All of those Talkin� Turkeys, In All of the Colors!


Oh my goodness!

It�s a mountain of scraps!

This huge table of strippy stringy happiness has been a source of much delight for quilters on retreat with us in Ripley, West Virginia this week!

Everyone was told to �bring stuff for the table � to take some, to leave some� and they did not disappoint!

YES! And then of course we have the rivaling Ohio Red right across the river � must include some of that, too!

Our workshop yesterday was Talkin� Turkey from my book String Fling.

As seen in Houston!! An On Ringo Lake Mini! Made by Inna Rohrberg from Germany. This has me so blown away, and I want to thank those who have sent photos from Houston while I was in Indiana!

A Box Kite Retreat Day to Play!

So many Box Kite Blocks! The quilters started arriving early! By 7:30 am they were pulling in, anxious to set up their work stations and getting ready for our Box Kite workshop from the Addicted to Scraps book that would fill our afternoon with abundant scrappy fun! And if they happened to find there was not quite enough variety in the stash they brought, they could easily dive into this and come up with something interesting to add to their mix: Did You Click to Read the Whole Story?
