As many of you know I had open heart surgery in April and now I have a cow valve. Some of you will think I am weird and others of you already know I am weird! But, I seem to have this odd connection that I want to pay homage to the cow. I just purchased this amazing painting by Emily Garces. I love it. It is now hanging right inside the door so everyone who enters the back door will see it. I loved the design and the colors. It makes me happy. It has to be the most adorable cow painting of all time. It was great working with Emily. She was very prompt with her emails and shipping. I had the cow hanging within in about five days of when I first emailed her! To see more of Emily’s work visit her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/emilygarcesart
Thank you Emily for sharing your artistic talent and thank you to the cow who gave me your valve.

I traveled to Delaware this week. I was in Georgetown, a small, historic town located not too far from the beach.
We stayed at the Brick Hotel right on the square. The rooms were very large and nice. The evening desserts were even better!
This is the square, or should I say circle, in downtown Georgetown.
Check out the old court house. It was constructed in 1791 and housed all the court and county workers.
And then of course the newer, but still historic court house located within a short distance of the old court house.
The gardens surrounding the Brick were wonderful.
Here are some of my happy students.
This is where I wished I was…on the beach in nearby Lewes.

Student’s Work
I received another great email from a student this week. Von Yetzer took my Fiesta Mexico-Block Nine workshop when I taught in Longmont, CO. This is her first hand applique project. Can you believe this is her first project? My first applique project did not look any where near this good. You did a great job Von. Thanks for sharing.
This week I am off to Quilt Odyssey in Hershey, PA….a nice short drive from home. Hope to see you at the show.
