You Know What Makes Me SMILE? People Who Smile!

 Photos here are taken at different workshops across the US and you will recognize some of the photos are my retreat photos of people who came to Idaho. Above is a wreath class I taught and her great creative take on my wreath (love it) and below is the always beautiful Kathy Collins from Georgia who I get to see at least once a year....
It makes me smile to look at these photos of many of you who come in here and visit and I have this Queen on my window sill who waves everytime the sun comes out-she was a gift from tasuti Zoo and I love her!
MISS TINA below is in the middle and she is our CHEF at my Idaho Retreat this year flying in from the LA area...can you tell she is fun? AND she is a fabulous cook too! Sue and De who are still recovering from their car accident are next to her. Thankfully they are doing better and better.
As I said, I smile when someone else is smiling and I am thankful for so many quilting friends who love to smile with their creativity. If you aren't smiling and laughing as you create, something is missing. :0) Hope this made you happy too

  1. I recognized a few ladies and I wonder, have you ever had a class where someone didn't smile, lol.

  4. It is the smiling people oin my classes that make me smile and Sandy thank you for asking if everyone smiles....."almost." There surely are alot of NICE quilters who love to be happy out there...wonderful for people who want life to be happy and uncomplicated in this world. We like to focus on what is right and happy and not on the opposite. :0) Thanks for your comments ladies!

  5. Your classes look like such fun! I've bought your book "Out of the Box" and I'm going to spend a little time over Easter planning a quilt to make for my eldest son's friend who is getting married on Easter Monday (the same day that I was married on 27 years ago.) Yikes! They are getting married at a winery and I thought that I would take photos and then use ideas from those with your easy block making style, and of course, put in a cow and some geese (because the winery has a flock of geese).
