October 11, 2010

I hope you all enjoyed my Matzo Ball Soup recipe from last week.  If you don’t have it, look under “Recipes” on our web site. For all of you who asked, I am feeling much better although the “cold” continues on!
 
Quilt Camp this past weekend at The Red Jacket Beach Resort was fantastic.  The storm that was predicted never came near Cape Cod.  The sun shone all weekend off the ocean and river, creating sparkling water and spectacular sunsets.  It is truly a treat to sew in that atmosphere.  Even Mary and I got to sew.  Food, as always, was fresh and prepared by the chef to please everyone.  We probably all ate a bit too much, but, after all, we were on vacation.
 
I made an adorable baby quilt in pink and green flannel for my dentist’s first grandchild.  It is being machine quilted by my friend, Celine Spader, who took it home from Camp to perform her long arm magic on this quilt.  When she brings it back to the store, I am told on Thursday; I will photograph it and include the picture next Monday.  You will all want to order a quilt kit.
 
It has come to my attention that many of you don’t really know what Harriet Hargrave teaches when she comes to Heartbeat.  First of all, Harriet, who is from Colorado, does not teach often in the East.  She comes to me because she is my friend and we support each other as much as possible.  Harriet is the ultimate “teacher”.  She has the most thorough knowledge of thread, fabric, batting, quilting, appliqué, and piecing techniques of anyone I know in our industry.  That is a heavy statement but true.  She does not teach long arm quilting.  She uses her sewing machine just like you and I, but with more finesse.  Her blind stitch appliqué looks like it was hand sewn.  Did I say enough?  Harriet has only a few openings in her November classes here.  Don’t wait a moment longer, sign up NOW. Click here.
 
Lots to do, not enough time, so make the most of your spare time and sew, sew, sew.  It will lower your blood pressure.  Come visit us soon.
