beyond the reef: Amy Ellis is here! Amy Ellis is here!

Amy Ellis is here!

Amy seems to be a constant in my quilting life

she wrote the very first book I ever reviewed for Martingale/That Patchwork Place

long before we ever met

she participated in some of the compilation books of which I was lucky enough to contribute

and then one day she was the big sister I was calling on

for quilting advice

regardless of how much Amy has going on at any given time in her OWN life

she always seems to be able to graciously still have time for friends

and

and....

okay, you get my point

and there was Amy Ellis.

peacefully, quietly, standing shoulder to shoulder with me.

she was just

and that, my friends, is Amy Ellis.

'nuff said.

head on over to Amy's site - there is a whole lot going on!!
