Here at Gail Garber Designs, I am very excited to announce my new website. It was designed by Michele Foster of the Quilting Gallery, and I think it just looks fabulous! After several months of redesign and updates, I am thrilled with the new feel of this site. There are many new photos of my quilts as well as those of student quilts. When you open the gallery, just click on a thumbnail to open a full-size image.

You’ll want to visit the store section where you’ll find information on my favorite products. The teaching section includes all of the information necessary if you are interested in a class or lecture for your group. There is also a handy calendar section that details my upcoming appearances. I hope you find the website easy to navigate and helpful.

Soon, I’ll begin sending out a quarterly newsletter with tips, projects, student photos and more. If you wish to subscribe, simply click on the link at the top of the homepage that says subscribe.

In April 2011, I will be off to New Zealand for a quilting and textile tour of that country with several of my favorite quilting friends. The tour will feature participation in the biannual National Symposium – Remarkables 2011, this time held in Queenstown on South Island. We’ll visit artists in their studios, learn about Maori culture and fiber art, visit quilt shops, view native wildlife, and much more. For complete information, see the tours section tab on the homepage. While you’re there also look for the information on the 2012 Paper Piecing Quilt Cruise with myself, Carol Doak and Eileen Sullivan!

If you haven’t had a chance to become a friend on Facebook, please do. I love keeping up with my friends and students!

Another exciting happening for 2011 is the addition of Michele Hymel to my office. She and longtime assistant Donna Barnitz crack the whip and keep me organized and in control. Life is never dull here. Look for their profiles in our first newsletter. The three of us are looking forward to brainstorming new ideas, sewing up beautiful quilt designs and sharing new ideas with all of you.

So, here’s to a fabulous 2011!

Cheers,
Gail
