INTRODUCTION
OK, so after listening to this podcast I realized a couple of things: I need to remember to use my pop filter, and I need to talk more to flesh out a couple of segments, especially the descriptions of the various projects. I just don't want to blab on about stuff that might bore you to tears... Hey, I'm still learning! Please bear with me!
Today's theme is Tree of Life, which I had planned to use in each of the segments. Life itself got in the way, however, and instead of my originally planned apple recipe in the Recipe Segment, I'm giving you a recipe for my mom's yummy Raisin Filled Cookies. You won't be disappointed!
Thanks to everyone who kindly commented on my blog, emailed me, and especially mentioned my new podcast on their own podcast!
Here is a photo of the quilt I was commissioned to make. It is part of my Icon Quilt series, and is called Christ Pantokrator, which means "Almighty" in Greek. This image is one of the oldest icons in existence. The original is in Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai Desert. The quilt measures about 9 x 18 inches.

My sister-in-law Michelle surprised me with this quilt for my birthday last June. It is a photo of Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter from the upcoming Tim Burton movie, Alice in Wonderland (to be released in March 2010).

I listened to your podcast for the first time last night. It was so good. It was very apparent the time and effort that you put into the final product. I kept thinking all through the podcast what a talented lady you are....and then you ended it with the beautiful singing. I am more than impressed. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Best, Catherine
