I'm having the great privilege of teaching at the International Quilt Festival Dubai which is held next weekend in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is often sited as being the most affluent city in the world. It currently is home to the world's tallest building. The photo I've posted is an architectural rendering of the next major building project to get underway - the Dubai Towers - simply unbelievable.
Yes, riding a camel and seeing belly-dancers is on my list of things to do - so is riding four-wheelers in the desert. After my day of fun I will be teaching machine quilting and Rhapsody quilt lecture/demos, judging their show, and playing piano for their gala dinner. Two TQS guests will also be teaching there: Sharon Pederson (episode 512) and Bonnie McCaffery (episode 205).
I'll be in overload mode while I'm there so my reports may have to come once I get home. I'll do my best to keep you posted, but until then - it's Dubai or Bust! We have some TQS members attending the show and my classes. Anyone want to chime in with advice before I board my plane 24 hours from now?
