Month: June 2011

I am here at MCI airport waiting to go home….there is no place like home…today’s workshops were also a good time…my students all passed and got to keep their little charm pack for good behavior…lol…here is what they were working on…

Here are the other two workshops that were happening today!

Stacy from Buttermilk Basin and Rene from Liberty Star with my new Gardening friend JoAnne

Friday at Primitives of the Midwest was full of fun and stitching….everyone was learning and having a ball at the same time. Here are some pics of my workshop as well as Linda Hall’s, (now known as Linda Doll) Maggie’s and Stacy West’s workshops.

Last night after teaching the “Wool” class we all went out to Greenwood MO…to antique shop and eat at the good Italian restaurant that we always eat at…it is fun to hang out with all the other teachers and students who come year after year and then the new students who are most excited to be here….we had a few glasses of wine and just gabbed…like we were all longtime friends and known each other for many years…it is amazing to me how easily it is to make friends JUST because we are quilters…there are limitless discussions and of unlimited topics to be discussed….then Rene got reprimanded by the hotel staff to keep it down and we soon departed, for tomorrow was another day of fun, I mean work… (smile)…..LIfe is good!
Here are my new treasures I will be bringing home…it’s been a long time since I got to antique shop….oh hey…$55 bucks for the quilt top…..SCORE, just happens to be the same pattern I am Hand piecing……

All for now….LB

I should be in the shower right now getting ready for my next workshop….I wish I could get away with slapping on the deodorant and combing my hair, but my hair is always looks like I had a rough nite, which we know is not happening… Here are the photos I promised last night…the quilts are all coming up in issues of American Patchwork&Quilting mag….Jennifer showed off her FINISHED table mat from my class last year in the first pic…AWESOME!…the following pics were from class yesterday…14 students made Patiently waiting…one gal made the robin into a cardinals!.
