The Double-Cross /A Someday Quilts Mystery -- GiveAway

It seems like I've been waiting, and waiting for the this latest in Clare's series to come out.

I met Clare O'Donohue on the set of The Quilt Show, way back when we both had our first book coming out and there was little talk of blogs, FaceBook or Twitter... things have definitely moved along since then.

This time around I get to help spread the word about The Double Cross, the further adventures of modern quilter, Nell Fitzgerald.

I can hardly wait... so while we're in the final countdown of days you can help cast our own quilt murder and maybe even win a copy of Clare's book.

To be in the drawing - set to be pulled on September 28th!
It's easy, just leave a comment telling the where and/or how do you see the next quilt murder taking place

(do you see the husband found dead of starvation while his wife's off stitching in the studio, or maybe it a gingher scissors found in the chest of the local quilt guild show judge... it may just be endless)

 I can hardly wait to see what you come up with!

The Quilt Show - Episode 413

Is it really June!?
It is and I have been too busy trying to update and email to get the word out about stuff happening this month. First, and probably the thing I have been looking forward to for almost a year, it the airing of my episode on Fast-Piece Applique, on The Quilt Show. For those unaware this is a webcast tv style magazine (I guess that kind of sums it up). The guest stars are Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson, and I had a ton of fun visiting LaVeta, CO last fall to film my episode with them.

While Ricky and Alex were wonderful, the crew and staff of The Quilt Show were also delightful, and I was lucky enough to share my episode with Clare O'Donohue. She and I were both there with our first books. Mine Dream Landscapes, and Clare's The Lover's Knot! Both of us had a great time! Besides the excitement of being filmed and the live audience there were the visting ghosts at the LaVeta Inn, and a black bear, too!

Clare's mystery was wonderful and she is now writing her third book, with her second due out in September. There's always time for a good mystery and when you add the quilting scene as your backdrop it's not surprising what will happen.

There are other things happening soon that make this month special.
Over the weekend of June 12 thru 14 I will be hosting my SUMMERTIME OPEN STUDIO.

This year the theme will be all about color and there will be a couple of fun color projects to try your hand at while you're there.

Also, this month is the first time I am offering STUDIO WORKSHOPS.This first 2-Day workshop is scheduled for June 27 &28.
Join me for Dream Landscapes. Limited to 4 students. $150 (lunch provided).
