Well, now that I have an iPad, no excuses for not blogging right? I do something relating to quilting everyday, so hopefully with the portable access I will be able to check in more often.
Last week I taught 4 classes in 2 days in Oconomowoc then spoke at Oconomowoc Quilters Guild. Whew! Lots of stuff in just a few days. One of the classes I taught was Build a Star workshop. The coolest thing about this class (I call it "worth the price of admission") is that you don't sew through the paper! What, you say? That's right, you use freezer paper, fold on the sewing line and then sew right next tot he folded paper. Wow! Anyway, here is a pic of one of my students projects. Great job!

A view into the quilting life of Caron Carlson, owner of Valley Quilt Studio in Batavia, IL. Little bit of this and that, and maybe even a few cat pictures!

I hope you all will be able to join us at the Sewing and Quilt Expo in Schaumburg at the Renaissance Center this Thursday through Saturday, Our booth (number 833) will be stocked with machines and fabric so you can sit and sew with us, sign a block for a donation, or buy a pattern to make your own QOV or any other fast and easy project. This booth will be very near the traveling Quilts of Valor display in the far right hand corner of the exhibit hall as you enter. Please stop by and say hello, sit and sew, and meet me or one of the other fabulous folks that help out on a regular basis. Our "troops" so to speak!
Here's a pic of the pattern that I designed, available at the show for a $10 donation...
