A New Year

It’s 2010 and this is the first blog of the New Year, YIKES. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is having a great new year. Thank you to everyone who made 2009 a successful year for Lunch Box Quilts!

January was my annual trip to the Road to California Quilt show and Convention. I was very excited to have Autumn Wind juried into the show. The trip has now become half business and half vacation. I was one of the guest artists in the Fabric Patch booth for two days and took classes for two days.

The classes were all great. The most interesting class was an all day photography class. I learned so many new skills on photographing quilts. I can’t wait to try them out. I also attended a mystery class and saw my Road to California buddy’s Pat and Tracy. Every year we are in at least one class together just by chance. See you next year girls.

February was a very cold trip to Chicago. A snow storm had canceled many flights there the day before I left. I didn’t have boots! I quickly ran to the mall to buy some boots. Scottsdale does not have a big winter boot selection. After several hours and stores I finally found boots. I was so excited to wear them when I arrived in Chicago. I had to go outside and walk around in the fresh snow to break them in! No time to make a snowman, the trip was all business. Good things are coming!

It’s time to get the creativity going and get a new quilt or two ready for Spring Market in May. I have a few ideas and I will post a picture as soon as there is something to share.
