My Blog on beginner quilting. But many other subjects are covered. It is my space to comment on things going on in my life and reflects my opinion only. As a friend of mine says: It's mine and I will write what I want in it. As the title says, I would rather be quilting... But sometimes other stuff tends to come up and get in the way.
For updates about the website, check out the OBO Updates Blog.

Yesterday, I wrote that John Lennon said something when I should have used the word “wrote”.

That movie is one of my favorites because it reminds me of my step-father who was an English/Journalism teacher who did the same thing: touch many lives with his teaching style. As graduations are taking place all over, it’s nice to remember those people who believed in you when you didn’t and, in some way, inspired you to do something good – maybe even great.
