Terry’s Thoughtful Thursday - May 17 2007

What a week! It is finally sunny and warm here in beautiful northeastern Oklahoma and my small patio garden (that puts out an unbelievable amount of veggies!) is in the ground and ready to begin growing. I will not even begin to tell you how this is the second one for this year… which is why I am sure glad it is sunny and warm now! Before long, I will be feasting on tomatoes, bell peppers, cantaloupe, cucumbers, and yellow straightneck squash. I learned long ago to not plant things I would not eat; as it simply went to waste! Even now, I leave excess veggies on the counters of my favorite restaurants and/or give away to friends and family. This little garden packs a huge punch, so do not let appearance be deceiving!! And flowers!
My yard is just now celebrating spring with its gorgeous buds and blooms, of which I have scattered photographs throughout today’s article; my first clematis, first old-fashioned rose (which smell sooooooooooo good), and my wild buttercups (would you believe I picked two or three year before last and planted them and now they are EVERYWHERE???).The final count on the project, “Comforting Virginia“, is six (6) quilts. Delivery Confirmation shows that these quilts are beginning to show up at Virginia Tech. I have to wonder what the person opening these packages is thinking about the beautiful quilts sent from compassionate hearts all over the USA. Again, thank you to each that contributed to this tragic event.
Unless I change my mind (which seems to happen quite frequently these days!), I am going to begin highlighting a quilt-related project found on the Internet (or one in which I have designed) on Fridays. What I have not decided yet is whether this will be every week or bi-weekly. I am thinking weekly, at the moment, so watch for the first one this coming Friday.
A few other things that you can look forward to? I have three (3) interviews with major Web site owners set up! These will be published on May 21, May 28, and June 4. I am really excited about these and hope that you enjoy reading them. Two are still surprises, but one of them is with Jodie Davis, President of QNN.
Speaking of QNN, there have been a few changes, with many more planned. The biggest change is that it is now under new ownership! QNN TV, formerly called QNN, was purchased by the owners of the magazine, Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting, New Track Media LLC. With the sale of QNN in April 2007, Jodie joined the New Track Media team. Stay tuned to this QBD for more information in the coming weeks!
How’s your thoughtful Thursday going?

LOL! That was the first thing that I did, Huck. I knew the soil from last year was void of nutrients, etc. Glad you came through Oklahoma on your way to Vegas. Did I thank you for tilling my garden for me?
