Trying to dig out from the moving “rubble” – I only wish I could find my good microphone and the power cords to my sewing machines!
My trip to Nancy’s Quilt Shop in Las Vegas was mega-fun! No, I didn’t win any money because I don’t gamble – but we did see Toto again, with our son Ryan and his wife, Karen. So much fun!
I met some wonderful quilters and had an opportunity to do two brief interviews while there with Kathalynn Thwing and Catherine Ferrier.

Annie’s Country Quilts in New Zealand. Thanks to Pat Leask, who is pictured here while on vacation. Pat says; “I have been a bit out of touch plus behind at least by a couple podcasts as have just returned from a wonderful trip to New Zealand – mainly holiday for our entire family (daughter 21 and son 25 along too!) and a conference for my hubby. We were there almost 3 weeks and drove over 3400km in our rental car (country is only 1200km long – must’ve been those winding roads – lol). But did manage to cajole my family to stopping at a couple wonderful quilt shops for me to look in along the way.
One in particular was wonderful and had to send you a pic. as it sounds like your namesake plus it was just sooo cute – “Annie’s Country Quilt Store” just on the edge of Ashburton not too far from Christchurch. I’m afraid I did considerable ‘damage’ here on some lovely NewZealand designed quilting fabric plus some fabric for a pattern I bought earlier at another store.
But I just had to send you a pic. – this is located in a heritage home and I found the “sheep” in the front so darling with their “bed-spring” wool on them – lol!”

What lovely things.
Annie, your podcasts are marvelous. Keep up the good work!
I think the production of podcasts like yours befits the sight-impaired. Keep up the good work.
Great show!
Annie’s Country Quilts is a wonderful quilt shop and so surprised to see it on your blog/podcast. My visit to this shop a few years ago was exciting as the shop was holding a quilt show of it’s customers. I came home with a few ideas for quilts based on the patron’s beautiful patchwork. Enjoy your podcasts!
