Saying goodbye...


Saying goodbye is never easy.

Today was especially hard.

Once in a while you meet a wonderful person, a person that makes your soul blossom. Someone who brightens your day. Someone who makes you giggle. Someone who strengthens your spirit without even knowing it. I feel so lucky to have spent a little time with such a sweet person. Goodbye Patsy... I will miss you so very much.

Classes

Hello out there! A little note about some upcoming classes I will be teaching if you live in my area.


American Quilting in Orem, Utah has been kind enough to host me for another Rosie Tweet class. This will be a group of classes designed to teach you every thing you need to know to make the Rosie Tweet Quilt. We will focus on block construction, and use my method of applique along with some prepared applique methods. This class starts next week so give them a call if you are interested.


After much asking...I will be teaching at Thimbles and Threads in Draper in mid September. This class is a machine quilting class using a pattern from "Don't Look Now" designer Kellie Wulfsohn. I was so lucky to have been taught by this amazing woman this past May. I admire her work so very much and I was lucky enough to get an okay from her to teach. I am no Kellie... but I/we will muddle our way through using her pattern and instructions. I have been quilting my own quilts for a couple of years now, truth be known I was inspired by her, and I think I have improved with her instruction. Have faith, I will teach you everything I know (it won't take long.)


I will also be teaching a couple of classes at My Sister's Quilts in Riverton. There are a few Pretty Pinny Pincushion classes, and a four part class for Cherry Tweet. If you have been wanting to make some christmas gifts....or, would like to get started on your Cherry Tweet quilt, join us!!!


I am also working on a new class to be held at Quilts Etc. in Sandy. For now it may be another Rosie Tweet class. If you have any ideas about what you would like to learn from me, let me know! Maybe we can fit it in too.


Until next time...
