A Message from John--I am waiting this morning for Alex to come into the kitchen and I hear her say the following:

"The mirror is having a Bad Hair Day".

It's all in your attitude!

It looks like the DVD's authoring is nearing an end and the master will head off to the manufacturer in a few short days - which means we are getting very close to having them in the warehouse! Sorry for the delay, but it was a tough thing to do and we had unexpected bumps. We know you'll agree, it will be worth the wait.


The back cover of the DVD case has a spot that is begging for a quote or two. How about one from you? If we use your quote on the case, we'll send you a TQS Bernina goodie bag! We are looking for quotes that are between 5 and 15 words reflecting your thoughts on the shows. Fire away!

Although I am ever so greatful to be a teacher at Empty Spools Seminars - there are moments I am pain fully envious of the FIVE days of sewing - complete immersion in quilting. I see this pile of fabric and I want to sit down and start stitching away.............

I was so excited that in this session I got to use my camera and projector to teach the class. No more sea of bodies hovering around the table to see a Y seam - Also with my trusty camera in hand, I also was thrilled to go to the beach and talk to a REALLY cute surfer and get it on tape (to share to the world). I asked him if he was a quilter and as you can imagine, it was the perfect pick-up line. LOL. As I was transfering the information into my computer to edit, something went super wrong - the electricity went out - the up shot - end of story? I taped over my most amazing old lady flirty lines!!! hhmmm- better stick to my day job!

I am teaching stars in Merrill hall. The weather is extraordinary - California at its best. We are making stars, and it is safe to say my students are true stars - Also, I have been hearing "It's a New day" around many bends and corners!
