Hi to the Sierra Quilt Guild of Tuolumne County members! Ooops — I’m sorry to have said “Tuolumne Guild”!

Here are Emily and Rich Hinkel.

Emily is a QS listener and friend. They own the Fireside Pizza Company (sorry — I messed that name up too — it’s not “Firestone”) at Squaw Valley, CA. The Fireside is Zagat rated.

Agendas for the week…
Monday: meeting for lunch at Archibald’s (mmmmm good, by the way!)

Pictured from left to right: Nique Love, Annie, Karen Anderson, Lauri Drean, Valerie Burton and Kim Merrill.

Pine Needles at Gardner Village located at West Jordan, Utah.
Quilt Haven
Nielsen’s Frozen Custard (where it’s sometimes more important to have a treat and talk than shop for fabric — could that really be?!)

Tuesday:
Utah Quilter’s Picnic at Liberty Park — just look at the fun we had!

left to right: Renae Haddadin, Julie Popa’s mom (and Diana McClun’s cousin — for real!), Jaclyn Popa, Charlotte Warr Andersen, Karen Anderson, Julie’s son, Jenny Wilding Cardon with Jack, Julie’s daughter, Carol Adams, Julie Popa, Emily Bailey, Connie Cawley, Valerie Burton, me, and Stacy Anderson with baby.

Thursday:
a visit with Brad, Nauvoo Quilt Festival

Robin and I are packing up the car with his youth conference bag and a huge bundle of quilts for lectures and workshops that will be held in Utah next week.

I really wanted to do a “little” podcast (have I ever been able to do a “little” podcast??) before I left, but there are just too many loose ends I need to get done before I can fire up the microphone.

I do have a long list of podcast material to collect while I’m on my trip. I don’t want to tell you quite yet what I will be doing, but one event includes a quilter’s picnic, good food, pictures and my iRiver (mobile podcast recorder).

If WebGuy is handy and technology holds together, I’ll do something special for your listening pleasure from the road.

Stay tuned… I won’t be gone long!

Hi Quilters,

This week has been incredibly busy for me. We finished moving into our new digs earlier last week and now the dreaded unpacking. Currently, I’m in Sonora, California, the Gold Rush Country, presenting a lecture and a two-day workshop.

I thank everyone for their patience. The newsletter is late and I owe you a podcast.

Here’s the podcast.

I proudly present to your the Quilting Stash Quilt Market report with listener Phyllis Barnett. Below is the list of links covered in our show this week. Pictures will come shortly.
