From Capt'n John:

Alex and I ran through the San Francisco Airport to fly to the Super Seminar in Florida with Ricky, Justin and Libby Lehman. I stopped to get you a few pictures. First, the cloud formation was very interesting as it snaked over the mountains like water in a fountain. Then there is the airport art.  There was an exhibit of family furnishings from the 1930-1965. I got a few pictures and then ran on.

Having just come on a year ago, I still haven't built up very many miles. While Alex sits in the expanded legroom seats, I hope to have enough time in so that on the next flight I get to sit inside the airplane. Whoo Hoo!! (You gotta pay your dues.)

Do you stop and look at your airport art or do you head directly to the gate?

We all love coming to La Veta, Colorado to tape the new shows. We have great guests with special, quick, and accurate ways to make your quilts shine. Here is a quick slideshow so you can be familiar with the town we love to visit. Be sure to stop the slideshow to read any of the signs that draw your interest.

The song is "Heart & Soul" from Ricky's CD "Heart & Soul." The album is available in the shop and you can click here to purchase it.

We were in Manteca, California this weekend and what perfect timing. Carolyn Sadler has created a Barbie quilt that is a great tribute to Barbie on her 50th Birthday. Did you own one Barbie, two Barbies, three Barbies or?????

Capt'n John and his brother Jim took Mom to Spring Training to see her beloved Angels baseball team. While there we went to see the plants of the Desert at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. As some of our members noted last week, we were surprised to find that Chihuly had spread his glass throughout the Garden.

Not only were we surprised by the glass, but the shapes, variety and flowers of the desert plants were fascinating. If you get a chance to see this in person, the show can be seen during the day and lit up at night. The exhibit is through May 31, 2009. It's worth the trip. 

Like quilts displayed outside, it brings a whole new perspective to the art. Ricky plays "If I Were Love" from his Heart and Soul CD.
