Pat Sloan’s Radio Show

Monday I will have a little chat with Pat Sloan on American Patchwork & Quilting Radio.  Click on the link to hear the show live 4 – 5 p.m. Eastern time.  I’m the last guest.  You can also download podcasts there.  The last time I was on there, which has been over a year ago, I downloaded all the podcasts and listened to them over and over!  If you’ve never checked it out, head on over there but be sure to listen live on Monday afternoon.

And, no laughing at my accent!  It’s probably more acceptable now that I live in TX but I think when I was living in MO, no one expected the accent I have.  If you’ve never heard me speak, you’re now wondering what I sound like, aren’t you?  :)

What is it About Chocolate?

I don’t love chocolate.  I’ll eat some things — Reese Cups, Almond Joy, Kit-Kat . . but for the most part, I don’t like it at all.  But every now and then, I just want something chocolate.  All week last week, I was wishing I had chocolate.  Really, I was wishing I had any kind of junk food.   Wednesday I went to Wal-Mart.

Yep, now I have chocolate.  Yesterday I opened one of the bags of Kisses and was wondering . . why did I buy this?  I know I’ll eat it because I eat anything sweet that’s within my reach, but it surely isn’t my favorite.  The Smarties and the Jelly Beans will be gone way before the chocolate unless Vince finds my stash!  :)

Pick a Pinwheel – Part 2

Once all the flying geese and half square triangles are done, there will be one more of these type steps and the rest will be smooth sailing!  This will go so quickly once all these pieces are made.  Stick with me, ok?

Today’s assignment is to make half square triangles that will be 2″ finished or 2-1/2″ unfinished.  Make 80 of each – background/medium blue and background/dark blue.
