Kim Caskey-Dalmer! Kim had quite a weekend in Edmonton at the Creative Stitches Show. Here is her 1st place Rhapsody Quilt.
The shop where Kim teaches--Earthly Goods--won Best Booth. Also, Kim and her mother hosted The Quilt Show booth where quilters entered a contest to win Subscriptions to our Website. We couldn't have had better representatives.
Notice the choice of Fabric.

If you missed it - or if you are not in the USA, please click this link to see the national spotlight on quilting presented by CBS news. Click this link then look for Quilt-for-sale. Please don't forget to thank CBS - write an email now.
By the way 7:06 minutes for a spot on a national program is HUGE. Even if you wish it could have been longer. Notice most are 3-4 minutes.

"Quilts For Sale" Quilting is a billion-dollar industry where creativity and skill entwine. Seth Doane reports on the booming art form and talks with quilting celebrity, Ricky Tims. To watch the video, the link is: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=3942008n%3fsource=search_video

If you saw the CBS profile on quilting that featured Ricky, why not send CBS a thank you email. Perhaps if we let them know we watched, there might be more quilting features in the future.
What did you think about the profile?

Yesterday was a long day. Then I looked at the daily blog (“…EveryDay”) and found a direct contradiction to the phrase “There is something about a man in uniform”. Apparently in some cases there isn’t.
Thank you for the encouraging words. I’m looking forward to being able to focus full time on how to work with you to continue the creation of a dynamic and fun website. We have had a lot of ideas that didn’t make it to the site because we looked around and said, “Great idea, who is going to do it”? Here is a warning: I like to make lists. It all starts with our Mission Statement:
To educate, inspire, entertain, connect and grow the world quilting community in a fun, positive, interactive environment.
By the way, I’m warning you now, I take the word “interactive” very seriously. Get ready to play. Yes we do own the domain “quiltipedia”, but first things first. And what is first? I’m still working hard on this and this is what I have so far:
1. Learn Photoshop
2. Get Revenge
3. …???
How am I doing?
To answer the other question, yes I am going to do a quilt. Here is my first list on that:
1. Where can I find a teacher?
2. A Baltimore Album quilt
3. A replica of the 1776 quilt
4. Learn to spell Sienkiewicz without looking at the book.
5. A sewing card.
I want and need your ideas and suggestions. Enjoy National Quilting Day.

The CBS website has posted a blurb about the program that will feature quilting this Sunday, March 16, 2008. If you have seen the show before, you probably know they use artworks featuring images of suns before they go to a commercial break. Ricky made the one above, and we wonder if they will use it. Keep your eyes open. Here is the current link that has the announcement; see CRAFT: quilts. TQS has a link there! Keep spreading the word.

I guess all good things must come to an end. I hope you have enjoyed The Three Sisters. In this final video, each of them share their thoughts and offer words of wisdom.
Now, out of curiosity, would you be interested in a 15 student, four day, Master Class, with the all Three Sisters (yes, THREE teachers at once) about a year from now - in La Veta? They are considering this and would love to know if there is serious interest before making the retreat official. A ball-park only figure for four days of classes, lodging, and meals is in the $1400-1500 range. If this is something you would seriously consider, please submit a comment to that effect. Your comment is not a commitment.
