Busy week -- *on* topic

I've just had a rather busy week! Wednesday evening our guild president,
the other VP and I entertained Sharyn Craig (my all-time favorite
teacher! G) at dinner. What fun that was! I just adore her, and it was
nice that she remembered me from the other 4-5 classes I've had from
her. LOL!

Thursday I spent the entire day at a circle (= bee) meeting, followed by
a guild meeting that evening, with Sharyn as the guest speaker. She's
wonderful to listen to -- as always.

Yesterday I was in class all day, learning her technique for the
Northwind block and its several variations. I wish I could also have
taken her Royal Cross class today, but two of my DGSs will be spending
the afternoon/night with us, so it was out of the question. Besides, I'm
pooped! G But it's a good pooped, and now I have some ideas for using
the Northwind block in a quilt .... Still, I may pop over to the class
later and pick up her templates for the Royal Cross -- it's rather
gorgeous!

How fun!

I adore Sharon Craig too.

This week Lyn Mann stayed with us. She spoke at our guild on Wednesday
(and I can't tell you how many people have mentioned her carmel and red
quilt) and taught a workshop Thursday on making scrappy quilts with
challenging fabrics. After class we hit the local quilt shops. She
went home Friday.

Today our guild put on a quilting day at the local senior center. I did
a hand quilting demo. It was fun but not too busy.

I'm pooped too and it looks like a tornado hit my sewing room to boot.

Isn't she great? Unfortunately, she's retiring next year, so she won't
be back to our area.

It's a busy time when an out-of-towner comes to a guild, isn't it? G

You've just described my sewing room, too, Marcella! LOL!

And that green is *most* becoming, Estelle. I was so lucky to have
had this experience.

Oh bummer. No teaching at all or can we go to her for a class?

As far as I know, it will be no teaching at all. She wants time to enjoy
her grandchildren.

Lucky you, Sandy! I took a class from Sharyn Craig
about 1989 and really enjoyed her style of teaching.
She is a gracious woman and an excellent teacher. I
look forward to seeing your project.

I just love her classes, Pat, and I'll miss them. As for my project, it
may take a while, since I still have to decide which of the eight
variations I want to make (or all?) and how to set them. G Oh, and the
colors, too! LOL!
