Saturday: It all started last Saturday the 13th with the “Girls Day Out” Event at Mary Jo’s.  This event launched the new sewing classes and the Baby Lock machines they are now selling.

Here’s Aimee, she’s super excited about the new classes that Mary Jo’s offers.

Pattie is teaching paper-piecing, fabric bowls and several other fun classes.

Carmen teaches gorgeous smocking techniques. Wow! I’m teaching free-motion quilting, thread painting and wholecloth painting. Girls Day Out was a huge success. I’m so glad I was a part of it.

Monday: I got to teach my free-motion quilting class, Machine Quilting Basics. We learned curvy and geometric free-motion designs. We had a great time and learned a lot. Here is a picture of us.

Wednesday: I got the news that both of my entries had been accepted in the IQA: Quilts: A World of Beauty show in Houston! I was hoping that one entry would be accepted but when I got the email that both had been accepted I almost fell out of my chair.
Here is my entry Blooming Poppy.

I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next week!
