Little piles are starting here and there as I get ready to head off to La Veta for season THREE! We are more than excited about the line up of guests, and we know you will be too. If you have not yet renewed or become a star member, now is the time! And YES, these are all items that will be in my suitcase - 
Don't ask - Perhaps the production files will explain a lot - stay tuned.

Whenever I open my email, I am always more than pleased when I get a message (long or short) from one of my kids – or kid to be (our beloved Shelly who is engaged to Joey). This morning she sent me this photo of their engagement party last fall. It was the first time we met her family and we were as taken with them as we are with Shelly. Note that my son is going to add inches on to their grandchildren and hopefully Shelly will raise our grandkids IQ 20 points (she recently graduated from law school). As dresses are being chosen and plans are being made (August 17th), I need to get to my task at hand – their wedding chuppah. We have chosen exotic fabrics – so this is a new day (sewing experience) for me!

Ring the Bell – Session two is about to begin. By your request - Alex will teach you the fundamentals of choosing appropriate quilting designs. There are many basics that you can learn to help your quilt look the best it was meant to be! Also, Alex will share tips on what to consider when choosing or drawing designs for yourself. This session is a MUST NOT MISS for all quilters today!
Also make sure you have not missed Alex's session one - handquilting was the subject with EVERYTHING you need to know to get started or improve your stitching.. Including How to quilt with your thumb, picking the right needle, and using a hoop or a frame. It is recommended to start with lesson one and work through the units in order.

We got our start, bright and early this morning (actually it was not bright, but still dark- lol) - One of the best things about traveling for Bernina is that I get to meet quilters all around the United States. It seems that no matter where I am, a friendlier group could not be found - but then of course that is because you are quilters! BTW: It was especially sweet to meet several TQS people - and for those of you who are just checking out the site for the first time - WELCOME!

As you read this I am probably somewhere over the United States heading towards PA. On Wednesday I will be hanging out with Gloria Horn's Sewing in Pittsburg along with several hundred of you! Then on Friday and Saturday I will be in Philadelphia hanging with three Bernina dealers – Byrne Sewing Connection, Hayes Sewing Machines and Steve’s Vac and Sew – In all cases there are more seats to be had. I would love to meet you and if you do attend – please remember to wear your TQS badge!
look here to see if i will be near you!

Tonight promises to be fun! Four of us "girls" who grew up on Hillcrest Ct in Livermore are having a reunion at my house. I was the youngest of the lot (not by much) - which means I was perhaps the most irritating of the group growing up. Guess who I am? Now the really cool thing is that I know for sure two of the gals who are coming are TQS members - and one isn't even a quilter!

When I think of a few years ago, I didn't even know what a podcast or ipod was! Now here we are just few years later and we are delivering to you full production TV shows and so much more via the internet! I truly believe that in the "off" year, had I not explored and played with the concept of podcasting, I would not be here today. All that said, because of my recent computer trauma, the podcasting came to an abrupt hault. But guess what?? I am back in the saddle. My most recent episode is up and running - Subject: Caring and Feeding of Fabric. To take a listen to The Quilt Connection go here.
