It's time for a summer move!

We are moving back into the large classroom! I am soooo excited to have room to move about! Husband is creating a false ceiling to capture the cool and brace against the heat of the summer sun. Of course then next winter we will harness the warmth! We are in a very old building that was a large commercial laundry in the thirties. No ceiling just volumous open room. This offered no protection from the 85* summers nor the teens in the winter. Ahhh wonderful gains in my classrooom life!

We are having a wonderful teacher visit us next month! Linda Ballard has been teaching quilting, hosting cruises for many years. She has exciting fun and chocolate filled classes and we are very proud to be hosting this event.


While at the store working my booty off today, I received a phone call informing me that I won a raffle quilt! Yahoooo! This was from one of the local churches and it will be a wonderful surprise when it is delivered tomorrow! I have no clue what it looks like!

I am going to take my wonderful "swap" aprons to the store and hang them in the window as if on a clothes line! Won't that be cute!

Here is a photo of the raffle quilt, this is actually the layout, my students and I made for the "Women's Crisis Center." It is paper pieced and made from Batiks! The woman that won it is a volunteer for the center that lost a leg in a auto crash rescuing a rape victim...she deserved this blessing of the quilt!
