Welcome to my first newsletter! I
promise I won't deluge your inbox with irrelevant information, but once
in a while there are things I would like to let you know about.
John and I have had a very busy year to date, with a 4-month tour around the perimeter of the USA, plus a few dates in eastern and central Canada. Highlights were the Virginia Consortium of Quilters conference in Wirtz, Virginia, and "Quilting in the Quarry", the Minnesota Quilt Show in St. Cloud. After doing 40 concerts and 12
workshops, we got home in early July and I had a month to do the final
preparations for recording a new CD of quilting songs. We flew to
Toronto for 2-1/2 weeks to record with Paul Mills at the Millstream
Studio. It is our fourth project with him - we really like working
there! |
The
recording went very smoothly, and I'm thrilled with the result.
As we finalized the album artwork, I was also getting ready to teach aboard Holland America's ms. Zuiderdam on its way to Alaska. I went along with Susan Purney-Mark and Daphne Grieg on our third quilting cruise together.
