Alegre retreat this month was highly successful! We had a great time. The weather was perfect! The teachers were wonderful! We had a magician that was mind blowing. Tour of Maureen and John’s home, Tour of his car museum, Hiking the hills and a Helicopter ride for an angels view. Sign ups are going great for next year only 9 spots left in the regular classes and 6 independent study spots!! So we are very excited!! Here are a few of the highlights.

I have a couple of weeks of rest before I am on the road, teaching in Sacramento then making red white and blue quilts for our veterans over memorial weekend, Remodeling my kitchen and getting new floors throughout the house. Family reunion at Lake Tahoe the end of June. The sisters Quilt show in July and the opening of my show at Visions the 21st of July then directly from there to Quilting by the Lake then August 1st I get a new knee at the Coons joint replacement center in St. Helena then a month of recoup and hopefully I will be out on the road again. In between all of that I am starting a new series of quilts all about floral still lifes!! so keeping busy.

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful sympathy cards for me over the loss of my husband. I am doing ok by quilting which always lifts my spirits and gardening,
Have a super great summer
love and hugs
