I've been away from here for a long time, but I had to give Amazon this "website" in order to become an affiliate.
I think all of you know that I am a Youtuber now, and I do not do much blogging. I'm going to insert my last few videos here so you can check them out if you haven't already seen them.
Those should keep you busy for awhile, lol.
Join us for the new JoyViv Challenge starting January 1st. Watch for a new video explaining it all on January 1st.
Sew along with me and Lauren as we make the Dondi Top. It may be a few weeks before we see Lauren's pretty face again, but she is ready to sew when we meet again.
God bless you all, and join me over on Youtube. Just search "Joy Bernhardt".
NO MORE TIME TO ENTER -- WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN TODAY (6-17-19)
The time has come to give away this funky quilt one of you named for me as the Joyful Zig Zag Quilt.
Remember: Put your NAME in the comment. I don't know who "unknown" is.
Remember: It is QUEEN size.
Remember: You must live in the United States to be eligible to win it.
Here is a photo of it:
You can see the quilt again here in a short video I made today regarding it.
Here is what I want you to do please.
In the comments BELOW, please BEGIN your comment with:
JZZQ
for "Joyful Zig Zag Quilt". (Think of it as a pattern number.)
You can say whatever you want to after you type those letters in. Those letters will tell me you want to win this quilt, and you are not just leaving a comment.
THOSE are the ONLY comments I will count to choose a winner from. I will get a lot of comments from people who are not interested in winning this Queen size monster. I will not count those comments.
So, let the fun begin!
Who wants to win this quilt?
Click below on "Comments" (it may have a number in front of it), type the JZZQ first and then add whatever you would like to say.
I WILL CHOOSE THE WINNER OF THIS QUILT ON MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2019, SO NO MORE COMMENTS TO WIN AFTER 6-16-19.
So glad you found me here at my BLOG. I haven't been here for a long time.

I also like to watch the Dollar Store hacks using everyday items for storage or organization although I am quite organized as it is.
Occasionally, I watch cooking channels, but I prefer to just search for a recipe.
If any of you watch someone regarding sewing, quilting, styling or aging that I don't know about, I would love to have the Youtube name from you.
Here is my VLOG where I talk about this BLOG:
I better get back to organizing all the new fabric I received recently from my friend Mary and from Fabric Mart Fabrics. I'm a little ticked at FMF because they have sent several pieces with flaws lately. I emailed them about one, but I have not heard back.
If I have any followers at all left here in Bloggerville, I hope you know that I make a lot of videos these days over at Youtube. I enjoy making the videos, but it takes one or more entire nights to upload them from my Kingston home. I actually have a 30 minute video I made yesterday. I uploaded it all night last night, and it made it to the 50% mark. Before we go to bed tonight, I will start it again.
But
Until then
I want to talk to you.
My hubby, Jerry, isn't much for talking when it is basketball season. He loves the OKC Thunder, and he never misses a game. We are both sitting on our elevating head and foot bed right now. He is watching a recorded Thunder game. Super boring to me, although I pretend to sort of be interested. They play SO MANY games! Ugh.
I, on the other hand, am sitting up with this laptop in my lap typing. I have already seen all the videos I am interested in, plus a lot I am not interested in. I have watched so many videos on how to cure Plantar Fasciitis that I am shocked it seems to be such a common malady. Even my friends Terry and Phylly have had it. Yay! They HAD it! That gives me hope for sure as I sit here on this bed with a splint on each of my feet turning my toes up at a 90 degree angle to my leg.
This is a VERY SPECIAL week in my life. This is the week I RETIRE! Yes! And the really awesome thing about it is my BFF, Phylly, retires the exact same day I do! What are the chances? We are very excited. We plan to get together at least once a month, and we will attempt to make videos. We may not teach you a lot, but we will keep you laughing.
See this video if you haven't already:
If THAT didn't make you laugh, I am sorry. It is so rejuvenating to laugh until you nearly pee your pants. Phylly and I both really needed a fun day. It was very refreshing even though neither one of us got much accomplished.
Good night my friends. I'll start my new video as soon as this basketball game ends, and maybe you can watch it tomorrow. There is a "game" to play at the end of it. You could win a surprise from me.
