I am headed out on a quilt cruise with Sue Spargo! And included on our cruise is Joe Cunningham, John Flynn and Gloria Loughman! Talk about an amazing group of artists! About 3 years ago I cruised with Stacy West of Buttermilk Basin and Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gathering...my first quilt cruise and I was hooked! So, I put away a little each month in my cruise bank. Even if you are not a cruise aficionado, the benefit to cruising with a quilt teacher is...they are a captured audience, LOL!

My carry on luggage included my medications and my stitching...the most important cargo I have...oh and my swimsuit! I could live on the ship with only these 3 items!

I decided instead of starting a new project, I would concentrate on learning new stitches on my UFOs...very excited to get these projects moving in this new year!

We will have video of the experience later this month on the Quilt Roadies! Keep on stitching and start a Cruise Piggy Bank!

NOTE: Anna will be travelling out of the country for next few weeks and we will do our best to post her blogs as they arrive.

Linda Anderson took a trip to China and was captivated by a Tang Dynasty performance of music and dance. The warrior in the performance had such a powerful presence of command and leadership she wanted to tell his story in her quilt, Braveheart.
 
Linda's quilt won Best Sewing Machine Workmanship Innovative at the Pacific International Quilt Festival 2017.

Thanks so much to Marisela Rumberg for sharing this incredible group quilt featuring Mexico's "magic towns"--cities across Mexico with exceptional historical, cultural, and natural features. This video barely captures the quilt's huge size and detailed landscapes, but we're so excited to share this bilingual Go Tell It! video from the Quilt Alliance with you. Enjoy the "Magic Towns of Mexico."
