Just a quick note….

Had a great time at the Road to California quilt show last weekend.  Spent some quality time with Mark Lipinski at his lecture. He is a hoot and a holler and a genuinely nice guy who cares about promoting and preserving the art of quilting.

 
He is quite a storyteller…just thought I would share a photo of him after the lecture…in his pile of quilts—each which has a story in itself.  He has some new adventures ahead…his magazine, Quilter’s Home, is now available by subscription and is really making a “Mark” in the quilting magazine selection.  He is developing another fabric line (with Northcott this time around) and a “Mark Lipinski Home”  collection. You can read more about his trip from his Pickle Road Home to the Ontario Convention Center, his deal and press release with Northcott and more musings at Mark's blog.

More later…

P.S. That is me wearing a jacket made from an Indygo Junction Pattern. Amy Barickman was kind enough to let me borrow her sample of the "Kimono Crossover".  I have the pattern for sale--if you are interested..email me.  It is sooooo comfy!
