still here...

I'm still here...I sure hope some of you are too. It's been kind of tough this year to keep up with blogging. There have been changes going on in my personal life--very stressful and difficult changes, but ones that will lead to better things.

I've always wanted my blog to be a happy and inspiring place, so it seemed the best thing to do would be to step back for awhile.

Having said that, I'm happy to say that I'm looking forward to taking my very first vacation alone next week--and it's a big one. More on that real soon...there will be a post coming just before I leave.

To make the time pass more quickly (I just can't wait to go!) I've been making travel items and am looking forward to sharing those with you. We're all so lucky to have access to great patterns--it's been fun stitching things up.

So because I'll be gone, Late Bloomer Quilts will be "closed" all of next week--from February 28 until March 7. Any orders received during that time will be shipped off as soon as I'm able to function back in my time zone. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

Oh, and there are a couple of bag kits and Tied with a Bow kits left...so if you were afraid you'd missed out, head on over to the website and order. If you order by Friday, noon Pacific time, I'll even get them on their way to you before I leave.
