At Suzzie's Quilt Shop...
Today I was the featured speaker for the
quilting club at Suzzie's Quilt Shop in Manassas, VA. I had a lot of fun!
Thank you to the 37 ladies and the gentleman that came to hear me talk
about Free Motion Quilting, Brain Hemispheres and my passion for quilts.
It was great meeting all of you. I hope to see you again soon at the
shop or at one of my classes. Thank you Susy for inviting me!

Quilters Unlimited Quilt Show 2013
Last weekend I went to the Quilters Unlimited
Quilt Show 2013 in Chantilly, VA, and I really enjoyed it. There was a
display of great quilts to feed my hungry eyes and lots of vendors (now
I’m broke)!
The guild was founded 40 years ago. Annandale was the first chapter. This year I was able to volunteer at the annual quilt show as a “white-glove lady”. White Glove Ladies are the only people entrusted and allowed to actually touch the quilts during a show (in case someone asks to see the back of a quilt or wants to examine quilt’s details close up). This gave me the opportunity to see all the quilts closer, touch them, and talk about them with people who came to see the show. It was great!
And guess what? I was interviewed by The Voice of America (VOA) – multimedia US government broadcaster that broadcasts news and information about America to other countries in 43 languages. They asked me about how my quilting hobby has been transformed into a passion and I also showed my “Chocolate and Cherries” quilt which was displayed in the show as part of the “Whisper Quilts Challenge” from the Arlington chapter.
It really was a great show, so mark your calendar for next year May 30th - June 1st. For more information go to: www.quiltersunlimited.org
