I had a wonderful time with the Quilters of South Carolina at their Spring Meeting. We had a blast!

I’m still on the road and am traveling to North Augusta, SC/GA, to visit the Pieceful Quilters Guild.

I’m looking forward to our workshop, Patchwork Illusions!

I’ve never visited Charleston, South Carolina, so this will be a treat!

While at the Spring Meeting, I’ll be teaching my Patchwork Illusions class

and my Celtic Illusions class.

This class is from my book, Celtic Pieced Illusions.

Happy National Quilting Day!!

Take some time for yourself and quilt away! I know I plan to spend the day happily working in my quilt studio.

Some other ways to celebrate:

**Get together with your favorite quilting buddies for some stitching, perhaps work on quilts for a local charity.

**Visit your local quilt shop. See what is new, take a look at the new fabrics, books and patterns. Treat yourself to a special purchase!

**Sign up for a quilting class. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, take a class and learn a new technique.

Enjoy the day!

 

 

This morning, my husband Rick forwarded this video clip to me. I seldom share clips or forwards on my blog, but I had to share this one.

Nick Vujicic gives an inspirational talk to high school students. Inspiring, yes. . . even more inspiring, Nick was born without  limbs.

His message, Don’t give up. . . finish strong.  It does not matter how many times you fail, it only matters that you keep trying and don’t give up.

It is a message for all of us, no matter what our situations or circumstances.  Keep trying and finish strong!

Today is our 31st anniversary.  Yes, we were married on March 18, 1978.  This current photo was taken of Rick and I,  taken at our daughter’s wedding.
