda from Conover, MS)
6. Making Easter dresses for my sweet Granddaughters.
(sorry – I can’t remember what these fabrics are. I used every scrap!)
7. shopping with Cambria.

8. Cambria loves sewing notions too, especially if she can wear them…
(I LOVE these Clover binding clips. No more pins or hair clips for me!)
9. Playing with fabric
(Kona Solids)
10. Playing with fabric…

(more Kona solids)
11. And playing with fabric at my favorite quilt shop, Thimble Pleasures

(even more Kona solids ; )
12. Visiting Kitty Hawk, NC and brand-new quilting friend, Anne Jacobson
(I feel like I actually, finally, finished my coast-to-coast road trip, as I drove to Anne’s from my son’s house — again, solo. It was a great experience!)
13. Saw my son’s band, Bryan Drive, play twice while I was on my teaching trip.

14. Saw Cambria dance to her daddy’s band

15. Lucy enjoyed it too…
(an old flannel imported quilt from Mervyn’s department store that Ryan just took a shining to, and took when he left home. Perfect for a picnic ; )
16. Playing with more fabric and teaching classes.

(Log cabin, Courthouse steps style)
17. Seeing Kirsten’s engagement ring…

18. Soon-to-be son-in-law, Josh’s second degree black belt demonstration, where he proposed to Kirsten…

19. Ready to get back to business…

Love, Annie











Well I, for one, am so glad you are back!
You have really been busy doing great and clever things and being with your two sweet granddaughters.
I can’t wait for a new podcast and seeing what other things you are up to.
Don’t keep us waiting to long OK?
Oh, and congratulations to Kirsten!
Her ring is beautiful!
I’m so glad to see you back, Annie. You’re looking thinner too! Congratulations to Kirsten.
Welcome back, Annie! We’ve missed you.
Missed you! Welcome back! Looks like lots of busy fun times!
I am glad to see you back but I can see you have a lot of wonderful things and family to fill your time lately.

Hi Annie
I’ve been thinking about you-busy times for all after The Artist Way group ended. I’m sure you have been inspired and creative, as I have. My garden is even looking better this spring. And gardening is keeping the weight off. More than one use for growing roses!
Annie,
So happy to hear all your wonderful news!
Of course I missed you but family and teaching take precedence! Your sweet little granddaughters are so adorable. And congratulations to Kirstin!! Wedding bells, here they come!
Really have missed you – as I see everyone has! You’ve been busy too – congrats to your daughter and oh those grandbabies are soooo cute!
Yeah, Annie’s back. Looks like you’ve been a busy lady. As my daughter says, It’s all good. I look forward to the next podcast.
Goodness! We wondered what happened and are glad it wasn’t anything bad. I’d love to hear a new podcast especially if it involves Lyric Kinard!
Annie,
I miss you when you’re gone and I have listened to all the podcasts until I can almost repeat them by heart. Please hurry back and podcast soon!
