entirely too quickly! It seems like it was just last week when I last posted. But instead I see it was a lot longer ago!

Since I posted last, I finished the sample for next September’s Baltimore on the Prairie.  You can see all the samples for the September conference at www.baltimoreontheprairie.tresajones.com.

I finished a new quilt I’m calling “Papercuts and Toile.” I’ve supmitted the quilt to AQS. If I’m lucky they will jury it into the show in Paducah this April. And since the quilt is being offered as a block-of-the-month this year at Prairie Point Quilts in Shawnee, KS, I began making the blocks all over again in the fabrics that will be available in the kits available at the shop. (www.prairiepoint.com)

I traveled to South Carolina for the Christmas holiday by way of Kentucky to see my mom. In South Carolina I had a chance to spend the holiday with our older son’s family, including the twin 3-yr old grandkids. It was a lovely time! I was able to photograph the “Papercuts and Toile” and last year’s block-of-the-month design,” Birds ‘n Urns,” so I could submit them to AQS for the show in Paducah. So cross your fingers for me! We had lovely weather and missed the Christmas Eve blizzard here at home.

Just into the new year I traveled to California for a week with our younger son. The morning I left it was -7 degrees outside! By the time I got to the Burbank airport, I was overheated in my sweater and slacks! I went to a bridal shower for our daughter-in-law-to-be in Santa Barbara. Oh, it was lovely! We were at a restaurant right on the beach – out on the deck! It was, indeed, a lovely day! The rest of the week was spent with Ian and included at day the Road to California quilt show. My “Pots de Fleurs” quilt was juried in and I just had to visit! And the weather all week was my perfect weather – low humidity, 68-75 degrees and sunny skies.

So its been nice to be home, even if it’s cold. Of course, I certainly appreciate missing all the rain that arrived right after I left California!

And what’s next on my agenda? I have some great opportunities to teach this year. I hope you take a look at the list on my website, www.kathydelaney.com. If I’m scheduled to be in your area and your guild would like me to come, I’d love to do it! I’m very excited to be on the list of teachers for the AQS show in Knoxville in July! Are you planning on going?

Until next time…

Kathy
