Just like the words from The Sound of Music we all have favorite things we reach for when working on our quilts. Fancy or simple, they are what we depend upon to get the job done. I have two “favs” in my sewing box. A hardware store peephole (to view an entire quilt for color placement) and a wooden skewer (to hold tight areas as I am sewing). What are your “favorite" things?

We are very excited about the second half of season one. It seems it was just yesterday that we were taping them - in fact it was! We appreciated all your thoughts regarding the first six episodes and you will find that we have made some changes. For instance, regarding the "how to" content, you wanted more - your wish was our command. In fact, the first show runs over one hour long - that is almost equal to three- half hour shows when you add in commercial time. 
We would suggest that you consider watching the show in segments - there is a lot of information to take in (remember to use the remote control to your advantage). But don't worry, our resource guide is available for your reference. Although we call the Quilt Show, an Internet TV program - John, believes we are becoming an Interactive Video Magazine. Where else can you watch and then instantly communicate within our community? Pretty cool when you think about it.

The Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminar is now in the record book. Quilters from several states converged at the Richmond Convention Center for two and a half days of instruction from myself, Libby Lehman, and Alex Anderson. Included in the line up was also Bob Purcell, The Thread Guy, who provided each attendee with a Doctoral of Threadology diploma following his presentation.
There is no way for me to accurately depict the seminar so we'll let the blog comments speak for themselves. If you attended the Richmond event - or any past seminar event - please tell the World Quilt Community about your experience. What was memorable? What did you learn? What was fun?
We were privileged to have accommodations at The Jefferson, a 111 year old gem. Pictured above is one of the two atrium areas. The other had a statue of Thomas Jefferson and a Tiffany glass dome ceiling. Quilting designs and motifs were everywhere. Richmond is a very historic city in America and the quilters poured out their hospitality in true Southern style!

OK Gang - it's time to make a summer wallhanging for your favorite fisherman - or just for the pleasure of it. You have a few weeks to gather your fabric and then we will begin! Check the link above the rhapsody flag for more details - it is time to sew!!!

Although I had the pleasure to be with quilters in VA at Ricky's seminar (with Libby Lehman and Bob Purcell) I had to leave early for a wedding. Yes, it is wedding time in my family (not my kids) - so off to Minnesota for a gathering of pirates. Friday night was a very nice shower for Caitlin (the bride) and this evening is the big event. So what to do today? Is there anything more important besides getting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Not so, according to my 8th grade teacher daughter!
- and yes she is old enough to teach. LOL
