   Thought you might like to see a photo of me with the fabulous Mary Lou Weidman. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Bernina University in San Diego, California this past July. She is amazingly talented which is evident in her fabric collection and in her embroidery designs. To view her fabric collections go to www.benartex.com. We have her "Count your Chickens" kit in the shop. To view it, go to our Twilight Tea page.

Do you and your group have a project in mind and need a Teacher and place to meet? Call the shop and we will be happy to accommodate. We aim to please!

I had the pleasure of meeting TV Personality /Author/Quilter "Extraordinaire" Alex Anderson while I was at Bernina University in Chicago April 2005. Her seminar on "Education-Our Key to Success" was wonderful.
