Happy New Year, Michele. Love your blog and seeing your projects. Mostly, love how you write and what you write about. One of my favorite blogs not to mention quilting blogs on the web.

I wish you a happy, and healthy, New Year ahead. I'm pretty sure you have a good handle on the productive aspect already. Be well my thoughtful, talented, sweet, friend. The many times your words have helped me in these last months are too numerous to count. Bless you.

Oh my goodness, but you were a busy woman in 2010. No doubt you'll be just as industrious and giving in 2011. Happy New Year to you!
