Two Great Trips
Dragonflies from Charlotte!
I've been on the road quite a bit this last month.I had two lovely trips, one to Charlotte and one to Lansing, MI.
I was at Charlotte to attend the North Carolina Quilt Symposium. This event has gone on for over 20 years, run by different guilds in the state. They bring in a bevy of fabulous teachers. This is the third one I've been to over the years. It's an amazing and wonderful meeting of great and grand quilters.
I also got to share a suite with Patti Culea, who is the most fun doll maker I know.
This is such a wonderful event. More amazing is that different guilds put it on every year.
We did two classes, Dragonfly Sky and the Thread Magic Overview Book. Here's one of my student's fabulous dragonflies.
I always love it when I get to go and meet people at guilds and symposiums. Quilters really are the best folk in the world.
Next week, I'm off to Long Island at Smithtown Stitchers.
Here's the schedule. It's time to pack my bags. Hope to see you there!

A Visitor from Australia
It's a very ancient saying, but a true and honest thought. For if you become a teacher, by your student's you'll be taught. The King and I
For years I've offered independent studio time to folk who want to come and learn just what they want on their schedule. Classes are great, but they are a group thing. I make an effort to work with the people who want to do something special and different in class, but a classroom day is about what the group wants to do. As a teacher you pass their desk, help as you can, and wish there were more time in the day.
So studio time is so much more focused. In a classroom you're a teacher. But in studio time, you can be a mentor.
Genny Frazer came from Cairns, Australia. When I asked her what she'd like to learn she said "Everything". And that's what we did. We dyed fabric. we worked on color theory. She did a piece with two magnificent bobbin worked fish. She played with organza, Angelina Fiber, and painted lace. She helped me design a new piece that was a portrait of her called Genny in the Fall, which she's taking back with her to Australia. We worked on zigzag embroidered appliqué. She had a torid romance with Finnie, my greyhound. And she sewed endlessly into the night, getting up whenever her machine called her name. She stayed for a whole wonderful week.
One of the things that made the week work so much better is that Genny is a Bernina girl too. She has a 440 Aurora at home, so when I sat her down to my 630 she was right at home. Berninas are a universal language. She sewed like a mad woman.
Did she have fun? You bet. Did I? It's contagious.
Genny's not a famous quilter, yet. But she has the passion that I think will someday take her there if she wants. Most of all she knows how to treat herself to the things that give her joy.
Can you come for Independant Studio Time with Ellen?
Of course! Just call or write us at the studio and we'll set it up.
