WHOOSH!

Busy Season!

Fall is off with a BANG!

And I am behind on my posts!  Ready for the abbreviated versions?

Quilter's Take Manhattan, happened! WOOT! What fun was that!  
We Wrapped up QTM, with the After Dark Party here, (Nothing like having a 100 quitters in your home at once, let me tell you!) 





and then, I got up the next morning, early, to fly to Boston to catch a big CRUISE SHIP!


I taught on the Royal Caribbean, Road to California Cruise for world of travel quilts, up the eastern coast to Portland, Bar Harbor, St. John, and Halifax! I had never taught on a cruise before... I can tell you, that after QTM, I was glad to have three days to SLEEP, EAT, and SLEEP some more...before I actually taught.

Want to join us in JANUARY??
We had loads of fun, and next time it will be a WARM cruise!!




My best Bud, Shelly, also taught on the cruise, and Yes, I can tell you, we had a very, very fun time...


We hit rain in Halifax, but otherwise it was a lovely trip!
 Two massages, four ports and four classes later...
We wrapped up for a farewell party with some show and tell from the week...  


I taught a Double Wedding Ring Class and also my 15 Minutes of play class in 3 hour slots...
This was a very productive bunch!  Skills were mastered and fears were tossed out to sea! ;-)



One of the biggest highlights of the cruise was unexpected... being able to sit and watch the moon from our stateroom window for over and hour. Clear as a bell floating out her over the waters....
Priceless...




So, I came home Sunday to unpack, 
and repack, 
as I head to Missouri Star Quilt Co, tomorrow! 
(Wednesday!)

Jenny and I, along with Sizzix are doing a retreat weekend, and also may open to the public events around town Thursday, Friday and Saturday!

 I am also doing a Three hour Curved piecing class

Come say hi! We will be having all kinds of fun!

I have another thing I've been working on frantically over here the last 10 days...


I'll share about that when I get back... I gotta wash my clothes and repack!

See you in MO!

  1. Whew! I hope you are taking your vitamins!

    You have an incredibly amusing typo, by the way. It reads that you had 100 quitters in your loft. I can't decide if this is the most inaccurate typo given the persistence it takes to complete a quilt. Or the most accurate given the number of unfinished or abandoned quilts most of us have!
