World MS Day
National MS Society
I know that I am a day late, but this is something that is very important to me since I suffer from this disease. People I feel need to be made more aware of the disease and its debilitating effects on people. Please help conquer MS!
And now that, that is over, I will be back sometime this weekend with pictures and updates about April, May, and maybe whats coming up in June!

I am still here
Hello! Man has it ever been a long time since I have blogged. I just forgot how long it had been until I started receiving e-mails about where was I. Well, its been busy, I haven't exactly had the time I wanted off from work, they decided to have a alternate location, good for the library, but not so good for me. So I work a day a week at the local college's library.
I have been cleaning like mad, and getting things organized and fabric sorted to get rid of. Major improvements are happening on all levels, which I am very excited about. But with those major happenings, things are getting a little busy and have had no sewing time what so ever. Those I will talk about in a later post, once things have been settled down and are slowing down.
Not many of you know that I also do lots of freelance work for others, such as art style quilts. Personally they are not my favorite quilt to make, because I am so much more traditional in that aspect, but they do earn me some extra money, and every once in a while, I make a couple art quilts for myself. I don't tend to share those, because I don't think they are very good, but there are a couple art galleries in Omaha, who are very interested in these quilts that I keep tucked away, and they want to plan a gallery opening, which is very exciting for me. I have a couple more to make to if I ever have time, because I have to have even numbers or a odd number, that looks symetrical, i.e. like 9 quilts or fifteen quilts works for me, but not 7 or say eleven or nineteen.
When the quilts are hung in the gallery, or if they are hung, I will be sure to take pictures to share with everyone. I have also been getting my class teaching schedule ready for teaching some art classes at the Fremont Art Gallery. So my life has been busier than normal, and I wish that the weather would certainly make up its mind if its going to be winter or spring. I am tired of the cold, the wind and the rain.
