New Poll... A question I've been dying to ask other quilters for some time!

I've created a poll in the right column, because I thought it would be neat to try that feature here in Blogger, and also because I've had this burning question for other quilters for awhile now.  You'll see that one of the choices in the poll allows you to indicate you will be posting a comment here, if you are so inclined.  I included that because I figure there are others, like me, who just can't be confined to the check-boxes, or feel their response needs clarification.  So those of you can rejoice, and add your comments below this post to your hearts' content!  So please, take the poll, and leave some comments... I'm dying to see your responses!

And, on the subject of polls, I may decide to make this a monthly feature, and try to "pick your brains" on a regular basis... so stay tuned!

I'm On Twitter!

I've resisted the urge long enough, and on Saturday finally signed up for a Twitter account.  I'm still figuring out all the bells and whistles, but you can find me @quiltykate ...  See you there!

This is such a cool video!

Hold onto your seats, quilters and designers alike!  I won't tell you too much about this video, first because it it hard to put into words how cool it is, and second, because I don't want to spoil it for you; you should really check it out for yourself!  In addition to the amazing visual, the soundtrack is really cool too.  Enjoy!

Snowman Family Reunion

I made this quilt for my sister-in-law, who LOVES decorating with snowmen during winter.  I gave it to her as a Christmas gift in 2007, and titled it "Snowman Family Reunion."  It's made of flannel (yes, that's a large "cheater" panel in the center!), and I had a really hard time with the checked fabric (it got a little wonky).  All in all, it didn't turn out too bad.  It was beautifully longarm quilted by my dear friend, Debbie Cimaglio.
