I have been on so many wonderful teaching trips this year, I can not believe how

fortunate I am. I started my year in Georgetown, Texas where I taught

my ‘Shooting Stars’ workshop. I went on to Austin, Texas  to

teach ‘Road to Success with Silk’ and ‘Labyrinth’.

February took me to Little Rock, Arkansas to teach Labyrinth and Shining Star.

I met up with friends I made when I taught on the Caribbean Cruise sponsored by

 Stitchin Heaven quilt shop, and made more friends. The snow storms

cancelled my trip to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas but I will go there next year.

The end of February I taught at the Quilt Box right here in Graham.

March was Ponca City, Oklahoma; Wichita, Kansas and Great Falls, Montana.

I went to retreat at the Compass Centre in Mt. Calm, Texas for some

great R & R. Melissa who is the owner had done my Lyra quilt and has a kit for

it on her website. Compass Centre.com

April included Baytown, Texas; Tyler, Texas; Edmond, Oklahoma

and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This month is San Antonio where I will teach my Labyrinth class at

Seventh Heaven Quilt Shop.

Call Dixie if you want to sign up for the class.  (210) 822-9980

Can you understand why I may be a little tired? I just want you to be able to

see how much fun we have in guild and quilt shop workshops, and

we also get a lot done.I forgot to mention my trip to New York in January

for a fabulous Martha Stewart Dreamers into Doers event.

I am adding new ribbons to my website for anyone looking for very

unusual ribbons to embellish quilts, table runners or whatever suits your fancy.

Shop owners contact me for information on getting patterns

or ribbons for your shop.
