I’ll be Teaching at New England Quilt Seminar Sept 2022!

 Hello and Happy New Year!  Christmas 2021 has passed…well almost!  We have another family celebration starting today and then, we’ll move on to 2022!  We have enjoyed the kids and grand babies so much this last week.  A few more days of snuggles and we’ll be back to the regular life events.  

Here’s a photo of our first half of Christmas celebration.  We’re missing my middle daughter’s family so we’ll do another official photo in the coming days with everyone!  The weather has been so nice we didn’t even need coats for the Christmas Eve church service!  We don’t get mild winter weather in Des Moines too often so it was a nice change!  

As the title of this post mentions, I will be teaching at a new event for me… the New England Quilt Seminars hosted by David Taylor Quilts.  I’m thrilled and look forward to this event so much!  12 students for 5 days to have lots of one on one time of instruction on English Paper Piecing and Applique’.  This will be awesome to really focus on improving the techniques used in the quilt.  We’ll get a huge start on the class project, Nana’s Garden Club.  This quilt has a big block center with EPP and Applique.  I love teaching Starch Basting and helping studenTs achieve excellent results.  It’s so rewarding to see the excitement of a student when they have success using the techniques I love.  ❤️

Join me won’t you?  Registration is February 11th.  Click HERE for detailed info!  The New England Quilt Seminars is help in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire and looks to be a beautiful setting!  I hope to see you there!

 Today is the day for your Special Delivery!  (Free for a short while!)  When I was young I was a very inexperienced gardener.  I finally found these whimsical blue flowers called Morning Glories and discovered they grow easily!  So I dumped the whole seed packet in the large mailbox flower box.  🤣  I discovered my husband was picking them as fast as they could grow...because they were WEEDS!  What?!?  He worked in agriculture and he knew them as weeds!  🤣   I talked him into leaving a few so I could enjoy my hard work and loved seeing them grow. Eventually they climed to their beautiful glory!  But one day the postal worker rang the doorbell and asked if I would mind cutting off the Morning Glories due to the bees. 😢  Needless to say I don’t plant Morning Glories any more and over the years, I discovered there are many floral varieties that are considered weeds!  But they sure make beautiful Potted Petals!  😂🤣😅.
