Berries, hearts, and flowers are sure to keep you busy this month. But don't feel overwhelmed. Sue Garman says to just stay focused and work on them a little bit at a time. Pop in a favorite movie, grab your applique and before you know it, you will be well on your way to finishing this block. To download this Block of the Month pattern click here. To learn how Sue saves time and energy by "setting-up" a block watch her excellent tips on Episode 304 here.

| I love Paula Nadelstern. My local quilts shops' Saturday 9am Sampler Class just completed Paula's Puzzled Quilt book as our 2007-08 project and I am getting ready to post my interpretation of the Puzzle Quilt when I get it photographed. Paula is an amazing talent and I am very much looking forward to her show. Laura Barnes |

San Jose, CA, USA - The San Jose Quilt Museum will hold a retrospective of Radka Donnell's quilts titled Charged Sites: Radka Donnell's Art Quilts. Donnell's quilts are distinguished by a bold, painterly, abstract expressionist approach to the use of color, line and pattern. In Donnell's approach to her art she freely combines large scale printed fabrics cut in unusual shapes to create original, improvisational works. The exhibition runs September 2 through November 2, 2008. For more information click here.

The Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminar will once again be held at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. So if you’ve not been able to catch Ricky, Alex, and Libby at a Super Quilt Seminar you can catch it in Houston on Thursday & Friday, Oct 30-31, 2008.
Registrations are being handled by Quilt Festival, and the seminar is listed on page 44 of the Festival class catalog (or course #410 if you’re registering on their website, www.quilts.com). The seminar is set up so that you have a 2 hour lunch break each day, generous AM and PM breaks, and you’re free by 5:30 pm, so you have plenty of time for lunch and shopping as the Festival merchant mall and quilt show closes at 7:00 pm each day.
Seminar details (topics taught, student feedback, etc) can be found on Ricky's website, but you have to register with the folks in Houston. The deadline for registrations is Sept 26 and you can get information on the Quilts, Inc. festival website (www.quilts.com). You can register online, by fax or snail mail as long as it’s received by Sept 26.
And, more good news….we need volunteers to help us set up the Wednesday afternoon before (about 3 hours), break down on Friday at 5:30 (a little over 1 hour) and work a little bit in between. Our volunteers must be paid registrants to the seminar but receive a $60 gift certificate to use at the Ricky TIms booth. You won’t miss a moment of the teaching sessions since everything is in one big room, and you’ll have a blast .
For details, contact Pat Greenberg or call 303-252-05779 MWF.
