and a Reality Check
One of the reminders from my time at the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show is that I’m quirky. Shocking! I love being quirky.
Embrace quirk, let go of seriousness. Seriously.
So, this weekend during the lecture “Surprise I’m a Free Motion Quilter” the end of the lecture came, as I made decisions about quilts to share I picked up Shine Your Light, my tribute Quilt to Yvonne Porcella as the last quilt. I started talking about Yvonne, SAQA, the inspiration for the quilt, and how Donna ice dyed the fabric that year that Eastern MA got over 100” of snow. There came a moment when I got choked up, heart in throat, tears welling in my eyes. I didn’t realize how much this quilt means to me.
In just a few short weeks from now the Connections Quilt Festival will take place in Nashua, NH November 9 – 11. The Generation Q Magazine Quilt as Desired Exhibit will be there on display with all of the information on each one of the quilts.
I get to teach three different classes:
Thursday – Beginner Free Motion Quilting/Permission to Free Motion Quilt.
Friday – Let Your Foot Loose be Fancy & Free/Intermediate/Advanced Machine Quilting
Saturday – Go Mini or Go Home – Lone Star
this outta be so much fun, and I’m can hardly wait to see you there.
I’ll be participating in a facebook live on the Connections Quilt Festival fb page at 10:00 Eastern this morning. Come join us! Here’s a link to the video
Happy Quilting
