Maple Island Quilts
January through April Private workshops, personal
travel and studio time. Yes, I’m working on something that
I’m very excited about and will be great fun for you.
May 1-3. Nancy’s Notions Sewing Expo. This is a new adventure
for me as I travel to Wisconsin to be part of Nancy’s big
weekend event. You will see me on the Main Stage doing a 1.5 hour
lecture, trunk show and demonstrations of piecing tips and tricks.
May 17 Duluth MN. It’s not a workshop, but it is very
exciting to us. Our son Kyle is graduating from college with
a degree in Urban Studies. Many of you might feel you know him
as he is featured in Quilts for the Dorm. We are so proud of him.

I am proud to be participating in the Alzheimer's
Art Quilt Initiative, a program to raise awareness
and fund research for Alzheimer’s disease. It has two
parts: a traveling art quilt exhibit interpreting Alzheimer’s
in fiber art that will tour the US for three years and an
on-going sale of small art quilts. All proceeds from both
the traveling show and the small art quilt sale will go to
Alzheimer’s research. If you would like to be involved
you can read all the details at www.alzquilts.org.

There is now a book of all the quilts in the traveling exhibit.
The designer of each quilt tells a bit of their quilts story. It
is quite a book. Consider giving the book to any friend that is
dealing with Alzheimer’s. See the book at www.alzquilts.org
I’m making a quilt for the traveling show in honor of my
mother in law, Martha Louise Bowles. The traveling show will be
something you will want to see as many of your favorite fiber artists
will be involved. I’ll post a photo of my quilt when it is
done.
