Welcome!
Spring is here, though it seems most of Maine's "winter" went south to places like Texas and Florida! The Snow Bowl here closed weeks early due to lack of snow! But now the crocus are sprouting, the vultures (a sure sign of spring) are back riding the thermals, and I'm looking forward to a busy season teaching. I had a great time in April at the Arizona Quilt Guild and in May at Herring Run Guild in Massachusetts (May). I'll be at the NQA show in Columbus Ohio (June), and the NQA show in Knoxville, Tennessee (July)! I've decided I hate air travel so much, that I'm driving to the last three, so I'll get to see a lot of the US, too. For details, click on the "Classes" button in the menu bar above--hope to meet some of you in the classes!ThreadWork Unraveled,
my book on all things thread, is now available and has received rave reviews in Quilters Newsletter (April/May 2010 issue), Quilting Arts (April/May 2010 issue) and Down Under Quilts (Australia, issue 140)!!!! They've all said this is a thorough, enjoyable reference book...hooooooray! Please click on the Store tab above or here to learn more. I have listed the book three times: once each for US, Canada and Rest-of-the-World delivery. Please let me know if you would like me to autograph or put a dedication, and (for those outside the US) if there is anything special I should do for the customs slip. All books will be mailed in a flat-rate priority mail (first class) envelope.
In addition to teaching at the International Quilt Festival, Fields of Gold has won a second place ribbon (Art Quilts Miniature) in the juried show in October 2009! Many thanks to Quilting Arts LLC which sponsored the category!
As for teaching, I am now booking for 2011 and 2012. See the schedule below or on the Classes page.
Thanks again for dropping in! Cheers, Sarah
