Wow!  The CREATE Student Showcase was absolutely fantastic!  Take a wander through all the amazing stuff that the students created over the week:

2boys (The canvas is by a student who was in my Painted Face Canvas class.  She didn't finish before the class was over, so this was my first chance to see the finished painting of her two sons!)

After seeing all the student work, I now have a list of classes a mile long that I can't wait to take next time!  How about you?  See anything you like?

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. My Mom and I headed from Chicago to Cleveland today.

Cleveland
And while we sat in the airport for five hours we discussed the fact that it would have been a lot more fun to drive from Chicago to Cleveland than fly. Can anyone say roadtrip?

Nevertheless, we managed to still have some fun!

We're here in Cleveland to tape two episodes of Quilting Arts TV. And I will be sure to blog all about it!

Talk to you soon!
