As you may already know, I appeared as the featured artist
on TQS in show 312. If you didn't have the opportunity to see this show the
first time around, now you'll have the chance to see it—and so many other
terrific shows—at no cost in this unprecedented three-day offer.
I hope that you'll share this information with all of your
quilting friends. It's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy three days of learning
and fun without leaving your home…all for free.
Enjoy the shows, and thanks for helping to spread the word!
I filmed with Andrea Brokenshire, who make wonderful floral quilts with confetti background. Andrea says the botanicals represent life to her. She developed this confetti background idea in
2005. She doesn’t garden (a woman after my own heart) but her Mother is a
Master Gardener. 
Filming with a live audience helps me relax in front of the camera. Many of the audience members come to lots of tapping's. They always film in March in the Denver area, so if you live close, check out their website for tickets next year! 
Starting today, in honor of International Quilting Weekend,
March 20-22, 2015, The Quilt Show (www.thequiltshow.com), the web TV show
hosted by Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, will open all of its shows from the
first nine series-- shows 100-1513 --for the entire weekend. This means that,
for three special days, everyone will have the chance to view over 200 shows,
featuring some of the quilting world’s leading artists, for FREE. 
Today was one busy day. It started with a long ride to Lindon WA, to present my lecture, Quilt Toppings for the ladies of the Northwest Quilt Connection. This is a group that gathers 5 times a year to feed their passion for
quilting in all forms–Art, Contemporary, Traditional. They are from
British Columbia, Canada and Washington State. The meetings rotate
around so be sure to check back for meeting locations and information. 
There is a cute shop in town, I just had to visit. Owners Sharylann and Thelma are dedicated quilters and have made Tangled Threads into the kind of shop they would want to visit: warm, friendly
and relaxed, brimming with books and patterns to inspire, busy with
classes and projects, and bursting with a delightful variety of fabrics
and notions.
