Springtime in the Rockies Blog Tour

I'm still new to this blogging thing.  I hope I am doing this right.  Thank you Konda for asking me to be in this book.  And for encouraging me to get this blog going.  This quilt "Grandmas Tulip Garden" is one of my favorite quilts.  I love books like this with lots of different styles and tastes to choose from.  Its amazing to me how when I buy new quilt books I feel like I am friends with the designers.  I hope I make lots of new friends with this new endeavor.  Please consider me your new friend.  Send me a note, and good luck winning one of these books.
