For audio book lovers --- don't miss this one!!!
The Last Dickens
I heard about it & checked it out at the public library
So far, I'm very hooked!!! Not sure if it is the audio format - the story telling -- or the story, but it is one of the DONT MISS audios

The Pink Artists

The Pink Artists are getting together for their second project.
With left over 2" x 2" squares, a wall art hanging is being created. It will be called Block Party '09
It will be sold with donations going to Susan G. Komen For the Cure


In addtion to the wall hanging (quilt), there will be works of art created by the Pink Artists

Drawing details coming soon!

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? The Summer '09 issue of Art Quilting Studio has a great article on The Pink Artists



Did you notice they made mention of Pat Winter's art quilt square ?

I looked at the Slide Show on Monica's post, and I spotted my 'left over' square
My square is in the upper right corner of this block. So kewl to be involved in this worthy cause
