I've been traveling alot this summer, from the Quilter's Plus Guild in Glenwood, IL, to two shops in Canada - Chicken Feed Quilts in Coaldale AB & Beaver Creek Mercantile in Caroline AB - to most recently, the East Iowa Heritage Quilt Guild in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My grandaughter, Aleece, has been my travel buddy/navigator/baggage handler for these trips, although Robert came along to Iowa after being left at home for 2 weeks on our Canadian adventure.

In most of the pictures I have of Aleece, she's eating - waffles, ice cream, cookies, ice cream. You get the idea. She is, after all, a growing teenager. She has been a joy to hang out with and is a great help with the quilters. I only wish one of us would remember to take more pictures at the workshops!! Here are a few of the lovely ladies we met in our travels.

Also on this trip, we'll visit Q.U.I.L.T Guild in Springdale, AR. I'll present a trunk show for their guild meeting August 24, then we'll head to their guild retreat for Clara's Garden & Mini Table Treats workshops on August 24-25. If you're in the area, I hope you'll join us!

I'll be home just long enough to do laundry and catch up on emails, then off again for a delayed trip with my daughter, Nicole, to New York. She graduated with her Master's degree in Social Work and just received her MSW License. She's earned this vacation!
In September, I'll be off to Colorado and Utah for more fun workshops and trunk shows. First stop is at the S & B Quilt Guild in Hotchkiss, CO. On Friday, September 8th, I'll be sharing my layered patchwork technique with our Mini Charm Sampler, then a trunk show on Saturday.

I'll visit Hi Fashion Quilt Shop in Grand Junction, CO next, Sept. 11-12, teaching Rustic Stars and Pumpkin Harvest. Spots are still available for the workshops, so call the store today to sign up!

My last stop on this adventure is at the much-acclaimed Quilter's Lodge in Draper, UT. The ladies at Thimbles & Thread Quilt Shop are our hosts for the weekend retreat where I'll be teaching my Cruisin' Sampler and a selection of Mini Table Treats.For more information,

I love meeting quilters from all over the country and hearing their quilting stories. If you've ever wanted to see dozens of KT quilts, hear my quilting story and simply hang out, these trunk shows and workshops are your best opportunities. Hope to see over the next couple months at one of these KT events near you.
