This N That #28

Wahoo!  Here's an update from my crazy-busy world!
***************
Are you ready for the long holiday weekend?  I'm so excited I'm not going anywhere and can spend it in my studio working on a challenge piece that will eventually travel.  Oh if the quilts could travel instead of me for a while, that would be something! 
***************
I flew to Baltimore for business right in the middle of my hectic quilt schedule!  While no quilting was done I way overpacked on the projects on the off chance I was stuck somewhere.  It's no surprise that I didn't even touch the projects.
***************
One of my top secret projects is in the "can" and should be able to be announced shortly!
***************
At the beginning of June, I attended the Professional Art Quilt Alliance's meeting, since it was moved closer to my house.  I joined after one meeting.  While there, I was asked to run demos and make-it-take-its by Lois Jarvis (the RustTex lady!).  I had a good time showing folks at the Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fest how to make Mixed Media Artist Trading Cards!
***************
I finished up my last meeting as President of the Riverwalk Quilter's Guild last night.  I'm still on the board, just not leading the group.  Two years went by fast!
***************
I'm going on a ATC retreat with friends in Rochester at the end of July which should be a lot of fun.  The gang I will be hanging out with are all part of a new website called WonderStrange.  You should check them out, they are a riot.
***************
Don't forget I'm running challenges over on Quilting Arts' website!  Our latest challenge is called "It's Elemental"!  Come on over and play!  
***************
That's all for now, but I will have more soon. I promise!
