As reported earlier this week, high school photograps of both Alex and Ricky are circulating the globe in a new edgy quilting magazine called Quilter's Home . Since Lilo (TQSWizard) has so bravely posted her high school pic, and many of you can not locate the images from the magazine, I have posted them here for your amusement. How about being brave enough to post your high school photo in YOUR profile? What's next, our baby photos?

Oh yeah, I am the one on the right!

Don't you just "love it" when a person says, "look what I got! - for practically nothing?" A twang of jealousy rushes through your body - (oh come on, we have all been there. LOL )- Well, LOOK WHAT I FOUND - I even got it half off, for $1.00 - they just don't make them like they used to. Time to fess up - what cool thing have you found and purchased that made your quilter buddies green with envy? (BTW: Off to the book store - I will let you know what I decide on - thanks for all the titles).

While reading through the Forum yesterday we saw a number of members mention the magazine Quilter's Home.  We went out and bought a copy of the Sept/Oct 2007 issue and what did we find but an article with actual High School Senior photos of some of the quilting world's notable artists including---you guessed it---our own Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.  The photos are great fun, but we surmize that hairspray sales have taken a serious hit since some of these individuals graduated.

The Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminar in Omaha was described as a "Wow!" Alex, Libby, Bob the Thread Guy and myself, all enjoyed a tremdous number of positive comments. Thank you Omaha Quilters Guild and everyone who came from far and wide to spend your weekend with us! If you attended, maybe joined The Quilt Show as a result, or hope to go someday, we'd love for you to post a comment.

On Friday evening, I always do a concert. My shadow, Clara, snapped this photo and I think it speaks for itself. The volunteers stayed to the bitter end and they are pictured in the loading dock after we were packed and ready to leave. It really takes a village to make this happen. The event raised $7,701.00 for the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Our Ricky Tims Super Quilt Sermiar got underway last night to a record crowd at the new Holland Center of the Performing Arts in Omaha, NE. The seminar covers about 20 topics in 15 hours of lecture. In addition, I do a concert. This time I get to perform on a new Steinway D concert grand piano -yipee. Mostly I'm just letting you all know that Alex and I are here along with Libby Lehman and Bob Purcell, the thread guy having a great time sharing our favorite topics with quilters from far and wide -even several Canadians have made it here!

One really great thing is that the host guild, the Omaha Quilt Guild, will be donating their proceeds to the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, NE. The center is near completion and as I understand it, will have a grand opening in March 2009.
