Upcoming Classes

News for May 2013

Just a quick note to tell you what a great weekend I just had with my students at the 2013 Mother's Day Retreat here in Harpswell, Maine. Friday and Saturday were lots of fun (though too short, of course). Thanks to the gals for making my job such a pleasure! For those of you who would like take a class with me this summer or fall, read below for a description of the retreats upcoming.

One of my favorite memories of this retreat will be of hosting my students in my new studio. Not quite finished but such a nice place to display my work.

And for those of you in the mid-west who can't make it to Maine, I'll be teaching at the National Quilting Association Annual Show in Columbus, Ohio, June 27-29. There's still space available. Visit http://nqaquiltshow.org/show/ClassIndex to sign up for one of my classes.

Hello to the New Studio

After more than four months of labor, my new studio is nearing completion! Just a few finishing touches then I'll be ready to move in and start creating. This will be a great way to refire my creative furnace after a short hiatus.

My commute remains short. For those of you who remember, the new structure rests exactly where my studio yurt used to be--a few short steps from my front door. While I will always remember the yurt fondly, the new space is a great step up.
