Hello Everyone,

All year I had been waiting to attend the retreat at Judy Niemeyer's training center in Kalispell, Montana.  This month all Certified Instructors (CI)  were heading back there to re-certify and to learn the newest Technique of the Month (TOM), the Vintage Rose.  Oh what fun I had... 5 straight days of sewing, demos, business meetings, friends, food, fun and so much more!!!

All of us goofing off in this pic!  From left to right:  Kelly Grant, Sherida Giddings, Joanne Wearing, Ginny Radloff, Julie Arrowood, Judy Niemeyer (seated), Eileen Urbanek, Me, Deborah Brezindine.  (Missing:  Kathi Carter, Kristin Bender)

One of the best parts of this retreat is seeing the different colors that all the CIs were working on.  Everyone of us had different colors that we were using and they were all outstanding!  I want to give you all a little peek of everyone's quilts!

If you want to take this class you can check my schedule here OR if you want me to come to your local shop have them contact me here.  I would love to teach you all how to make this beauty.  If you can't take a class the pattern will be available January, 2017 in our shop!  It will not be available until then.
