Hello Everyone! I am back from the quilt retreat. Whew! What fun we had at beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada. There was 26 of us from all over the United States. The quilter who traveled the fartherest was from Wisconsin. Lots of quilting and games was had every day along with lots of food and wine.

Quilt Diary: Online Quilt Festivals?
I just attended my first Online Quilt Festival with Mancuso. They ran a Facebook Live all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Everything was based in the Eastern Time Zone which was a problem for me but I know they were doing the best they could. I had planned on spending time on Friday checking everything out before my class on Saturday. The day ended up getting away from me and I didn’t actually do any of the normal things. Hopefully someone out there can give more details on how it works.
My class today was good. I actually stayed up better. How much of that was because I was in my own sewing studio and didn’t have to borrow something I forgot and how much of that I wasn’t walking around the classroom looking at everyone’s stuff, I can’t say for sure. Zoom sure did allow everyone to see what the teacher is doing without peeking over a shoulder here or a head there. Overall, I thought it went very well. I took the Hunter’s Star class with Quilt Maven Dave Sirota. I took a class using his technique a few years ago but I felt more stuck this time. I just wish I didn’t have to get up at 5:30am my time to do. Still, well worth it.
