    Not much funny about April Fools day pranks. I wonder who thought to start such a thing. Scrapbooking ~ ha!

    You totally got me with that joke. In fact I was still thinking about it this morning, how sad I was going to be that I couldn't see your new stuff. Funny!

    i knew you couldn't give up quilting for scrapbooking! Now, documenting the quilts you have made…that might qualify.

  11. I'm glad it's a joke!
    Love your designs and hate to see you go!
    Thank you!

    Leah you really got me too – I was worried about your mental health! Scrapbooking indeed! Glad you're sticking around.

  13. Suzanne says:

    Funnily enough I thought it might have been an April Fool's Day prank, you did have me slightly fooled as in Oz we are a day ahead and your blog for me came on the 2nd of April!
    I am so glad you are continuing on, you really do inspire me to do better at quilting. On a side note – there is nothing wrong with scrapbooking! I actually happen to do both and love them both for the every different hobbies that they are. 🙂

  14. Pamela says:

    Leah, you are bad, bad, bad. Or good, I guess, because you are the only one that got a prank over on me yesterday! Good one! I am so glad you haven't thrown quilting over for scrap-booking.

  15. Barb says:

    You totally had me fooled and I've only just found your blog recently. Shame on you! LOL

  16. Dianne says:

    ha ha…good one 😉

    Thank goodness. I was patiently awaiting your follow-up post.

    Oh so funny! I had compiled a note saying how much I understood but just a wee sad – lol. My daughter always gets me on April Fools Day but this year, you trumped her! You are amazing and inspirational.

  19. When I saw you were quitting, I thought "I don't blame her, it's a hard thing to do" and deleted you from my favorites. The next day I came back to comment on how much I enjoyed your work, and saw it was a prank. I hope you didn't lose too many followers.
    I do enjoy your work. I'm glad you're going on. Thank you for all the good ideas. Rebecca

    LOL. I loved it! I knew you couldn't give it up.

    I came home from a guild meeting and told Frank someone had backed into my SUV. He rushed out to look at the damage. Came back in a few minutes later to ask me if I was OK and went out again. After 20 minutes or so I had to go out and tell him it was an April Fool's Joke. Silly man…..and his birthday is April 2nd so it isn't like he doesn't know already!

    THANK YOU! Your blog has given me the inspiration to tackle this skill even though I too do not have one of those fancy machines! Off to shop. Justine

    Wow I'm very happy that wasn't true!
    In Italy kidding in the 1st day of April is named "Pesce d'aprile" -April fish-.
    Thank you Leah that it wasn't true!
