Elly and I had a brief window of time to chat at the end of session 2 of the Empty Spools Seminar last March. What strikes you most about Elly is what a gentle and gracious lady she is… then you discover that she has a great sense of humor.

Visit Elly’s website to learn all about the Elly Sienkiewicz Applique Academy, celebrating it’s 15th year in 2010!

As an Artist in Residence, I will teach “Exploring Fabric Choices for Applique” on Thursday, February 11th.

Here I go — something I thought I’d Never do. One of these days, I will learn not to say NEVER…

Mine is the one in blue.

How could a mom resist those darling faces? So, I’m meeting up with them in Denver today — to chaperone for 10 days. And I thought my Coast-to-Coast road trip was bad ; )

The boys have just released a new CD “Sunnyside”. Below is a list of places that Pacific Lights will be playing for FREE at a local mall! Come and listen, bring your teenagers and we’ll do a meet-up where the guys are performing! If you’re going to join us, comment below and I’ll be on the look-out for you. I’ll be right outside the entrance –  and we’ll be there 30 minutes before and 1 hour (or more!) after the performance.

All performances are P.M.
