Quilting Retreats on the Go – the terrific business and owners Dottie Montgomery & Jean Welker offer quilt retreats in numerous locations. This year, I taught a Quick Broken Star workshop for Dottie & Jean on Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas. What a ship!!  Our workshop conference room was WONDERFUL – spacious, great lighting, plenty of table space and seating.

Here is the first photo album of our workshop – I am trying to get all the photos uploaded for your reference. Enjoy!

I have just returned from 4 wonderful days in the greater Atlanta area. I taught 3 workshops, each in a different location– and presented a trunk show / talk on Saturday in Peachtree City.

If you’ve never heard about Peachtree City, Georgia, it is a planned community with golf courses and paved golf cart trails throughout the town. Friends Judi and Catriona came to give me a fun afternoon ride to Judi’s home! Don’t you love Catriona’s cute quilt & totebag?

Hurrah! I feel so victorious! My new Quick Star Quilts & Beyond book has arrived! C&T sent a beautiful live plant, which arrived about an hour before the book. What a great day this is!

Color Stripes blog

I am frequently hunting for fresh ideas, fascinated by color, and I stumbled across a great blog today – look at Color Stripes – an interior designer artist’s inspiration and color palettes. http://color-stripes.blogspot.com/
