I have had some inquiries as to what I have planned for this site, so that is today’s topic of discussion. Before I begin, however, I would like to thank all of you that have sent me e-mail with suggestions, ideas, and compliments. I appreciate your input!
There are quite a few things that I have up my sleeve! None of this is written in concrete, however, and as I muddle through finding out what the needs of the viewers (YOU!) are, I am prone to change direction. This Web site is all about YOU and what best serves you. With that said, let us get to the various ideas I have rolling around in my head right now!
- ARTICLES: I hope to provide you with quilt-related articles that are interesting, helpful, informative, and entertaining. At this time, I have no plans for regularly scheduled articles. Articles will arrive on your monitor as I have time, as I get suggestions, as I get ideas, as I see a need, etc.
- MYSTERIES: I hope to conduct at least one (1) mystery on this site over the next year; would like to begin it this summer.
- TIPS/TRICKS: I hope to provide you with tips and tricks to aid you in improving your quilting skills! Again, there are no plans for regularly scheduled publications, but I will provide them as I have time, get suggestions, get ideas, see a need, or learn something new myself!
- TECHNIQUES: I hope to expose you to new techniques, and maybe a few old ones that need dusted off, too. Again, there are no plans for regularly scheduled teaching sessions, but I will provide them as I have time, get suggestions, get ideas, see a need, or learn something new myself!
- TUTORIALS/HOW-TOs: I hope to provide you with tutorials teaching you how to do things that you may not do now, or, if you already do them, to help you to improve and hone your skills. Again, there are no plans for regularly scheduled publications, but I will provide them as I have time, get suggestions, get ideas, see a need, or learn something new myself!
- REVIEWS: Reviews will be scheduled to appear every other Monday. Reviews include the following:
- Web Site Reviews - 15 years ago, there were only a handfull of quilting sites online; today there are thousands! While most of these will go unnoticed, I would like to take some time to provide you with information about specific Web sites that I think you would love. When possible, I will include an interview with the Web site owner. If you have a Web site that you would like to submit for a review, please e-mail me.
- Book Reviews - Books, books, and more books! How do you know which ones are informative and well-written? How do you know which ones are geared to your level of expertise? How do you know which ones contain practical applications and projects for you? The answer? A review of the book! These books may not necessarily be the latest release; it may very well be an older book that I have discovered and would like to share with you. If you have a quilt-related book that you would like to submit for a review, please e-mail me.
- Quilting Gadget Reviews - New gadgets hit the market now at a head-spinning pace! How do you know if a gadget is worth the money? Or how do you know exactly what a specific gadget does? Or, for that matter, how do you know when a new gadget arrives that you may find useful and/or of interest? The answer? A review! New or old, I hope to provide you with quality reviews to help make your quilting life better, faster, easier, more productive, etc. If you have a quilt-related gadget that you would like to submit for a review, please e-mail me.
- TERRY’s THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY: Thursdays are designated as my day to express my thoughts. These will usually be quilting (since this is a quilting site!), with a little bit of other stuff, too. I try not to throw in much non-quilt-related stuff, though, because I know I sure do not like going to a quilting site that does not have much to say about quilting!
- PATTERNS: Whether a quilt pattern or a block pattern, I plan on providing you with some original designs, as inspiration hits me!
- QUILT RESOURCES: Quilting resources found around the Internet. There is not a regularly scheduled time for these to surface.
- SHOW ‘N TELL: A “Show ‘N Tell” gallery showcasing a variety of quilts. There is not a regularly scheduled time for these to surface.
- QUILTING PROJECTS: Projects that I either find or author, that I believe you will find enticing! These include neat ideas for gifts and special occasions. There is not a regularly scheduled time for these to surface.

Thanks, Val! I realized this week that I needed to come up with a plan of action. Now that I’m becoming more familiar and finding my niche, I’m able to put together a tentative schedule. Of course, this will change as the site evolves!
Thank you for the compliment, too! I appreciate it!
