QuiltFest Jacksonville FL

      

I thought I would post some of the quilts at the show that caught my attention. Remember there is no rhythm or reason why I like a quilt, I just do. Enjoy.

Birmingham Student work

I really enjoyed the class in Birmingham, came home and immediately finished the quilt, which I'm very pleased with. Hope you enjoyed your trip and had a good journey home.
Best wishes,

The Quilt Show

I have recently been in Boulder CO, filming for the Quilting Show with Ricky Timms and Alex Anderson. What a fun and relaxed set they run. I had a fun time filming my episode with them, which will air in the spring. I will let you know the dates as it approaches, but here are a few pictures to entice you to watch.

Terri Hancock Mangat filmed the day before I did, here she is on the set with Alex.

One of the producers Lilo, and the set with my quilts hanging.

They have a live audience for the show, that is really nice.

If any of you go to Ricky’s booth at any of the shows you know Justin. Here he is warming up the crowd before Alex interviews the senior editor of Better Homes and Garden’s Quilts and More, Jennifer Keltner standing in the back with Alex.

Summer Rain

In the current issue of Fons and Porter is this wonderful seasonal quilt called “Summer Rain”

I know you will enjoy making this quilt. It was inspired by the car trip taken every spring down highway 57 from Chicago to Paducah. As you leave the Chicago area it is still cool and only the daffodils and tulips have bloomed, but as you head south on the highway everything begins to turn really green and the Red Bud trees are blooming. It is truly an amazing ride that breaths hope and happiness in your soul.

Spring Rain

Spring Rain, is in the current issue of Fons and Porter Magazine. It is a great beginning project to try out. I will be posting the fabric kit on line soon.

The rest of my teaching schedule for the year.

 

This is where and when I will be teaching for the rest of the year. You can  view my classes on line at my website. But if you are in the area for any of these events please stop by and say hello, or better yet see if there are any openings in any of my classes and try to get in. We have fun in class and I know you would love being in class with us.
