Heres a pic of the lovely parents!
What wonderful parents they will be!!! I'm so excited!!!
I was shocked when I saw how long it had been since I last posted. It was just before Market and the days have been spinning by ever since!! One of my New Years Resolutions is to post at least once a week. I've never had as busy a year as 2010 and for awhile there it was all I could do just to keep up with the workload, the holidays, and having friends and family with us which was so much fun!
I have so much to share with you all and will do my best to not bombard you all at once!! I have had quilts in several magazines recently, and started a personal project by Leanne Beasley called Leanne's House. Four of my best friends are working on this Block of the Month project with me and we are having a great time. Everyone is going at their own pace, and one is learning how to do stitchery! Here's my first blocks so far. I haven't finished the stitchery part yet, but I'm well on my way! This is so much fun and very relaxing having something to do in my chair in the evenings.
I wanted to share my latest magazine issues with you also, as I made cover for Fons and Porter' Jan/Feb issue! What a great way to start the year!
This quilt is called Interlocking Stars and I've been getting wonderful response from quilters. I am so blessed and grateful for this business in my life! Fons and Porter also featured me in their Best of for the year of 2010. It features my Country Sunflowers quilt from last year. I was thrilled!
Below is the Country Sunflowers quilt they show.

I have a few pics to share with you from Market. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and have gotten through the crazy winter weather the country has been enduring without too much hassel. I will be back on a weekly basis or sooner--I have so much upcoming news to share and I want to keep my resolution!!! Happy Quilting!

Congrats Grandma!! Is this the first time? I know you'll be designing a special quilt for that new baby. I'm so excited for you.
Good to see you back - I've been bogged down with life and it's just flying by!!

Diane it sounds like you have had such a blessed year. And now it is only getting better with the new one on the way. You deserve it!!
Love the stitchery quilt. I have just learned hand embroidery these last 6 months too and love it.
Hugs to all of you gals. Tell them all a special hello from me!
Congrats !!! Grandchildren are the most fun...and they make life complete...
Congratulations! It is exciting to hear that a grandbaby is on the way. My first one is due in February. I can hardly wait!
*Huge* congratulations, Diane! Both on the new grandchild and on all of your accomplishments in having so many of your beautiful quilts published! :)
Congrats! What great quilts--all of them--and welcome back to blogging!
I am working on the interlocking stars quilt and having a small problem with the first block (corner block assembly #1)- when I put all the A (1 3/4") squares together they are 1/2" longer than the D Rectangle which is (4 1/4"). What am I doing wrong? Could you please help me?
