In this episode, I announce the winner of the Q3 quilty resolutions giveaway, and talk about fiber-related shopping in Canada, Atlanta, and gifties at home. (Audio player link at bottom of post.)
In this episode:

In this episode I explain a bit about my yet-another-absence, talk about meetings of the minds with fish, a bit about eggs and pasta, a lot more about quilty projects, and do some listener feedback.
In this episode I talk about why it's been so long since my last episode. There's also a little bit about pasta, purple scarves, Scrapitude, and coloring with colored pencils.

...or, In Which I May Have Referred to It as Episode 162. Oops. Sorry about that. In any case, this episode does not have a whole lot of quilty talk in it, although somewhere around 30 minutes in I do talk about purchases from Lolly's in Shipeshewana and then the Superior Threads order I'd gotten before I left town, including a little information about threads from the Thread Therapy DVD. So if you're not interested in hearing about a Drive Home from H-E-Double-Hockey Sticks, listen to the first 5-6 minutes of announcements (and a question posed to listeners), and then skip past the 30 minute mark or so for everything else.
In this episode, I talk about panty dogs and empty walls and bobbins and miters. And a few other things.
In this episode, I manage not to whine--at least, not much--about a tooth emergency that happened. But mostly, I announce the winner of the 2014 Quilty Resolutions 2d Quarter Check-in giveaway, talk about quilt projects I've completed and what I'm working on now, and a bit about holographic threads, paint sticks, and all sorts of sparkly pretties.
2014 is halfway in the bag! How did I miss that? In this episode, I announce (officially) the Second Quarter 2014 Quilty Resolutions Check-in Giveaway and Linky party. It's on my blog--click here for the actual post with the Rafflecopter giveaway and linky party. (The deadline is next Saturday.) I also give a Sandy update, and then talk about my own quilty resolutions and what staying focused has helped me to achieve so far this year.
She's baa-aack, and she's gotten some stuff done. In this episode, I make a special announcement about a new-to-the-scene pattern designer (woo!), as well as the upcoming Banned Books Week Challenge, and then just talk about what I've gotten done lately. And a couple of new product reviews to boot.

Yay! I have another finish! In this episode I give a brief update on where I've been and what I've been doing, then talk about putting on a binding entirely by machine. I also talk about two new books in my library, and do some listener feedback.
