Summer Is Coming

Newsletter

Summer is coming and I am so excited as I watch my garden grow. Living in Northern California is certainly different garden wise from living in New Mexico!! a lot more mowing and pulling of weeds.

I have just finished the January on line courses and am getting ready to start the new set in June.

Color and Composition which is 8 lessons on art considerations that should be thought of when making a quilt.

Working in a Series consists of 6 pieces that work together to create a series.

Please check workshops for more information on those and to register.

Classes start on June 4th with the first assignment sent out
for the Series class that is when you would need to have an idea or quilt for the first piece in your series.

Please also check out my itinerary page to see where I will be teaching, maybe we could meet and do a class together.

Alegre Retreat for 2018 is very exciting and almost full!! already!! please go to www.alegreretreat.com for more information on the Retreat held at the Gateway Canyons Resort in Gateway, Colorado.

I am taking the month off from quilting in May to paint in my new studio and to tame my yard!!

Have a great summer and enjoy creating

Zooming Through February

Newsletter

Hard to believe that January is already over and we are zooming through February. Big teaching time for me. So I am zooming as well. Off to teach at the Beach City Quilters in California then home for a few days then a whole week at Asilomar by the Sea in Monterey California, one of my favorite spots for teaching. Such a perfect setting with walks on the beach in the mornings and great classes during the day. and the shopping is great with an on site quilt shop with over 600 bolts of fabrics brought to us by Carolie Hensley from her Cotton Patch Quilt Shop! Then home for just one day then flying to Sitges Spain to have an exhibition and teach a few classes, I love Spain and the Spanish Ladies!! Then home again for a week then an Artful Log Cabin class at the before mentioned Cotton Patch in Lafayette California. Noticing a lot of California classes! Moving back to California has been good for me. I love it here. Then in April I run my Alegre Retreat in Gateway Colorado, go to the web site to learn more about that venue and maybe join us for a really great time. www.alegreretreat.com. Then April ends up with judging then a week of teaching at the big Paducah Quilt show. Then I hope to have a few week brake before I start again. Please check out my itinerary page to see if I will be teaching near you and we could do a class together. until then happy stitching.
love and hugs

From Watercolor to Quilt – 5 day workshop

at Madeline Island School of the Arts
August 28 – September 1, 2017

Come join me for a five day quilting workshop retreat at
Madeline Island School of the Arts in stunning Lake Superior!

Imagine – Five full days to focus on your work! Let the friendly MISA staff take care of the details while you invest in yourself! Believe me – this is truly a quilter’s paradise!

In this class, we will begin by creating our own watercolor paintings – don’t worry, no prior painting experience is needed!

We’ll learn many different techniques, and there is plenty of time for experimentation. You will then choose your most dynamic painting to create your own enlarged template and then translate it into a beautiful, abstract quilt using fabrics. When the quilt is done, it will look like a loose, layered, colorful watercolor painting!

Make the most of your week by staying with me on campus!

Your comfortable rooms overlook a peaceful meadow and are located just steps away from the large, light filled studios. These studios are lined with windows, and can easily accommodate an eight-foot table for each student! They also stay open 24/7 and include bottomless cookie jars and unlimited refreshments.

Speaking of the food –

If you stay on campus, your lodging price includes the weekly meal plan! You will be treated to delicious daily breakfast, lunch and two

on-campus dinners. MISA consistently garners high marks from alumni for their amazing meals, and they work very hard to ensure all dietary needs are met (and exceeded!) with a wide variety of artfully prepared meals – you won’t be disappointed!

 Getting there is easy –

Board the car ferry in Bayfield, Wisconsin and in 20 minutes
you’ll slip into “Island Time.”
MISA also provides a convenient roundtrip shuttle service, from the Duluth, Minnesota airport and will bring you directly to your doorstep on campus.

Please consider joining me for an unforgettable
week of creativity and relaxation
August 28 – September 1, 2017!
