A New Beginning

It has been awhile since I have posted.  I have a few "new" things going on in my life.  First and foremost I have a new job.  I'm working for a dental clinic in Menomonee Falls.  I worked a bit last week but, I officially start on Feb. 10th.  I'm really excited to get back into the dental field.
I'm still going to be teaching some classes and giving some lectures.
I have some classes at Ben Franklin in Oconomowoc coming up this spring.  You can see them here.

So I think after these the rest of the year I might be taking a bit of a sabbatical.  I plan on a trip to Houston at the end of Oct. for the International Quilt Show.  

I'm hoping to hear from Quilt Expo and IQA Chicago.  

I will be giving a lecture at the Winter Quilt Show in West Bend.  Sat. Feb. 22  For more info on that show go here.

And for those of you looking for Bigfork Bay Patterns Anne has been nice enough to carry some in her booth on that day.  I will be giving another class on Bigfork Bay at Ben Franklin in May.  

I'm also teaching Thread Painting/Sketching at Material Matters on March 1, 2014.  

I will be keeping my job as a server at Pizza Vino for awhile or ??? I do like working there but, I don't want to burn myself out.  

Also if you or anyone you know of are interested in African fabrics.  I am selling my collection.  It is over 7 lbs. of fabric.  I'm asking $120 plus shipping.  These are high quality fabrics.  Many with gold gelding on them.  I have used what I needed and they are just taking up space in my studio.  Please contact me if you are interested.  See photos below. 

Hope to see you at one of these classes or shows.  Happy 2014!!!

It's Raining Cats And Dogs

For those of you who missed going to Houston this year... We are very lucky to have The Quilt Show to share the photos of the exhibit.  I was honored to have a quilt in this exhibit.  Along with some of the most talented artists that I have admired for years.  Here is the link for the slide show.
