Thanks for your patience, everyone! I finally had enough of a voice today to record a podcast, and we had a lot of catching up to do! In this episode: a few announcements, catching up on the Quilting Gallery 4th Birthday Blog Hop, the Boxing Day Sew-In, and my thoughts on donation (aka charity) quilting. Plus, a new Flickr group and ongoing giveaways announced.

Don't forget the 2012 Quilting Resolutions Giveaway!
