Monday – April 28, 2003

 Travels:  Ireland; Chicago, IL
Well, April is almost over and Ricky has racked-up the miles once more.  April found Ricky in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, followed by Chicago for Spring Festival, and finally, Paducah for the AQS Show.   

For May, Ricky and Justin will travel through Ireland where Ricky will be teaching and lecturing.  After the tour in Ireland is over, these two will travel to North Wales where they’ll visit their friends, Rebecca & Barrie Collins.  On their way back to the U.S., they will stop in Chicago to visit the North Surburban Quilt Guild where Ricky will teach and lecture. 

Quilt Awards:  Bohemian Rhapsody & New World Symphony
Both of Ricky’s quilts were entered in last month’s shows.  The following are the results:

                Quilter’s Heritage – “Bohemian Rhapsody” – 3^rd place in Applique

                                                       “New World Symphony” -  Judges Choice 

                AQS – “Bohemian Rhapsody” – 1^st place Mixed Technique/Professional

                            “New World Symphony” – 3^rd place Traditional/Professional.  

DVD's & VHS: VHS are ready to ship
 Finally, after numerous delays by the manufacturer, the Quilting Caveman Style and Fishin’ VHS’s are ready to ship.  Ricky and Justin will have 1 day between returning from Paducah and leaving for Ireland in which to package and ship those that have been pre-purchased.  The VHS  tab on the website will be turned-on as well so those who have been waiting paitently will be able to place their order online. 

Internet Store : Temporarily Closed
With the trips to Paducah and Ireland, the Internet Store will be closed until Justin returns after May 19^th.  You may still place orders on the web or leave wholesale orders by phone, but please be aware they will not be processed until then.  They are very sorry for this inconvenience, but hope you understand.
