Catching up again!

Well here I go again, trying to catch up instead of getting ahead!

Want to share some photos with you of my last few events.  First are pics from the MCEO Quilt Show at the "Barn" where I had a vending table.  Was a great weekend and met a lot of new quilters as well as many friends.   Also enjoyed viewing the beautiful quilts.  Many of them were done by my friends and students.

Next I have some photos from my "Book Tour" for the Kanawha Valley Libraries.  I visited the libraries in Charleston, St. Albans, and Sissonville, WV.  It was a great tour.  Very successful, lots of attendees, and lots of fun!  Thank you Kim for inviting me!

Where have I been? Where am I going?

Yes I have been remiss is posting updates to my adventures.  Family emergencies and duties have taken priority.  I will be sure to update with photos and information as soon as I get back....where am I going?

Taking "Square-agonals" on the road again! Off to Charleston, St.Albans, and Sissonville, WV to do a book tour in the libraries of Kanawha Valley. Will be doing a lecture/trunk show/book signing.....photos will follow!

I will have a vendor booth and will be doing Square-agonals demos and book signings.

Quilt Cruise for "Sew Many Places" Feb/Mar 2011

WOW! Talk about a grand time!  Put together the opportunity to teach on a quilt cruise to the Caribbean, throw in the opportunity to teach my new technique "Square-agonals", add fifteen sweet lovable ladies, stir in perfect tropical weather.....and you have the trip to dream of!

We really did have a great cruise.  Jim West, owner of "Sew Many Places" joined us and it gave me a chance to meet him.  What a great, energetic guy he is!  My co-teacher in this adventure was Patti Hempen from Texas.  We both have different quilt talents so the students really learned a lot!

I love you girls! and Scott and Megan and Jim!  Here a few pictures, more will follow in the days to come.

Pine Tree Quilt Shop

Oh what fun was had on saturday at the Pine Tree Quilt Shop inWaynesburg, Pa.  Linda is such a dear and runs a very friendly cozy shop.  We had a class for the "Square-agonals" 9-Patch Table Runner and here are the photos of the ladies with their table runners.

Great job ladies!
