I’m here in the heart of the Smoky Mountains this week. I finished judging the quilt show for the North Carolina Quilt Sympsium last week. It’s a great show with some fabulous quilts! I had a day off to explore the back country before teaching began. What a beautiful state!! I’m teaching for both the Quilt Symposium and the Smokey Mountain Quilters Guild.

Donna Christensen designed and stitched this block in her quilt just by reading my book, Flying Colors! Way cool!

And look what else Donna made: this name tag with tiny little Grandmothers Flower Garden pieces. She is one talented quilter!
