Wendy, I was involved in hanging the quilts - including the ones that teachers and speakers had brought -, so I actually put up Laura and Frieda's quilts. As soon as I find a few minutes to download pictures I'll share. :)

You're in for a treat, robin. I love Laura's hand-dyed threads! :)

Funny—just yesterday, I ordered some of Laura's hand-dyed threads and I eagerly await their arrival!

Thank you, my friends (blushing)!

I have known Frieda and Laura for some years now, and love their attitude. They both take quilting and design serious, and their enthusiasm is infectious. Their styles are easily recognizeable, but they keep exploring and pushing the bounderies.

If you have never handled them or seen them in real life, Laura's hand-dyed threads are superb for hand embroidery, and Frieda's hand-dyed fabrics are so beautiful, you'll find it difficult to take your rotary cutter or scissors to them.

What a great photo Lorchen. You look better and better in each photo! I hope you had fun with the doyens of the Chicago school of fusing! BTW I love the quilt behind you. It looks so like one my aunt made for us when we were children.

Lorchen, wasn't that fun. I have taken a class from Laura and gone to her lecture at Houston. What a hoot!!!!!! Fabulous that you got to spend time with these terrific women. And aren't you looking gorgeous these days. I definitely envy your new look and your perseverence. Hugs, Ann
