I've taken the plunge...I'm a blogger. I'll get right to it. The new year is approaching and I have decided to join the 2011 UFO Challenge with Judy of Patchwork Times. I have more than 12 projects and some will take longer than a month, even if I only worked on that project, so I will have to make some realistic parameters on what I hope to accomplish.

Top tips for social blogging: 1. Lots of pictures 2. Keep it regular 3. Don't be afraid to go 'off topic', your cat's antics are just as interesting as your quilt projects 4. Better to avoid 'heavy' politics and religion unless you only want to read and be read by people who think exactly like you 5. Be careful what you post, there are a few weirdos out there altho not so many in Alaska because there are fewer of you :)
I'm so glad you stopped by to visit. I have discovered I am not so great at responding to comments...but I really do get so excited when you take the time to share.
