I would love to introduce you to my friend Zlaty, who now lives in my homestate of PA. She is expecting a baby, and she loves quilting. You can visit her blog at Zlaty Sews. Now, just sit back, have a cuppa, and enjoy her interview. I am presenting it today, as tomorrow, I will be leaving very early for the hospital. Please do visit Zlaty, you won't regret it...she is a sweetheart and such a talent
ed lady.Interview:
Name: My Name is Zlatka Boyd but people call me Zlaty. In Bulgarian my name means "golden".
A Bit About Me: I was born in Bulgaria, but I live in PA, USA now. I am expecting my first child in January. Before moving to the US, I graduated from a clothing design school in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. After moving here, I learned about quilting from my mother-in-law and now its my passion! I recently published my first quilting design, "Candy Table Runner".
What Inspires Me: I am inspired by nature. I always take my camera with me when I go for my daily walks and when I travel. My favorite outdoor scenery is by the ocean.
What I Love To Do Most Creatively: I love to quilt, what a surprise! ;-)
My Favorite Fabric and Designer: I love bright fabrics and don't really have a favorite designer. If I had to pick one, I would say I am fond of Heather Bayley's fabric.
UFO I Intend To Finish: I am working right now on a binding for a baby quilt I am going to use as a wall hanging for the nursery. Of course, I have several projects in the works. Currently, I have a blue and yellow quilt on my quilting frame.
What's on the Design Wall:Nothing right now.I'm working to finish a couple of projects, so I am concentrating on quilting some of the quilt tops I have done.
Who Would I Love to Meet:I would love to meet some of my blogging friends!
If I Had One Wish: I would wish that my family could live close by. I miss them often.
Plans for the Future:Having my baby; the sooner, the better! :-) I plan to design & publish more quilting patterns in the near-future.
Thank you!
What a nice interview Zlaty and thanks so much for being such a special star!!! I know everyone will love seeing the pics of your work.

Good luck at the hospital tomorrow, Micki. I am hoping someday to meet Zlaty when I go to PA.
I loved your star of the month. She is so young and talented.
You mentioned Dresden plates - somewhere this past week somebody took that design and turned it into table mats .
I hope you get some Good News tomorrow at the doctors! I will keep you in my prayers.It certainly seems that you have the "Luck of the Irish" But the challenges of life!
I would say that you have to go to the doctor -but - I AM GLAD that I have had the chance to meet you and that because of you -you inspire people to reach for their dreams.
