And Jane – I love that you have a pic of yourself labeled as the ‘quilt geek.’ I have long considered myself a quilt nerd/geek. 
And Gretchen’s beautiful finish:

Challenge: MAY MAYHEM!!!
What is May Mayhem? That is the title of my May challenge for listeners. I have decided to challenge myself to perform a quilting or sewing activity every day for at least 15 minutes for all of May. Would you like to join the fun? Head on over to the Pioneer Quilter group at the Big Tent. All you have to do to join is leave a reply to the forum topic entitled ‘May Mayhem’.
Then once a week I will post a new forum message for you to log your progress at. I will have mini podcasts each week to discuss the progress and whatnot of the challenge. Consider joining up today!
Enjoy the show!
Episode 20 – happy two-oh!

Thank you to the many listeners leaving comments! The Husband especially likes your feedback
In March I had the opportunity to see Patricia Knoechel of Quilt-in-a-day fame speak and give sewing demonstrations. It was well worth the $3.00 entrance fee and the 1/2 day of vacation! She was promoting her sister Eleanor’s book, ‘Quilt Blocks on American Barns’. I bought a few things and had a great time. I am glad I took the time to go.
Hurray! I finished The Boy’s quilt. Sorry, we are having technical difficulties with the camera so no photos yet but I wanted to share the awesomest finish on the binding I have seen: the ladder stitch! I heard someone mention it on a podcast – I am thinking Annie Smith but honestly it was months and months ago so I am not sure who it was. So I googled it to find a tutorial. I found this super-clear and easy to follow tutorial at Turning Turning. Check it out.
Head on over to Big Tent to join the Pioneer Quilter group! You will need to join the main Quiltcast Supergroup before you can join Pioneer Quilter. Signing up will get you entered in a drawing to win a year of Quilter’s Newsletter! You can also enter by leaving a comment here and by leaving feedback on iTunes (and then notifying me of your feedback here.)
Have a listen!
