Pieces of April


Did you know there was a song by Three Dog Night called Pieces of April?

I didn't. Actually, I'm ashamed to say, I'm sure I know songs by Three Dog Night, but I can't name one off the top of my head. They have some really famous ones too, I'm sure.

Well, I took a break from sewing, [and cooking and cleaning and working and all the other commitments that go along with a busy family] to check out my friends on the internet and I ran across this GREAT blog.

It has nothing to do with Quilting, and nothing to do with sewing either. So this is a bit out of character for me, because I generally reserve this blog for mostly quilty-thoughts.

But here it is: Pieces of April Check it out!

On other news, my July swaps finally finished. And I was so happy with the results. My little swap club, which we hosted through a private blog has grown bigger over the last year and we finally did a website for it. But now that we opened it up to the public, I've decided not to spread myself so thin with so many different swap groups.

Between that and all my Quilting commitments (and the family and working full-time) it's a good thing!

On that note, the September swaps have opened for sign-ups. We only do three swaps a month currently (beginner, intermediate, and expert) and so far every month has filled up since we started almost a year ago. Check the Swap Club schedule out if you are interested: iQuilty.com

I've decided that today is a beautiful day to tackle applique!

Cheers,

Dionne

Thanks for the link to iquilty. I went over and took a look. I may have to do this in the future. Sounds like fun.

Thanks, Dionne - I appreciate your comments about my blog!

I think one of Three Dog Night's most famous was Joy to the World *singing* to all the boys and girls - joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea - joy to you and me. I was listening to them on 8-track as a kid!

I know lots of songs by Three Dog Night, and can name them off the top of my head. :-D So I'll go check out the blog.

And I hear you about the swaps. I've been saying lots of "sorry.. not this time"s too.
