I had the pleasure of working with the guild in Naples, Florida this past week. Great group…so appreciative. I taught one hand and one machine applique workshop. Here are some of the ladies hard at work in the hand applique workshop.
The classes were held at a really nice quilt shop called “Flash. Sew and Quilt”. It was a great classroom.
After the first day of classes we rushed to the beach to see the sunset.
There were several wind surfers on the beach. There was strong wind and these guys and girls were flying across the waves. Fascinating.
Directly behind us, on the beach, was this amazingly beautiful full moon.
While we were enjoying some sun in Florida our part of the world was getting hit with a very, very big snow storm. Here is what Joe’s car looked like in the parking lot at the airport when we returned. It took him 30 minutes to shovel enough snow to move the car out of the spot. Crazy.
Joe keeps a heater in the bird bath during the winter and our vulture buddy came to visit. We don’t normally see the vultures during the winter. He was having a good old time.

I am a Linwood Barclay fan and I did enjoy his new book “Broken Promise”.
David Harwood and his young son have moved back in with his parents after his wife passed away. David lost his job at the newspaper. David’s cousin, Marla, lost a child at birth and has had issues adjusting. Someone drops a baby off at Marla’s house and David finds his cousin and baby at her home when he stops to check on her. The story line has some good twists and the book definitely kept my interest.
I’m off to the Dallas area this week to teach at The Kathy Dunigan Academy of Applique.
