I am excited to be starting on this adventure of blogging. Believe me never in my lifetime did I expect that I would be called a blogger much less writing a blog. It's kind of a funny word and it makes me think of the word clogging or dancing and big funny shoes. So here we go. Things at Santa Barbara Quilting Retreats are kind of quiet right now. Ruth Mc Dowell was with us in November and it was such a wonderful treat to have her here in Santa Barbara and to bring her fabulous teaching skills to the beautiful Casa De Maria Retreat Center. She is such a nice lady and it was a pleasure to work with her. The women in this class produced some beautiful drawings and managed to put some cloth to their drawings and their end result will be fantastic.
Carol Taylor www.caroltaylorquilts.com joining us in November of this year and teaching a class that will be taught for the first time on the West Coast. We will be presenting this class at the beautiful Crowne Plaza Hotel on the beach in Ventura and will offer wonderful food, first class accommodations and great instruction.
I will be blogging with you soon! Check out the website www.sbquilting.com Love Cathe

Please think about sending in a block to the Alzheimer's Quilt Iniative they are raising awareness about the epidemic. Visit www.alzquilts.org to get more information about the 52 Quilts that are in the traveling exhibit. They raise money with a Quilted Postcard Auction and a Small Quilt Auction go to the website to participate.
