What I learned at Houston..
I too went to Houston again this year arrived Wednesday afternoon and came
home Sunday morning. DH & I worked paid jobs, I volunteered as Quilt Angel and I took two classes. Meetups didn't happen never could locate the TDB on my lunch breaks. My classes were both Needleturn Appliqué,and I learned three methods. Now I am hooked, this is so relaxing and such a easy project to carry along. My first class was with Faye Anderson, she has a book "Appliqué Designs,My Mother Taught Me To Sew".The class project was not the most exciting but the instruction and tips were very good. My next class was suppose to be taught by Darlene Christopherson her mother passed away on Tuesday so we were taught by her friend and fellow Appliqué Sara Madson. This class was like two for the price of one. Sara not only taught Denise's methods but her own too. The class project was great and I actually finished a whole block and started a second one. Baltimore Albums- no not in the near future but needleturn WHs, you bet I'll be making a few. Diana in Dallas |

I really love appliqué, but all the techniques I've tried seem to be beyond me. Glad you had fun in Houston. Cindy |

rofl, my designs arent all that terrific.
you'll never guess who i saw on simply quilts yesterday. after reading all you told us here about that episode i had my eyes glued to see how you and alex interacted. alex didnt leave you much to say or do but i guess thats what that part of the show is all about. you really looked interested in her replys considering it wasnt even your question, lol. you looked great on tv too, tho better in person of course. i'm still 'waiting' to hear about all those marvelous new designs of yours. hugz, jeanne -- san-fran at ihug dot co dot nz nzlstar on yahoo msg'r http://community.webshots.com/user/nzlstar In article , "nzlstar*" wrote: btw, marcella. do you remember me asking you about why the back of my applique stitches were angled when yours were straight. well mine are much better now and getting smaller as well. wooooohooooooo. just took you to give me the advice and explain it to me. your a peach!!! btw, folks, marcella does boooooooootiful applique. hugz, jeanne "Marcella Peek" wrote...

Thanks. My cousins response was that I looked like my arms were
superglued to my side. That cracked me up because she was right! They told me to stand just like that and not move, so I did. I look like a geek but my hair was good ;-) And, getting back to the Houston topic, my girlfriend and I are working to make that next years quilting event. You all make it sound so fun. marcella In article , "nzlstar*" wrote: rofl, my designs arent all that terrific. you'll never guess who i saw on simply quilts yesterday. after reading all you told us here about that episode i had my eyes glued to see how you and alex interacted. alex didnt leave you much to say or do but i guess thats what that part of the show is all about. you really looked interested in her replys considering it wasnt even your question, lol. you looked great on tv too, tho better in person of course. i'm still 'waiting' to hear about all those marvelous new designs of yours. hugz, jeanne |

If I catch some SQ reruns, I may see your episode. What was the
topic? Will they announce your name? I'll look forward to meeting you in Houston next year, Marcella. It is fun, inspiring, fun, educational, and, er, fun! PAT in VA/USA Marcella Peek wrote: Thanks.

It is fun, inspiring, fun, educational, and, er, fun! PAT in VA/USA The show was called The Baby Show and it featured a lady teaching how to make simple baby quilts from minkee and flannel. I was just the "Ask Alex" girl at the very end. I filled in for someone else, so it wasn't even my question. That said, I've now used up 4 of my 15 minutes of fame. ;-) She does say my name and they even put it up on screen. So, since my quilting buddy and I have never been to Houston; a few questions for you pros. How early do we need to book a hotel room? For the first time....classes? or just be overwhelmed on the show floor? marcella |
