HERE I AM IN CHILLY ATLANTA


I thought they called this place HOTLANTA.

Just arrived in Georgia this morning -whew it's cold & windy. Of course I left all my warm clothes in NH.  Murphy's Law for traveling -no matter what you pack, the stuff you wish you packed is not in your suitcase.

 Already hit a great quilt shop today
 Intown Quilters in Decatur - www.intownquilters.com
Lots of eye candy. Beautiful fun,fresh fabrics & patterns, especially if you like the Modern Quilting trend, which I love.
( Noticed that they also have Phyliss Anderson's templates there!)


 Tomorrow night I'm looking forward to presenting a lecture/demo for the
Spirited Quilters Guild in Duluth,GA

Here is a very nice promo for my program:
 Nancy Graham is a New Hampshire fiber artisan.  She has been quilting for over twenty years.  She is from a very crafty family – "they were always doing some kind of project".  She has done almost every form of crafting from sewing clothes, leather work, and tie dyeing to quilting.  There is nothing that she cannot make, but fiber arts have become her main focus.  She dyes and stamps fabric and machine quilts her projects.  One of her batik works has been displayed at the
New England Quilt Museum in Lowell , MA . 
Her lecture will provide the guild with several of her printing and stamping techniques and secrets.  Her style involves using found objects and making stamps from recycled materials.  This may provide guild members some ideas for ‘green’ projects.
