Our journey continues - only to greet an astonishing wilderness adventure.  Remember to put all this excitement (and most of the colors) into your fishing with Pop Pop quilt.

Finally - I made it here - never mind I was on the wrong plane to Chicago. ALWAYS - right before the seminar everyone is hustling and bustling to get the details just right - I thought it might be fun to see a "before" image. The stage is set, complete with quilts. Some people wonder, "how will I get to see with so many people?" . Check out the screen to the right. It doesn't get better than this! Next seminar will be in my home town, Livermore, CA (Jan 08). From the back side of the venue, you can see Jackson Ave school - where I attended as a child. BTW: That seminar is going to fill - if you are thinking about coming, I suggest you get on board asap.

I am often asked,"What does it take to get published?" Recently I had the opoportunity to sit down and talk with Jan Grigsby at C&T Publishing to chat about the ins and outs of working with a publishing house. If that thought has ever crossed your mind, take a moment to visit my personal site at www.alexandersonquilts.com and listen to pod cast number 67.
