Greetings! We are home briefly in the middle of our very busy year. John and I have been home for a grand total of 37 days since January 2nd, and I for one am looking forward to getting some sewing time soon! It's all good, though. We had a great tour to Australia - mostly in Queensland - and a terrific visit to Washington State Quilters guild in Spokane. Then we headed south to Boulder Colorado for a taping of The Quilt Show with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson! So, we've been pretty busy this summer (winter for you Aussies!). Time for a rest soon..... But first, we have 3 1/2 weeks in England coming up! It'll be our first time at the huge Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. I can't wait. Happy quilting,
Cathy |

The Quilt Show We've just returned from Boulder Colorado, where I did a taping of The Quilt Show. This is Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson's on-line TV quilting program. It was a very fun day! I demonstrated my Mock Mola Appliqué technique to Ricky, showed Alex how to make a Notan "Exploded Square" design, sang a few songs, and had some fun with Justin. They are planning to air the show in November. I'll let you know when as soon as I know! (I've blogged about it, of course!)

What I'm Working On
. I have so many ideas to try when we finish the tour to England! I'm still working on hexagons, but not much else just now. Hungry to get back into my sewing room! . Next up: a quilt for Fern's granddaughter, who is very much into horses. Fern was our office helper for 10 years, and I'm so happy I can make something for her! |
