I'm Just Sayin

Woohoo! I'm very excited to share with you some wonderful events happening in La Veta this coming June! You'll want to mark your calendars and plan a visit to our unique little mountain town to see a local production of "The Quilters" and a special exhibition of quilts made by world renown quilters such as David Taylor, Alex Anderson, Libby Lehman, myself and more! Justin Shults and myself have collected quilts over the past decade or so. The quilts on exhibit are from our private collection.

For tickets to the play, visit the website for the Francisco Center for the Performing Arts in La Veta. The play features “The Legacy Quilt” which I designed (shown below) and was made by members of the Colorado Quilting Council. The quilt will be raffled at the end of the last performance and all proceeds will go to the Francisco Center for the Performing Arts.

Ricky’s La Veta Quilt Retreat ended this past weekend. A lot of really great quilts were started and three quilt tops were completely finished! In attendance at this retreat were four Brits and one German as well as the Ponnie Brinkmann Scholarship winner.

Retreats happen at various times throughout the year. The best way to get on the notification list is to be sure you have your email on the Pre-notificatlon list for Retreats. Sign up here!

I'm on a whirlwind, coast-to-cast tour of Canada! So far I've been to Kelowna, B.C. and Edmontaon, AB. Today I am heading to Ontario!

Thanks Edmonton for the great Alberta welcome - and thanks for the group from Saskatchewan who came to the event here transported in limo luxury. Check this out!!!!

You may remember that I was the winner of the BERNINA Facebook Faceplate Face-off last year. Well, the machines featuring my design are now available at your local BERNINA dealer. If you are in the market for a great mid-level machine, or for perhaps as your travel machine to take to classes, consider getting this limited edition B-350.

Here I am, pictured,seeing the specialty boxes and machine for the first time during my recent BERNINA shop tour.
