I can't believe a year has gone by - Quilting in the Garden at Alden Lane Nursery is this weekend! This is one of my favorite quilting things to do. Joen Wolfrom is the featured artist along with a special exhibit by Melinda Bula and of course quilts from our community. The show is BOTH Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 - 4:00 - admission free! There is still room in Cindy Needham's workshop and at the Friday and Saturday evening lecture. John and I will be selling T-shirts designed for this event - stop by and say "hi". Guess which of Joen's quilts was used for T shirt inspiration this year? To discover more about this jewel of a quilt show in Livermore, Ca., go here. John and I will be looking for you! Help us by wearing a star.

In preparation for Houston this year, I am having to gather quilts and memorabilia for my Silver Star Special Exhibit. Quilts Inc. suggests that you give a span of your entire quilting experience - although this is not quilting per se, look what my mom found..........my very early attempts of stitchery -

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.
