WHERE did summer go??

 WOW!
I looked up and it is September already:)
Hopefully this means that your summer was 
as busy and fun as mine was and you are 
just as surprised as I am.

Since I last wrote, this is what I 
have been up to...

VEGAS
Gondola ride
I will never get to actual Venice so a gondola ride 
at the Venetian was lovely especially when 
you have the BEST singer in the whole city
and you are with your best friend and love!

Friends together
Here is my lovely crew waiting
to get in to see Santana!
I knew I knew a few songs BUT,
I knew way more and had an 
awesome night dancing with 
my sweet sweet Della!!

Bellagio Floral art
When in Vegas, you must go see
the exhibit at the Bellagio!
They were still setting up and allowed
people to walk around and look at 
everything while in process.

ATLANTA SYMPOSIUM

Here is our awesome group at the 
Cathy Glover presented a FAB lecture
on polyester quilts.
So Much to learn!
I hope to have an opportunity
to go again. These meet ups always
offer an opportunity to nerd out about
quilting and meet new friends.

JULY TRIP TO MOM/KIDS
In July my husband and I went 
to visit mom and get a few things
done around the house. The 
weather did NOT cooperate.
After, we headed to NC to visit
the whole fam:) of both girls, 
their guys, and my little man!!
One day we met mom halfway
so she could spend some time 
with her great grandson!
He is learning how to blow bubbles!

AUG-FQSG & KID VISIT
Quilt study with quilts
Another FAB opportunity to meet old
and new friends for a day of quilt study.
Led by our fearless Kathy Cray and Teddy Pruett
we learned about early 20th century quilts 
and our members never disappoint on show/tell!

FIRST VIRTUAL CLASS
Fabric collaborations samples
I ventured in the world of virtual teaching!
I was a bit worried about the tech but
the students were awesome and I 
couldn't have wished for a better first experience.


MAGAZINES
I was in a few magazines this summer:)
Hope you received a couple of them
or go look for them.
All of these publications offer 
so much for today's quilter!
BottleBrushBursts quilt in Quiltmania
Meet, "Bottle Brush Burst" in Quiltmania!
So excited to be in this issue and their staging
is so cool!
A subscription to this magazine would
be so worth it...great articles and exhibit
pictures of quilt shows over seas.

CharaMums quilt in AQmagazine
Meet, "Chara Mums" in AQ magazine.
This staging was beyond!!! 
I love Autumn and I just want to live
in this space:)
If you aren't a member, you should be:)


First Christmas in Annies Winter magazine
Meet "First Christmas" in 
the special issue by 
With a new little in the 
family it is only natural that
thoughts would turn to 
sweet Christmas.
This issue has so much more
than quilts though.

THANK YOU to all the publications
who continue to choose my designs
and work with me!
I am forever grateful:)
