For the past few years, I have been delighted to write a monthly column for the Piecemaker's Quilt Guild of Central Wisconsin newsletter.  What started out as a motivational, informational type of essay has morphed into more of a "tongue-in-cheek" look at the life of a quilt-maker. The ladies continue to seem interested, and a number of husbands have been known to sit and read the newsletter too.  I am posting some past columns on this page.  Feel free to use them for your guild's newsletters, but please provide a note directing them to our site.  I'll try to update them on a regular basis.    Lyn
