And Off You Go

I have a couple places I want to send you to, but first I wanted to show you how the Schnibbles Sweet Spot quilt is coming along. It's actually complete as far as the pattern goes--

... but I want to make mine a little larger. I'm considering a couple different options right now and I'll show you whatever I decide. I think this will look terrific on the kitchen table this summer! I used (mostly) the American Jane line, Punctuation.

My blog friend Robin is a teacher and has a funny post about parents and kids. Quite a few of my quilting friends here in Sacramento are either teachers or aides, so I know they'll completely identify with Robin's post. You can read it HERE. If you're a teacher, work in a school, are retired from teaching, or work with kids in daycare, will you consider sharing one of your favorite stories in a comment here? I love reading about what kids get up to!

Another blog friend north of the border, Cara, recently experienced an epiphany concerning women's shelters and what she could do to help. She has issued a challenge to her readers that you can read about HERE. As if helping those in need isn't reward enough, Cara has rounded up a whole bunch of people who have donated prizes to reward Cara's readers for joining her in doing good things for others. Check it out.
