Quilting
Friends,
What
a great season of quilt shows to attend!
I wish for you that you find the time to attend two or three between now
and April.
The
other day the refrigerator broke down (again!) and my husband decided he wanted
to try his hand at fixing it. He found
a great website for this: www.RepairClinic.com. They have a “Part Detective” and a “Repair
Guru” that really make it easy to figure out which part will fix the problem
and how to replace the part. The web is
truly amazing for this kind of thing.
Give it a try.
Also,
I’d like to tell you about Pat Tribbey’s Florida Quilting website, if you
haven’t already found it. She lists
quilting activities in Florida, but also has a great listing of Florida Quilt
Guilds and Florida Quilt Shops. Take a
look and help Pat keep it updated with YOUR guild and YOUR favorite quilt shop:

EXHIBIT & WORKSHOPS IN MYRTLE BEACH, SC
The
Burroughs/Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC is currently exhibiting Dottie
Moore’s quilts along with the quilts of
Marlene O'Bryant Seabrook and the painted gourds of Tejouila Turner, another
woman artist. This exhibit was inspired
by a project that I have been working on since 1996 called "Piecing a
Quilt of Life." It is a project
that celebrates the creativity of women in both life and art.
The
Burroughs/Chapin Museum is offering two workshops. One entitled "Women's Stories: Women's Creativity which will
be for all women. The other is a
mini-retreat for quilters. It will be
Friday evening and all day Saturday.

intent.

for this experience. This mini-retreat is designed to deepen and refine your
personal quilting style, inspire new directions for your quilt art and/or

mini-retreat will begin on Friday, February 27th, 4-6 pm with a tour of
Inspired by Nature: The Art Quilts of Dottie Moore, followed by a reception.
