I'm in the process of creating a monthly Newsletter for Comforting Quilter's. I'm looking for photos and work in progress photos from our first weekend quilting session.
Keep posted! As soon as I learn how, I'll get that newsletter posted for you all to read. If you have any tips and tricks to share, please send your articles to me by clicking the Contact Me link above.
The deadline for the April Newsletter is March 15th.
Blessings!

Our "Antebellum" Renovation
This home in the Deep South of Georgia, is our second home to renovate. We have been here for about 6 years now, and the main floor of the home is very close to completion. We do most of the work ourselves, and my husband, Mike, has done a fabulous job with the woodwork and ceilings in the place.
The amount of work that we have done on the house has caused a huge accumulation of photos. I'll be posting photos as I go along for you to enjoy. We love our home and we hope you enjoy it too!

Comforting Quilter's Happenings!
I've had a great day! It would appear, however, that the comment boxes are finally being diagnosed. I've had some issues with them on all of my blogs today.
Have a comment? Send me an email and I'll be sure to post it when Blogger gets back up and rolling.
I've found a few books that may be of interest to some of you. Comforting Quilter's will be dealing with grief, sorrow and stress of families awaiting the passing of their loved one. In addition, these quilts go to those whose time is short here.
My apologies for the inconvenience. Happy Quilting!

Comforting Quilter's Happenings!
QUILTER'S MAKE BETTER COMFORTER'S!
Well, the maiden voyage of "Comforting Quilter's" was a fabulous success, and I wanted to get these photos posted of the great time we had!
Some were experienced quilters, others had never even touched a pair of scissors and we even had a wonderful man who took over the ironing job!
Everyone learned something tonight and tomorrow morning promises to bring at least two finished quilt tops and the completion of two more quilts ready to stitch!
Thanks to Comforting Quilters supporters! We're off to a great start!
Memory Quilts
Have you ever wondered what you do without your grandmother's quilt? Whether you have it hanging on your wall, draped on a quilt stand or still use it to snuggle up with on a cold winter's night, the memories of your grandmother's fresh baked bread, kind smile or gentle touch come to your mind each time you look at it.
I would love to help you create a comforting memory for your children or grandchildren. Leave a legacy of comfort and fond recollections with an heirloom quilt created just for them.
Contact me to make arrangements to create your very own heirloom quilt.

LinkedIn.com
I recently joined linkedin.com through an invitation from an office acquaintance. I signed up out of sheer curiousity as I had no idea what it was. After receiving several invitations, I decided that I needed to check this place out!
I started with my work information and hit the group directory looking for groups that I could network for the Law Firm where I currently work. I found some great groups in Legal Marketing, Taxes and Personal Injury information that helped me to improve my job. Already I have taken two Webinars are marketing law firms and am anxiously awaitng my third tomorrow on blog writing for search engine optimazation.
While this is all very interesting, I decided to check out my hobby! What a blast! There are numerous quilting groups that are active and informative. I have all three of my emails listed under one login, so when I join a group, I can choose which email I would like to receive comments. A great addition to my busy life with Quilting a Memory, my personal email and my work email!
Now let me bring you to my point of this writing. I joined a great group moderated by Pat Snyder of annthegran.com. There are currently 38 members in this group, "Machine Embroidery for the 21st Century". I love annthegran.com's designs, and didn't hesitate to join up!
Unfortunately, sweet Pat is having some family issues with her autistic grandson and has sent out a message to the group pleading for a moderater for this group as she simply can not handle the group at this time.
If any of my readers has an interest in helping Pat out, join linkedin.com now and contact her throught group directory. I know that she would appreciate not losing such a worthwhile group.
Pat's blog is amazing as well and I encourage everyone to visit her blog and follow her. Simply an amazing designer!

It Snowed!
Wonders will never cease! Being a die-hard Westerner and living in the South has had it's share of challenges! After 6 years in Georgia, I can honestly say that I have grown accustomed to this magical place.
However, (and there always seems to be one) there will always be a special place in my heart for the mountains, and the beautiful snow that the winter season brings. Here in the South, snow is normally an unimagineable occurence, but this past weekend, we had a surprise visit from the cold Northern skies!IT SNOWED!
Yes, it's true, the soft, white fluffy stuff fell from the sky and left a lovely blanket of peace and silence in our part of the world. Our Camilia's and trees were covered with a fresh layer of that memorable and dearly-missed element from my youth. Children laughing, building snowmen and coasting down the hill on a homemade sled, while adults with the camera's in hand took snapshots and videos of this memorable moment!
There were even reports of car accidents on the roads, not due to bad roads, but simply drivers whose attention looked to the heavens in amazement, failing to notice that they had just run a red light!
The snow is now gone and all that remains is this bitter cold. Is Spring coming soon?
