This weekend I had the great, good fortune of teaching at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky. If you have never visited the museum you should make plans to go and if you’ve been there you should make plans to go back. http://www.quiltmuseum.org
I had a great group of students. Good looking group…don’t you think?
The workshop space is fantastic. Lots of light and plenty of table space.
The museum offers different workshops throughout the year. You really should check it out and treat yourself. It’s great one-on-one time with your instructor for three days.
While visiting the National Quilt Museum, the staff was hanging a new exhibit “The Quilts of Pat Campbell.” This exhibit will run from September 19 through November 18. Pat had a great influence on many quilters. I love her work and truly miss her. The exhibit of her work is fun to see.

The Charlottesville Area Quilters Guild asked for permission to use my “Midnight Floral Fantasy” pattern (now out of print) for their raffle quilt and of course I said yes. The quilt is finished and they shared this photo. They named it “Posies and Pineapples”. I like the name change and the quilt looks amazing. I hope you make lots of money ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for sharing your photo.

BOOK REVIEW
On my flight to Kentucky I finished reading “One Plus One” by Jojo Moyes. This is the third book of hers that I have read this year. Kind of get the idea that I like her? I won’t rate this as my favorite of her books but I did like it. It held my interest. Even though I sometimes think I know where a book is going I cannot stop reading in case I am wrong. I was right on this one. Jess and her two kids are on their own. Her husband left them because he was having trouble adjusting. Jess cleans houses and works part-time at a local pub trying desperately to make ends meet as her husband sends no support. Her daughter is a math wiz and her stepson is always getting bullied. I would recommend this if you like a nice romantic novel.
