What, Me Retire? No Way! But, things change and so do my quilt activities and opportunities.  On the Quilt Store link there is a new book set offer plus a Quilters Can Cook booklet featuring the Scrap Soup quilt. My travel link is now updated with further explanations on my 2008 Blog.

Have you made your list of goals for the New Year? Sometimes just writing it down gives inspiration and the big challenge of completing them. Here goes: 

1) Design and complete a "Sunflowers Ala Marie Webster" quilt for my annual Montreat Retreat at the William Black Lodge in Montreat, NC.  www.williamblacklodge.org. (First week is full, but there are openings for the second week. Check it out on my On The Road link)

2) Attend the Master Gardener program through the NC Cooperative Extension Service.

3) Install a stone labyrinth and nature trails on our QuiltBuilt property.

4) Create a line of fabric for the Hall of Fame. www.quiltershalloffame.net

5) Gear up for the annual Celebration July trip to Marion, Indiana. This year, celebrate Helen Kelley (Bill will come to) as an Honoree.
Join me as we make an opportunity quilt on a treadle sewing machine, otherwise known as the Giggle Brigade!

6) Think "Eagles" for our Nine Quarter Circle Ranch class in September. Due to popularity we have extended classes for two weeks. Send a SASE to The Lap Quilter, PO Box 96, Flat Rock, NC 28731 for further info. Charlotte Warr Andersen and I promise you quilt fun and new design opportunities.

7) Another quilt book rumble? Maybe so!

Thank you for going to my web site. Thank you for your loyal viewing of the CreateTV re broadcasting of our UNC TV Lap Quilting series. Our quilt skills and knowledge are classic and the same How To techniques are timeless. I hope this finds you meeting the new challenges of life.
