On this day of protests across the U.S., we did a Resist! lecture/workshop combination. Thank you Stone House Quilters for having the courage to listen and have a difficult discussion. Thank you for daring and caring) greatly. Joe and I are looking so forward to seeing YOUR completed quilts about issues of importance to you. So many beautiful ideas! For centuries, women have raised their voices through their quilts.Stone House Quilters

When in Paris…shop for fabric (and eat, of course!)!! I made a return visit to the fabulous 5-story Marche Sainte-Pierre and found a new favorite, Frou-Frou. They offer gorgeous quilting cottons, a zillion decorative buttons and a huge haberdashery selection. Quilters Paradise!! Pure delight!
