Visiting the Monterey Peninsula Quilters Guild, Pacific Grove, Ca
What a treat-spending 4 days in Pacific Grove! I had a fabulous visit with the Monterey Peninsula Quilters Guild. They asked for a 2-day workshop which absolutely delights me. Spending 2 (or more) days with my students is heaven-we bond, we laugh and all the while free motion skills improve dramatically. It’s a tough 3 1/2 […]

Nature is right in your face-the cliffs are steep, the wind strong and the sweeping views are stunning. The Pacific Piecemakers brought me in […]

We are very fortunate in California to have 2 major organizations that bring teachers together with the shops and guilds that might be interested […]
