2. Prizes are all ready for each day at my retreat. We will be using the Focused Fitness Classroom next door to my studio so I have access to my library, paints, quilts, fabrics and anything else we need to tell our life's Stories in beautiful fabrics. It is so much fun.
3. We have girls coming from New York, Maryland, Virginia, California,  Canada, Spirit Lake, and Tri Cities.  Some people say that they cannot come because they live too far. That is the point of coming! Come see Washington and Idaho and the Great Northwest!

 One girl is going to do many blocks from my new book Hoochy-Two-chy. This dog is pretty darn lovable. Hee hee.

 I started this basket in my studio and I am working on borders. Then I am adding an angel and many flowers and leaves and some kind of a letter. Can't wait to continue it and tell a story about something in my life. What would you tell?

        I will be telling the dates for next year soon. I will have it during Farm Chicks and Art Fest again. It is so much fun going to see both. Farm Chicks is online if you Google it.

Later this week we will go to Coeur d'Alene Idaho fir a field trip and lunch at the hotel ad fabric shopping. It promises to be a great week for all of us!
