Quilt on a Rug

(6 miles)

Jeeez. It always amazes me that I let more than a day go by without writing. It does not seem like I skipped a day. Perhaps it is because I skipped two days?? sigh...

Anyway, I thought you might enjoy this picture of the rug I made for the Rockland Corporation. They saw my rug in our booth at Spring Market and asked me to make one for them. This is the result. Hmmm. As I write this, it occurs to me that I might have already shown this to you. Now I am really getting concerned about my mind. Gulp. Oh well. Our "Quilt on a Rug" pattern has been popular beyond our wildest imagination so it might not hurt to repeat myself.

I have been up since 3:30 a.m. Just could not get the devastation of the Gulf out of my mind and heart. I have to keep busy so I won't cry all the time. So, I decided to get on the computer and create directions for my Pretty in Pink quilt. This is the one I made to raffle off for our fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research.

Just another beautiful old day...

The title of this blog relates to a quote from a five year old. I just loved it. Today is truly a beautiful day. Anyway, I am so excited about doing this Thread "blog" style. I am Totally New to this so please bear with me. Hey, I am pretty new to quilting and even newer to the "quilting business." I started my company, Dianne Springer Designs ( www.quiltinacup.com ) two years ago and the learning curve has been HUGE. Here, the curve grows and continues with this blog thingie.

This last weekend I forced myself to stop my quilt stuff so I could finally go down to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and deliver my sister's Christmas gifts. It did occur to me that I could leave the tree up and the gifts under it and be all nice and ready for next year, heh heh. NOT. My sister would have killed me and I have unfinished quilts in the closet so that would definitely be a bad thing. Besides, I got to go see her - a gift to myself ! I took her to see "Avatar." It was my third time and I am wondering how many times it would take for me to tire of it. Wow Wow Wow. Creativity runs amok in this production. Do yourself a favor and go see it. This is going to be a trendsetter in the movie business.

By the way, changing subjects, anyone want to be a tester for my new quilt pattern? It is called "The Scrap-o-Lator." I will give you a free pattern and my undying gratitude. Impressed? Please call 318 247-9725 and let me know. Have a Grrreat week and do yourself a favor by checking out the Quilterblogs.com
