Lovely meeting Susan. That terrible time waster. I have the same problem.
Now what is the word she most frequently uses?
Thanks for spotlighting me, Jennifer. Think I'd best go write a blindingly witty post for today now!!
Oh crikey it was a bit early for that smiley old face to appear as I scrolled down the page this morning!!
You rock Suz! Jxo
Wow Susan, you managed to drop by here on your way home from London? Impressive ;o)
We all love Susan - A Thousand Splendid Suns is one of my favourite books too.
Thanks for another intersting interview. Congratulations, Susan, on fitting into your jeans after five years! A great achievement.
I won't be grumpy about my comment like Hadley but instead will say something nice...Um....wait I'll think of something...ummmmm....Oh I know....no, that won't do.....Let's see.....Yep, yep, here it is....Susan is da bomb!!!!!
Very pretty quilt! I love it!!

I love Susan's blog. Thanks for featuring here. That wonky stars quilt is fantastic.
Susan is the best - and hilarious too!
Susan rocks, Susan rocks, Susan rocks! Her blog will always give you a giggle and her quilts will always inspire. Great spotlight :)
Love these posts - don't forget that Susan also cooks and has some lovely recipes on her blog! (And she's funny and kind, an incredible combination!)
Great post! Susan rocks :-)
That was fun.
That quilt is ADORABLE! Looks perfect for snuggling under on a night like tonight!
Oh I do love that Wonky Stars quilt - fabulous. Great to get to know Susan, a fellow Canadian. :)
Having met Susan in person, I can honestly say she's a great gal with oodles and oodles of creativity!
