Hi, friends! I am heading to Quilt Con, a modern quilting conference, in Austin early tomorrow morning, and thought I would follow The Modern Quilt Guild’s suggestion and share a few things about myself that you might not know. [If you read number 4, you might think that I am just procrastinating packing. That is not, in fact, true :]
1. I love to see new places, but I am no fun in the car unless I have a hand sewing project to work on. I usually bind quilts, but on our way to Blackwater Falls, I decided to try my hand at English Paper Piecing (EPP) instead. Turns out, it’s a lot of fun! I’m planning on taking hexagons to Quiltcon… just in case I get antsy. I figure, what better place?
2. I lived in Jerusalem for 4 months in 2000 on an intensive language study abroad. I remember (and use) my Hebrew about as much as you would expect, 13 years later. It was a lovely and fascinating experience, one I’m sure I would appreciate more now than I did then.
3. I tend to do everything in “fast’” mode. I read fast, I eat fast, I (wish I could) run fast. I am not a perfectionist. See #4.
4. Sometimes I wonder if I do everything fast because I am a procrastinator. I am trying to work on said procrastination.
5. In my perfect world, it would always be 68-82 degrees, I would have a sewing room, and someone else would clean my house.
Bonus: I love pralines Love. I happen to have some from Charleston in my house right now, and they are sooooo good. Thanks, Lolo!

I love your hexes! I’m a book blogger who is a wannabe quilter and I’ve recently started making hexes (well, have about 200 done). I find it lets me watch TV with my husband in the evening without too much idle hand quilt.
Good luck with the trip and enjoy QuiltCon. I’ve always enjoyed your blog–silently–but wanted to say hi today.
I’m with you on #5 (and #4, really). Have fun at QuiltCon!
אני מעריצה של הבלוג שלך, והעבודות שלך מקסימות! כל הכבוד!
דרך אגב- כאן בחיפה הטמפרטורות הן 68-82 מעלות, והשמש זורחת כל יום…
Love yor blog and your work is wonderful!
btw – here in Haifa, Israel it’s 68-82 degrees and the sun shines every day
Thanks for sharing with us, you are a great inspiration!
What do you plan to do with these? Have a Fabulous trip.
LOL! This is awesome. I’m totally taking some EPP with me, too. A little quilting lecture, a little hand sewing – sounds great to me!
i am a fast one too! the sewing machine rattles everyone else on the table because of the lightning speed.
have fun at quilt con! i too am a procrastinator…and then fast doer in order to mark things off my list. i’ve got it pretty bad. maybe a support group is in order. as long as we can sew hexies during meetings it wouldn’t be so bad.
Very cool! I’m a procrastinator, too, and frequently speed through things because of it so I get you.
Your Jerusalem stay must have been fantastic! Hebrew is on the list of languages I’d like to learn but probably don’t have time in this life for… I did a similar intensive in Russia in 2003 and am saddened by how much of it I’ve lost. I don’t get a chance to practice very often.
Have fun at QuiltCon! (So jealous…
