I too wished that I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, so I could be a Sew and Sew. So I did the next best thing: I am bringing our very own Barbara Black to my quilt guild in the Chicago area. Barbara will be at Illinois Quilters Inc. for a lecture on Thursday March 1 at 7:00 pm and workshops on Friday, March 2 and Saturday, March 3. Our March meeting and workshops will be at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Northbrook, Illinois. The Friday workshop is Sue Garman's Washington Feathered Star paper pieced, and Saturday workshop is String Stars: Use those Scraps. Non-member lecture is $10.00, and non-member 6 hour workshops are $55 (PayPal available). The website is illinoisquilters.com. If you need more information you can private message me! So if you live in the Chicago area (or southern Wisconsin) you are welcome to meet Barbara in person.
