Pearl the Squirrel: It's a New Year! Looking Back and Looking Forward
http://pearlthesquirrel.blogspot.com/2015/01/its-new-year-looking-back-and-looking.html
Sunday, January 4, 2015. It's a New Year! Looking Back and Looking Forward. It's been two full months since I last wrote. There are lots of reasons why, including the suspicion that blogging may be on the way out and time is best spent elsewhere. But much of it has been about a phase of my life, one that involves adult children and elderly relatives, career successes and considering what's next, all mixed with the usual anxiety, guilt, and pleasures that come day-to-day.

http://pearlthesquirrel.blogspot.com/2009/11/baby-im-amazed.html
Sunday, November 15, 2009. Baby, I'm amazed. My good friend Sondra had her baby in October. As a matter of fact, as I was waiting for my luggage in Houston I got the message and wanted to hug total strangers at the airport, I was so excited. (I controlled myself.). On Saturday, I finally got to meet baby Emily. Another work buddy, Anne (of Pearvana. Crayons and Happy Dots.) The pattern is Shoe Boxes by Terry Atkinson. From her book Time Out Quilts. Oh, how cool it is to be blogged about! And here.a p...

http://pearlthesquirrel.blogspot.com/2015/02/art-quilts-of-midwest-first-copy-has.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Art Quilts of the Midwest: The First Copy Has Arrived! Last week, just before leaving for QuiltCon, I got an email from the University of Iowa Press saying that one copy of my book. But apparently it now it did. When I talked to my husband and told him it was there he said "If you don't get it, I will! I'll share more about the book itself, but for now know that it will be available in the next week or so at Prairie Lights. And through the Press. I hope you'll take a look!

Pearl the Squirrel: Inspired by Amy Butler and Oaxaca
http://pearlthesquirrel.blogspot.com/2015/01/inspired-by-amy-butler-and-oaxaca.html
Friday, January 23, 2015. Inspired by Amy Butler and Oaxaca. Last week I got the chance to interview Amy again and it turns out she loves Oaxaca, Mexico, as much as I do. We talked about the incredible colors, people, landscapes, and textiles. It reminded me to share a few photos from our Christmas in Oaxaca. Hope you enjoy them. The color inspiration is so fascinating! I loved seeing your pictures on IG, and I love seeing them again here! January 23, 2015 at 7:12 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saturday, March 28, 2015. Art Quilts of the Midwest is Launched! Here Codi and I look oddly formal (considering that I must have hugged her 27 times over the evening). But she gave me this bouquet of. Tulips and I wanted to include it in the picture. She put so much effort into the evening, and I was so grateful. Emily, in the black and white jacket, was one of the book's jurors. Designers, knitters extraordinaire, biologists, etc. come out to support the book meant so very much. Links to this post.
