Can chickens fly that far?

I bet by now Wendy is checking her savings and planning a trip to Alden Lane.

Sounds really interesting, shall be interested to hear lots more.

What's this Alden Lane you're all in raptures about?

suehenyon wrote: Yes, Sue, it's fabric sculpture. Entitled 3D Adventures: Beasts in the Jungle. I am NOT artistic and usually interpret instructions a little different than the rest of the world so this is really a stretch for me -- hopefully it won't be frustrating. My favorite quilts have always had a little 3D element, though, so I am really excited to learn anything I can from Susan. Livermore is usually boiling this time of year, but being of a certain age I know to carry a little electric fan and an extension cord. I have no shame!

Oh Lizards, sometimes there is so much chat that we get blown off into the universe when we try to respond I forgot what I said the first time around, so will try to remember

Charae, I hope you will post pictures of your project with Susan. Will the class be on fabric sculpture? I'm praying for you that the weather will be somewhat less that boiling. Maybe those oaks give plenty of respites from the sun.

Wendy, I'm kind of laughing about your frog, having been talked into watching a few episodes of Duck Dynasty where the guys go bullfrog hunting and the woman does a cooking show on how to cook them. Never ate one myself, but I hear they taste like ChickeN!

Vicki, beautiful mug rug! I know I've missed commenting on many, having only had time to lurk, but wow, they are all beautiful. I, myself, am more that half way through the next batch, remembering that half is the backing

Lovely Lorchen, really? Scotch in the Supermarket? That's funny!

Cheers to all!

Rita--I was so upset that the sweater didn't fit that I gave it to my daughter without taking a picture. So, I will have to wait until I am down her way and try to remember to take the camera.
Rosemary--I knew that jumper was a sweater. Here a jumper is a loose fitting dress that is worn over a shirt. OR--jumper cables which are used to hook on battery up to another battery to make a car run.

Charae, I hope you will share pics with us?

Charae, thank you so much for the invitation. We could then kneel and kiss the ground together, starting a new tradition.

But I will have to retire first before planning any exciting travelling. And right now I'm not so sure about when to take that step. When I'm working with the kids, I want to go on, but when I have to deal with some colleagues who get away with blue murder because they kiss a part of my line manager's body she normally sits on, I want to retire asap. Big decision. The earliest time to escape will come at the end of July next year. Big sigh..... Decisions, decisions......

I have taken several really good classes there, including a hand quilting class from Alex a couple of years ago. Lorchen, I never really thought about kneeling down and kissing the ground at Alden Lane although I certainly should because there's always lots of quilting nobility in attendance at this event. I guess I'm just too busy looking up at all of the spectacular quilts hanging from the oak trees. It is fabulous! Next year, come on over. DH and I have a spare guest room and I know the way to Livermore, too!

Oh, I'll be on the outlook for that
Enjoy your trip to Alden Lane Nursery. I just envy you a little bit

Charae, I hope you'll kneel down and kiss the ground when you get to Alden Lane Nursery, seeing that you are on ground where so many famous quilters have walked. Have fun!

Lucky duck is right , Charae
