Gail's Excellent Adventures: Quilting by the Lake - A Very Special Conference!
http://gailgarber.blogspot.com/2011/08/quilting-by-lake-very-special.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Quilting by the Lake - A Very Special Conference! Jeannette Rossi and her star and Pointy Dude border. The first class was a two-day Sensational Stars and Circular Borders class, followed by the three-day Flying Colors class. Almost everyone signed up for both classes so it was more like one five-day class, my favorite thing to teach. They got a lot done too. Here Irene Dietlin shows off her star with the Flying Diamonds border. Labels: Quilt Venues and Classes. Quilts by Others;.

Gail's Excellent Adventures: QBL - Accommodations
http://gailgarber.blogspot.com/2011/08/qbl-accommodations.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Is held at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, where the dorms are brand new and the rooms are arranged in suites. No traipsing down the hall to the communal bathroom. My Suite-mate was one of my favorite teachers, Libby Lehman. We had not been at a venue together for a long time - so many words, so little time. Libby has special travel accessories, like this Baby Bird blow dryer, so small it would fit into a nest. Labels: Quilt Venues and Classes. My new tool bag and me.

Gail's Excellent Adventures: May 2011
http://gailgarber.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 28, 2011. The Bathrooms, er, Toilets. Did I mention that sheep are big business in New Zealand, with 4 million people and 40 million sheep? And, that Kiwis have a good sense of humor! The Glaciers - Fox and Franz Josef. Geology on a massive scale! Imagine the power that carved these steep glacial valleys. And, on a more detailed level, the glacial ice carved the rounded, intricately patterns rocks that litter the valley floors. Justine and Karen enjoyed the walk. Everyone, especially Jane, ...

Gail's Excellent Adventures: Quilting by the Lake - The Auction
http://gailgarber.blogspot.com/2011/08/quilting-by-lake-auction.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Quilting by the Lake - The Auction. My first year teaching at Quilting by the Lake. In Syracuse, NY. Hosted the the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center. They ask faculty members to decorate an apron to be auctioned off on the final night to raise funds for scholarships. This is what my apron looked like when it arrived. Pretty ordinary! I thought black and white graphic prints might just do the trick. And, I found a couple of rainbow goose strips to go along with the B/W fabrics.

Gail's Excellent Adventures: October 2011
http://gailgarber.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 28, 2011. I've been involved with the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative since it was founded by Ami Simms whose Mom was afflicted by this terrible disease. Their main fundraiser is the sale of Priority Alzheimer's Little Quilts. Quilts that fit into a priority mailing envelope. Their goal was to bring 1500 little quilts to International Quilt Festival in Houston, and THEY DID IT! Here's a link to another of the projects undertaken by AAQI, "Alzheimer's: From Heartbreak to Hope". And the hi...

Gail's Excellent Adventures: March 2011
http://gailgarber.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. Does it sometimes seem like everyone you know is having a baby or grandbaby at the same time? That's happened to me lately! And of course I don't have any extra baby quilts on hand for gifts. So I ordered some tiny white baby socks and onesies from Dharma Trading Company. And dyed them to match. I think they are very cute and they will look even cuter when they are worn by a baby. Look for my newsletter coming soon for instructions on how to make one for yourself. Quilts by Others;.

Saturday, October 30, 2010. To Market, To Market to buy a . . . lot of great stuff. One of the great things about going to Quilt Market and Festival is seeing all my quilting buddies. I found Paula Nadelstern showing off some of her newest work. And, I met Ginny Eckley, who is a master stencil maker and makes the exact right sort of stencils for the resist-type dyeing that I prefer. Check out her website! Labels: Quilt Venues and Classes.
