Although my quilt doesn't look worse for the wear - My baby basket quilt got FORGOTTEN !!! That is right - Imagine, out of site out of mind - now YOU tell the story.

As most of you know my daughter Adair is an 8th grade teacher. While she claims she is not a quilter (note the word CLAIM) - look what I found in her classroom. A paper quilt that the students made regarding a unit about the Underground Railroad - OK - so she may not be a "quilter" - but how does Quilt Teacher fit into the equation?

It happened quite innocently as Justin and I drove through Iowa. I gave a shout out on Facebook. Kathyl in Iowa replied that she would wave to me as we drove by. I then suggested that she hurry to the interstate and wave a quilt as we went by. She did just that and "drive-by quilting" was born. She was the first member of the Drive-by Quilting Club and more have joined us since then. You can join the club too!
All you have to do is pay attention to days when Justin and I are traveling from hither to yon. This week we are finishing up our trip to Cape Cod and Tuesday and Wednesday we'll be looking for anyone who wants to play. We'll be driving on I70 from Terre Haute, IN to somewhere near Topeka, KS on Tuesday. Wednesday we'll continue on I70 though Kansas and then turn toward La Veta. If you want to make an attempt to join the Drive-by Quilting Club, and you are in our travel path, follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter. See pictures and read more about it here.
We're driving - but what's missing?

Sadly an icon in our industry has passed away. Bonnie made incredible impact in our community and we invite you to visit The Quilters Hall of Fame to view a memorial.

I hear a lot of "you should come do a seminar in our state" types of comments. That would be great but here's what you need to know. We do about four of them each year. So although Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminars can't go everywhere, but one thing's for sure - we don't go anywhere without an official invitation from the board of directors of quilt guild. The process from invitation to actual seminar takes between two to three years. Information about the seminars and the contact link to get hosting information is here.

First, WHEW! ... and the above headline says it all!
It takes about two years to pull off a super quilt seminar. The fact that Earl was threatening to spoil it all was not pleasant on sooooo many levels! However, even with that threat breathing down our necks, the seminar started and only about 10 of our 360 or so failed to show up. Quilters will not be deterred.
Friday night I usually do my concert, but I was able to absorb my stories and music into the daytime sessions and we all left at 5:00 on Friday so we could batten down the hatches and hunker down for the hurricane. Alex, John, Libby, Pat, Justin and I still managed to go to the docks on the harbor for a fine seafood dinner and by the time we were leaving there was a breeze and a few drops of rain.
Once back at the hotel the rain started and we witnessed some gusty winds through the night, but NOTHING like what it could have been. The news crews had to really struggle to find a place that would look dramatic enough to keep viewers paying attention to their reports. We never lost power and honestly, we have way worse winds in La Veta on a regular basis. So Earl was simply more of an annoyance before he got to the Cape than he was when he arrived. Earl became a Pearl.
One visitor saw T-shirts already, "I survived Earl, but then again, my hair dryer blows harder!"
We are now doing the four day drive home to Colorado. If you are on I78 and I70 as we head west - contact me for a drive-by quilting!

Quilt artist, teacher, and author, Katie Pasquini Masopust let TQS behind the scenes of one of her color theory classes. Katie discussed the workings of a color wheel, different types of color schemes, and the components that make up different types of compositions. The participants had a great time playing with hundreds of 2 1/2" squares which they used to make color wheels and compositions.
Have you ever taken a class on color? Did you find it useful to your quilt-making process? What was the most important thing you learned in the class?

I learned that this boat rents for $400,000 a week - If we all join together I think we can get it for $390,000. Are you in?
