I'm on the faculty for the NQA show.....if you are attending, please stop by and say hello. Thurs. morning I'll be presenting a lecture (registration required but I'm sure there is plenty of room), followed by "Decorative Beading Techniques" an afternoon workshop. On Friday I'll lead "Beading Basics & Beyond", and Saturday my class is "Improve Your Hand Quilting Stitches". Both my beading classes are full and there are only 3 spots left in the hand quilting class. Though, if you are interested, be sure to check with their registration booth as often there are last minute changes.

June is a busy month for quilt conferences and shows across the US.......with less then 24 hours at home, I'll head out right again to the Vermont Quilt Festival. 'The husband' will be Mr. Mom....holding down the home fort and probably happy to have some alone time!!
