ahhhh, spring!

What beautiful weather we are having in northern Virginia! All the trees are in full bloom and the grass is so green it almost hurts my eyes. Ahhhhhhh. Chuck mowed the grass last night and I decided there is no better smell than the first cut of grass in April.
I'm still recovering from my fun retreat. Wow, it was fantastic! I had the most wonderful group of women...and we were busy from Friday night until Sunday afternoon. I think everyone was ready for nap when it was over. I was lucky to have some of the best designers/teachers for the weekend. Not only did Kathy Barrick-Dieter, Cathy Campbell, Lori Brechlin and Lisa Duffin teach great classes but they also provided lots of entertainment during their down times (which means they were very disruptive! LOL!). Thanks to everyone, teachers and students alike for helping to make the weekend just perfect!
I had an exciting package arrive right before I left for the retreat. I was lucky enough to buy a doll from Christine Crocker and the arrival was such a thrill for me. I have been wanting one of her exquisite dolls for the longest time! You can see her work at . My new doll Rebecca is very happy in her new home.
I also was very lucky to go with Kathy to Wisconsin (my first time in the beautiful state) to Country Sampler and teach. We had such fun. Jeanne Horton is the very best hostess. She is such a detail person and everything was perfect down to the beautiful tulips in vases on her tables in the class room. She has a little apartment above her shop where Kathy and I stayed. We were honored to share the space with Barb Adams and Alma Allen. What a thrill. They are two of the nicest and funniest girls and I could have easily spent a whole week with them. Alma even helped me get started on a quilt. We also had two more apartment mates~Adele and Vickie Meese. They were delightful as well. The whole weekend was so fun and I hope I get to go back to Jeanne's shop soon. I could easily excede my credit limit in her store! You can see pictures here:
I have one important announcement. I recently found out that there is a printing error in my chart A Merry Heart. If anyone has purchased this and would like a replacement, please email me with your address and I will get it in the mail asap. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience!
Hope everyone is enjoying their spring weather!
