Hi Friends,

I hope all of you are having a good April! Our weather here in beautiful Santa Barbara has been cool and then hot and then cool again, so it does not seem to know what to do! We all know that June Gloom is on the way and the fog will roll in and cool everything off for a couple of months.


Along with my friend Nancy I visited the 7 Sisters Quilt show in San Luis Obispo this last weekend and it was such a wonderful show, lots of beautiful quilts to see and many wonderful vendors. Saw some of my favorites like Cotton & Chocolate from Thousand Oaks, Beyond the Reef, Cotton Ball from Morro Bay, Creation Stations from Buelleton and I bought a wonderful cutting board for the top of my ironing board from Batesco www.batescoquilting.com and it is so fabulous. I live in a very small cottage so my biggest problem since I downsized is having a space to cut and this is the solution to my problems. So thank you J.B.


Watch the site for new ideas on our store and also for retreat ideas for 2010.


Don't forget to check out the www.alzquilts.org/ the Altzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative for their Quilt Auction of beautiful hand made art quilts and help a friend or a family in need who is suffering because they or a family member has Altzheimer's.


Thank You and Lots of Love Cathe
