Everyone that I talk to agrees on one thing. This summer has flown by. I know it has for me. It has been such a busy summer and I thought I needed to justify why I have not gotten on my bicycle - not even once. (OK - I just remembered that I did go for a ride with my son, where he left me in the dust.) My bike stares at me every time I pull into the garage. It's silently saying "ride me, ride me". I want to, but my studio is calling at the same time. When I see cyclists out on the road enjoying the beautiful weather, flying along the hills, I want to be out there too. There are just not enough hours in the day and by this point I am so out of shape that I think instead of flying up the hills, I would be walking my bike up those hills, huffing and puffing the whole way.
So here's my justification list:
- Mosaic Pet Retreat - A great long weekend with a great bunch of students. Loren and I finished the Cooper top. Now it's om my to do list to quilt it.
- MAQ- I taught 3 wonderful classes at Mt St Mary's University reconnecting with students and friends from years past and making some new friends. It does take a lot of work to get ready to teach 3 separate workshops.

Curvalicious Pillows - The Perfect Finish |
- AQS quilt show in Syracuse - This was a wonderful experience with Don as my co-pilot. I demoed my heart out for 4 days, sold a bunch of tools and made lots of new Curvalicious fans. Plus, Curvalicious found a place in 3 new quilt shops!
I was so motivated by this show that I am in the process of signing up for the AQS show in Daytona Beach next February.
- Torah Covers Commission - I designed, created and delivered 2 High Holiday Torah covers to Temple Sholom in Broomall
- Shhhhhhhh - I worked on one other project for close to a month, that I can't wait to share, but not yet. I am bursting at the seams with excitement. More info to come in October.
The Fall is coming and I have lots of speaking engagements coming up. Check the tabs above for the dates. It is also a wonderful time to be outside riding. Hmmmmm.
Cooper looks great!
