Love the new cover. Can’t wait to see what is inside. Just had news today I will start my radiation treatments on July 15th for twenty one treatments. No chemo is necessary and I will be able to stay close to hospital so Dave will not have the two and half hour drive one way
each day. So all is well for us we feel. Thank you to you and all your bloggers for all the prayers and well wishes. Dianne Cook, Kincardine, Ontario, Canada.
PS, Sorry to see you are having trouble posting. Your blogs are just wonderful, always enjoy
all your news and pictures.

Dianne M Cook – will the radiation be every day? I can hear the relief in your “voice” – so glad you don’t have to have chemo!

Dianne M Cook
Hi Mary, Radiation is five days a week in London, Ontario and I will go home on
weekends. Will stay in local Marriott hotel with meals and transportation to hospital
provided for a VERY reasonable rate. Had a friend who was treated last year and she
took her sewing machine and completed a whole quilt top while there. I will look at
this time as a mini quilt retreat. Keep on blogging please, always look forward to
reading all about your life, especially loved Reed’s quilt and your adventures with
him. Dianne

Dianne Cook – that will be very convenient for you, won’t it? Oh, yes, take your quilting along and rest when you need to rest but enjoy TV movies and quilting – the time will fly by. And won’t it be just that much sweeter to go back home for the weekends? Thinking of you! We all are!

Katherine Gourley
Hi Mary, I love purchasing yours and Connie’s books. I have purchased all of the books currently on Martingale and I have a number of your older books that I have purchased used on Amazon. I only wish that I had the time to make all of them. You and Connie are amazing women and I wait for all the blog posts to come through. Your spirit and energy are such an inspiration. You and I retired at the same time and I had every hope that I would get all of my quilting projects. Unfortunately, God had other plans and I am constantly fighting a rare lung disease and rare cancer (not in my lungs). I do all that I can but it is not as much as you and Connie are doing in retirement. A regret I have is never getting to a retreat at Country Threads.
I appreciate you very much. I do not always comment, but every post you make brings so many oohs and ahhs and lots of laughs.

CountryThreadsPost author
Katherine Gourley – oh my goodness! Your health sounds pretty serious! I understand not doing as much as you’d like to because I am having knee and hip issues – certainly not life threatening but it all keeps me from working outside as much as I’d like. What did you retire FROM?

LOVE the new cover! Temps will be in the 90’s here in Texas as July dawns. So the quilt on the sled in the snow looks inviting! Contrast of your color choices against the stark white is fabulous!
Once again my thoughts race to – You and Connie are so inspiring and motivating! I know some days we think you are writing a simple blog, but then I remember
with all that you “show ‘n tell” us…there are still all the quilts being made in-the-background, that you cannot reveal until the next book is published.
You two are such go-getters! I love that you share your lives with us!!! Have a GRAND Fourth of July week!!!
Love and Hugs,

The quilt was Lucky Stars & her husband still has the quilt & loves it! Loved your Civil War fabrics!

Now seeing the cover it was worth the wait! I enjoyed reading the stories of the women in your previous book, and I am sure I will enjoy these stories just as much. Prayers for Diane in Canada. A mini quilt retreat sounds like just the ticket. Ready for the Dirty Dozen. I have changed the projects a FEW times. Thanks to another reader for planning leader and ender projects along the way. I took the Bonnie Hunter rails and checkerboard quilt off the list and am keeping it a leader and ender. I have worked off and on with it and a 4-patch quilt. I am keeping those two quilts as leader-ender projects and I can add two more UFOs to my Dirty Dozen! 13 quilts is baker’s dozen – any idea for 14 quilts?? Reed’s quilt is just beautiful. I love his setting and know he is going to get rave reviews from the judges.

Beautiful!
Now seeing the cover it was worth the wait! I enjoyed reading the stories of the women in your previous book, and I am sure I will enjoy these stories just as much. Prayers for Diane in Canada. A mini quilt retreat sounds like just the ticket. Ready for the Dirty Dozen. I have changed the projects a FEW times. Thanks to another reader for planning leader and ender projects along the way. I took the Bonnie Hunter rails and checkerboard quilt off the list and am keeping it a leader and ender. I have worked off and on with it and a 4-patch quilt. I am keeping those two quilts as leader-ender projects and I can add two more UFOs to my Dirty Dozen! 13 quilts is baker’s dozen – any idea for 14 quilts?? Reed’s quilt is just beautiful. I love his setting and know he is going to get rave reviews from the judges.
Great cover, when will it be available?
Dorothy Howard – next winter sometime.
Love the colors. I can’t wait.
I love the colors in the quilt on the cover of your new book. Can’t wait to see the rest of the quilts.
Love the new book cover. You girls are so talented.
Oh My! Such a beauty on the cover! Definitely want to do this one. Can’t wait to see what other yummy quilts are inside. I need more sewing hours…lol! Plus, I enjoy all your adventures, Mary, especially the ones to the thrift stores. Looking forward to your new book! 😊
Really looking forward to the new book, it looks to be fascinating. Will it be out soon?
Kathy Hanson – not till next winter
I simply cannot wait for the new book. Now I have something to look forward to.
Call me …….. melting in Emmet County! 🙂
I can’t wait for the new books. Prayers for Diane in Canada…..
What a gorgeous photo! The teals, reds and golds in the quilt are beautiful. I’ve never seen a prettier cover. Can’t wait to get the book in my hands. Congrats, Connie and Mary!!!
Janine – Connie gets all the credit for this quilt!
