As most of you know, Ricky and Justin just returned from a spectacular South America tour with Jim West of Sew Many Places. While on that trip, Ricky and Jim began brewing up a new tour - one that would entice and excite anyone, but especially TQS members! The next tour will not only feature Ricky, but will also include Alex - and we haven't left out Justin and John!!
The 11-day tour is scheduled for January 23 - Feb 3, 2011. This deluxe, first class tour to Kenya will feature outstanding accommodations, safari expeditions, and so much more. Africa is a fantasy destination and Jim West of Sew Many Places is pulling out all the stops to make this particular trip 'over-the-top' spectacular! If you have EVER considered a trip to Africa, this tour is it!
While Ricky and Alex are the featured teachers for the tour, the agenda and itinerary is directed to everyone - not just quilters. It will be a well-rounded experience for everyone! Let's make it a TQS spectacular!!
Sign up today! As you might expect, the total number of people for the expedition is limited. The final itinerary will be confirmed in a couple of months, but you can get on board now. Because it is too early to give you an exact cost for the airline tickets and first class hotels and lodges, we can estimate the cost around $6,800. A $250 deposit will secure your place now before this expedition is announced to the general public! For two more weeks it is only being announce to TQS members and Alex's and Ricky's newsletters.
We all know things happen and plans change, so Sew Many Places offers a full-refund prior to final payment date in the fall of 2010. Go to www.sewmanyplaces.com and contact them right away to confirm your spot! Be a part of this trip of a lifetime!!

This month-and for the next five months- you will be making four different border stars, along with eight more sawtooth stars. You will not be adding these border stars to your quilt center until you have completed them all. Take care when making these stars; accuracy now makes the work much easier later on!

TQS is coming to New York in April and the New York visitors Bureau found out. It turns out that the person in charge of the Big Screen on Times Square is a TQS fan and flashed the news to New York that TQS was on it's way to the Big Apple.
The sign was a hit and the Visitors Bureau was beseiged with calls. Most said it was about time that Quilting was recognized as the art of the people, by the people and for the people.
This honor coincided with President Obama presenting a quilt to each of the G20 leaders in England this week. The symbolism of diverse fabrics being joined as one was not lost on the leaders as they seek to stitch together a path to freedom and prosperity.
.....RICKY....RICKY...wake up Ricky ....You keep yelling WHOO HOO...Ricky do you hear me?? Boy that must have been some dream!!
