First up is Carrie Nelson of "Miss Rosie's Quilt Co"

You LOVE Carrie don't you?... I do!

Above is Carrie binding her quilt on Saturday.

Carrie said "I wasn't going anywhere and I was in my comfy sweat pants. 

And I was watching the playoff hockey game" see her feet?

 What quilt is on your bed?
 
The quilt on my bed right now is one from the last Schnibbles book ~ a version of Two Percent that didn't make the book because it wasn't going to match the instructions ~ I made some changes along the way. 
 
What is your favorite TV show or Movie?
 
My favorite TV show is The Closer.  And yes, I am very, very sad that it is ending this Summer.  Just so you know, I think Chief Will Pope is the mole. 

 
Do you sneak cookies in bed or keep a hidden stash of chocolate the family can't find?
 
I don't sneak cookies in bed but there is a big jar of cookies in the bedroom.  Except they aren't mine.  Rosie (Carrie's awesome dog) gets a treat before bedtime, and she never lets me forget.  As for a chocolate stash, it isn't a problem in this house.  My Mom and I like different things so there is always a supply of Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter cups from Trader Joe's for her, and a box of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cups from Trader Joe's for me... though my Mom has been known to eat both.
