::Island Bound::

My quilts and I’ll be hitting the road Thursday for three lovely days on Lopez Island.  After last spring’s Friday Harbor Retreat Anne of the island’s Quilter’s Studio asked me if I would come teach on Lopez and I’d have to be crazy to pass up an opportunity to go to the islands and teach.

Here’s Anne’s write up:

::Quilting Modern::

Two of my favorite workshops and time well spent with some lovely people.  My friends work a wonderful farm and raise goats on the island so I also have an opportunity to catch up and hopefully eat some delish goat’s milk fudge.  I’m looking forward to going back to Friday Harbor to teach at the fall retreat too.

Hope you all have a great week.  I’m pretty thrilled that school’s almost out.
