Open Season for Travel

Hi Quilters —

I just got back from Southern California and the Orange Grove Quilters Guild. What a great guild! If I lived in So. Cal., I would join their guild.

That trip is just the beginning of my Teach and Travel season. Here is some of my upcoming travel:

I’m going to be a featured guest here:

Fisher, Louisiana

and here:

While I was in So. Cal., I attended the Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds “Meet the Teachers” event. Each teacher set up a booth of quilts and projects for the Guild Programs Chairs to see, then we gave a three minute introduction of our lectures and workshops. The fabulous quilter who was in the booth next to me was the lovely Tammie Bowser.

Click on Tammie’s name above to visit her website. She has online videos and online classes. She may be teaching in your area.

What a great surprise it was! I love Tammie’s art and have followed her ever since I first saw her quilts (pre-Simply Quilts). She’s someone that I’ve wanted to interview for my podcast for many years, but we haven’t been in the same place at the same time. Being booth-mates gave us the opportunity to get to know each other better — what a treat!

 Now, back to packing…. I’m heading for the Quilt Capital of the Universe –none other than Paducah, KY — for the first time in my life! I’m SO excited.

Would you like to meet-up with me at Paducah? Just send me an email at annie@simplearts.com and let me know. I’ll be there Wednesday – Friday evening and already have a couple of friends to meet. I’d love to meet you too! Just let me know ; )

Happy Quilting —

Annie
