Woot! A Sandy Update is followed by sharing all the really, really wonderful comments y'all left for the 100th episode giveaway. Some of you were very funny, some of you were extremely profound, some of you made me choke up a little bit. Little did I know what I was starting by asking that simple question: What would you like 100 of in your life? Thanks for listening for the last 100 episodes, and I hope you'll stick with me (and maybe invite some friends!) for the next 100!

Episode 84 In Which We Talk with Tiffany of Quilter's Corner 3-22-12
Thursday Mar 22, 2012
Thursday Mar 22, 2012
(In the podcast, I mistakenly refer to this as episode 85. Sorry! It's episode 84!) I had the happy happenstance of meeting Tiffany Sherman at a lunch table at Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, VA, in February. Making small talk, I discovered that Tiffany had recently become owner of "Quilter's Corner" quilt shop in Midlothian, Virginia, and that she came from a very interesting artistic background. She was gracious enough to let me interview her on the fly and I'm thrilled to share with you the conversation! Also in this episode: Sandy Update, Two Year Podcastaversary Announcement, Listener comments, and "Quilting is a Dangerous Sport!"--a listing of listeners' injuries, mishaps, and mayhem. Listener, beware!
