  • WOW and WOW. What a great achievement. I was feeling pretty good about my achievements till I read this. VBG. How on earth do you keep track of what you did? Great job.

  • Wow! Any category alone would be awesome, but together, they’re mind-boggling.

    Is sleep going to be on your list of goals for this year? hehehe

    Amazing Mary! I’m not sure how you accomplish all this and still sleep, eat and clean and blog too. If you have any scheduling tips or secrets to share I would love to hear them. Also, what vitamins do you take? You are the most prolific quilter I know! If there is an award for volunteering, inspiration and just plain nice! You deserve it! I love reading your blog!

  • Good grief, I’m tired just from reading what you achieved in 2009.

    And you seem to enjoy it all. Aren’t we so lucky to have found what we love to do and are able to do it! I think about that a lot.
    So glad you got to have time with your boys, our ‘after Christmas’ Christmas was lovely as well with ours. I just sit and look at the kids together and smile. :)

  • WOW! You were very busy last year. Are you planning on topping that list this year? Great job on all your quilting, it’s beautiful. I hope everyone appreciates all the time and effort you put in to this “hobby”.
