QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

What a wonderful time you all had there!! To be able to meet your blogger friends and to have classes, and do stitching ( not to forget to mention "eats" too!!!) You do some pretty work and you have a big following--I see you listed on alot of my blog site lists--so decided I needed to introduce myself to you== I have a blog site--actually i have two sites--one is more for entertaining and the second one is for my projects--the main one is: quiltingisblissful.blogspot.com and by the way I think I am AU, but living in the wrong country--I much prefer your magazines and designs to ours!!!!!Just, Di
