NOTE: I may not have a post next week. I hope to write it before I leave for Houston, but I may not have enough time. I also may not have a newsletter for this Sat, Oct 29. I definitely will not have a newsletter Nov 5th.
Whaaaaat, you don’t get my newsletter? My newsletter is a two-fer, you get my blog post plus other entertaining, enlightening and sometimes silly stuff. You can sign up here.

This year’s PIQF was the best in my memory, but then again, my memory….. So much beauty, expertise, variety and expression. I totally enjoyed myself and I hope you enjoyed my view of the show.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did I miss seeing your Beyond All That quilt before now?! I feel like I must have had a Rip Van Winkle moment. I knew I’d fallen somewhat behind and out of the rhythm of keeping up with what my favorite quilters are doing online, but I didn’t think I’d been out of the loop long enough for you to create a masterpiece from start to finish. I love, love LOVE how you juxtapose the improv piecing with an elaborate and more formal background quilting design. It works really, really well. Now I have to go on a hunt through your older posts to find out more about this piece! Hope you’re having an amazing time in Houston. I know your students are!

Thank you!!! I am having a great time and I’m tired! Beyond All That lingered for 2 years and was only recently finished.
Thank you for sharing. So many amazing quilts.
