HI EVERYONE!! WITH THE WEATHER A LITTLE CHILLY, IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD TIME TO CATCH UP WITH EVERYONE. I SPENT LAST WEEK WITH A MOST DELIGHTFUL GROUP OF WOMEN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY--THE OCCASION WAS AN ELDER HOSTEL EVENT. I WAS TEACHING AN ADVANCED BALTIMORE ALBUM CLASS WITH SIX WOMEN THAT WERE RETURNING FROM A BEGINNER'S CLASS I TAUGHT LAST YEAR. WE WERE WORKING ON AN EAGLE BLOCK PLUS CONTINUING OUR INTEREST IN PAPER CUT BLOCKS, THEY ARE DOING SOME WONDERFUL WORK AND I HOPE TO SHARE ALL OF THIS WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE. I WILL BE DOING THIS WEEK-LONG CLASS IN MARCH OF 2006. WE WILL BE CONCENTRATING ON CONTINUING THE STUDY OF BALTIMORE ALBUM BLOCKS AND FOCUSING ON BASKET BLOCKS. I WILL GIVE EVERYONE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS IN THE FUTURE.

ON WEDNESDAY, ANTOINETTE AND I LEAVE FOR KANSAS CITY. WE WILL BE ATTENDING SPRING QUILT MARKET. IT WILL BE EXCITING SO SEE WHAT NEW AND WONDERFUL STUFF WE WILL FIND AND BRING BACK FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY. DON'T FORGET MARKET REVIEW ON FRIDAY, MAY 13. A REALLY BIG EVENT AT NUTMEG LODGE.

THE NEWSLETTER WILL BE IN THE MAIL ON MONDAY, MAY 25 SO CHECK YOUR MAILBOXES FOR ALL THE GREAT CLASSES WE WILL BE OFFERING.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEE YOU AT THE SHOP---HAPPY QUILTING. BARBARA
