I am concentrating on preparations for teaching at International Quilt Festival in Houston at the end of October. My Beginner Quilting class continues this month. If you missed this class, let me know and I'll schedule it again this session. I will be back with some new classes in November.

I will be the 'hostess' for our Friday Free Sew evening on October 18th.  This is a 'drop in' session, 6:30 - 9:30 pm. Remember, you MUST register for this session ahead of time.

Peggy and I will be in Houston at the end of the month but Susan Teece will be at Calico teaching while we are away. Her Local Landscape with Trees workshop is a perennial favourite!  This is a 2-session class on Wednesdays, October 23 and 30 (6 - 9 pm). Susan has lots of samples and ideas to make your own art quilt in these sessions.
