Last Saturday my segment on Quilting Arts TV aired on our local PBS station, with my discussion about how to audition coordinating fabrics with those amazing and sometimes perplexing large scale prints!

We've just posted this segment on our video page – so have a look and then share your thoughts and questions about working with large scale prints.

Sophie and I had a blast at the Long Beach Quilt Show last weekend, and we shot 2 videos with Bonnie McCaffery which you'll see here in the next few weeks. Sophie and I both did our own video review of some of our favorite pieces – it was a lot of fun!

My kids start school in 2 1/2 weeks which is kind of depressing but I know it will be a relief when we all get going with our new schedule. Sam was in bed with a high fever last night so we are just staying home, working on getting him better before we fly to Hawaii to see Paul's folks next Friday. Next week I'll be writing to you from Honolulu, and I'll be sure to do a photo essay with some color and image inspirations.

This week I am sneaking in a sale on my fabrics and quilt kits – this is a one time sale including many of my classic collections – all the kits have the instructions included so it is easy to snap up a kit and have a creative inspiration hanging on your wall in a short amount of time.
