Aahhh, another top finished. I really think this one is my all time favorite. I feel that blue and yellow defines me and that this quilt is an example of my true tastes, not just an exploration of what is appealing to me for the moment. I might make another quilt like this one in the future only a bit larger so it can fit on the bed. This one only measures 57 x 66". I look forward to the day when I will have my longarm and be able to do the quilting!

Sunshine and Green Grass
Aaahh, the green green grass of home. There is nothing more beautiful than a good crop! Here's to hoping that it can keep up! Our dog Jeffrey seems quite pleased as well.

7 Interesting Facts About Me
1. I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 96' from Georgia to Maine where I met my husband beside a river in Tennessee who was also thru-hiking northbound. This is also where I acquired my name Heidi which is still what everyone calls me today even though my real name is completely different!
2. I have never been even a minute late to a job in my entire life. None of my employer's ever noticed this about me, except for the last place I worked at in Michigan. So, of course I happened to marry a man who is always late for everything! Hmmm...
3. I have lived over 5 years in Germany and Austria. Three years I studied German at a University in Austria and years later I taught skiing and sailing for the Armed Forces in Germany.
4. About the only food I don't like is watermelon. Well, I guess I am not too crazy about broad beans or brussel sprouts either.
5. I survived being held up at gunpoint in Mexico when I was only 19 and on an language exchange program in college!
6. I once lived camped on a beach in Hawaii for over seven months with an ex-boyfriend and only spent 1,200 dollars the entire time while we lived mainly on fish, fruit and coconuts.
7. I traveled to India and Nepal on my own where I spent most of my time hiking the AnnaPurna Circuit. I did get a chance to try river kayaking and paragliding too, though.
Well, that is that. I guess it makes me sound a bit like a vagabond or something like that, but really I am a happy house mouse that loves quiet farm living! Do you like our sunset view?

More of Austen
I finally sewed the long strips of my Jane Austen quilt together. I start to really slow down when I have to do borders or long pieces. Now the border adventure begins... I am going to have to get myself mentally prepared to get stuck into it. Would it be too terrible of me if I worked with the Amy Butler fabric for a little while now?

Flowers For You
At the moment I am busy putting the last borders on Folklorique so hopefully I will have a picture to post tomorrow. It has been a real treat to work on, I just love the colors and feel of the fabrics.
These flowers I am posting for you Lynn--I get the feeling you have seen them already? Let me know if you have, especially the yellow ones...

Folklorique Continued
In other exciting news, I finally got my temporary residence for Australia and am now on the path to becoming an Australian! Yea! Lots of paperwork was involved and so it is a relief to have that behind me. Now I am allowed to work so I will be working on putting my plan forward to start a long arm quilting business from home. I really don't know what I am getting into, but I feel that if one is passionate about something the rest works itself out. Hmmm... Any advice out there, I would love if anyone who has had experience starting a long arm quilting business could give me some tips. Thanks!
