Where does the time go?  We have been blessed with family visiting this spring and summer.  Our family is small so when we get to spend precious time together it is a great joy.  We are already planning fall visits and celebrations, graduations and yes, even Christmas.  I hope your summer is filled with equally enjoyable travels and company.

Of course there are a lot of quilting events on the calendar. ( CHECK BULLETIN BOARD )  The big Quilt Festival in Long Beach is just a week away and although I have not had the pleasure of going I understand that is a showcase to behold.  Those of us that can not attend have to wait patiently for the pictures in the quilt publications in the fall but they can only give you a glimpse as photography can not capture all the details. So go if you can. 

It is also time to sign up for classes at Road to California and Quilting at the Lake – two January events that classes fill early.  Road of course is complete with an over the top quilt show and LOTS of vendors for the fabric maniacs that we are, while Quilting at the Lake is a smaller but rewarding event.  January in Lake Havasu is beautiful!  They will be having a quilt display and a shop hop of local merchants.  It is not too soon to be making plans.

My big plan this fall is to attend the School of Threadology at Superior Threads in Utah.  Three days of immersion in “Thread”  Rainbows, So Fine!, King Tut oh the colors and magic of thread.  Can’t wait to share the news, the tips and help you choose the perfect thread to enhance your projects.

I want to continue to thank my loyal customers.  Your work continues to amaze and inspire me.  My days in my studio are never boring.  I learn from you every day.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

                                   Happy Quilting!
