Cuba? Can't Wait!

Tomorrow I am heading out to Long Island, NY, place of my birth. Well, not exactly where I am going. I will be able to wave to my town as I drive almost all of the way to the end of the island, Rocky Point. I'm visiting the Eastern Long Island Quilt Guild for a Curvalicious workshop and then to share my silk quilts in the evening.

I'll be gone three days and then I'll have a one day turn around to cuddle with my puppy before we head to Cuba. I am so excited about this trip. I can't wait to see the architecture, the old cars and of course the cement tiles. You know how I lived turning the Mexican tiles into quilts from my book !Quilt Fiesta!

I'm not sure I'll be able to post any photos while I'm gone because I'm not sure there will be internet.

When I return home, I will be working on my second newsletter and will share some photos from Cuba. Also, I will include a video for the construction of my folding fiber book from Holland. It was a bike and barge trip in the land of windmills and tulips.

Lots of people have asked me how I construct these books. I videoed a 6 part class where I share how I create each page and then how I put them all together. Plus, there will be another recipe from Don's Kitchen and more quilty goodness. If you need to sign up for my newsletter, click HERE. I'd love to have you join me on my journey.

For better or worse, I have become aware of the importance of social media in promoting and growing a business. It's important to reach as many people as possible. I appreciate that you read what I write, and I share because we all have an interest in quilting or art. Would I rather spend my days at my sewing machine, stitching, designing and creating? I would, but then how could I share my knowledge with you. So I've decided that it's time to try and expand my audience.

So first I will share with you my most recent Mini Mosaic that I have named "Heart Milagros". This is what I really love to do- Design, Create and Share.

Then I will share that I am trying to offer information that you really want to read as well as consolidate my social media.I have 2 Facebook pages. One is my personal page and the other is my Professional page. I will only be posting quilty stuff to my professional page. To receive this stuff, you need to "like" me. You can do that by clicking HERE. I will no longer post to my personal page.

In addition to posting quilty goodness on Facebook, I will be sending out a monthly newsletter. The newsletter will include what I'm working on or have completed, a link to a free video tutorial, a fun artsy app, where I'll be teaching or exhibiting that month plus a recipe from Don's kitchen. (I'm so excited that he has decided to share his yummy recipes.)

If you have not been receiving emails from me, it means that you are not on my mailing list. To be put on my mailing list, click HERE. if you're already signed up for my emails, but you're not sure, it will let you know. A response in red will tell you.

I am so excited about sending out my first monthly newsletter. It will come out the beginning of September and include a tour of my studio, with a Show and Tell of a couple of my bicycle quilts plus my favorite tools. You'll have to sign up to find out my favorite photo transformation app and which recipe Don will be sharing. I know you will enjoy it.

I'd love for you to help me work on my goals of providing you with information that will interest you as well as growing my social media following.
