Hello Everyone,
We had a lovely time in Portland, Oregon. The show was absolutely fabulous! It is always so exciting to see our friends who attend market regularly and to make new friends. This month, Cathy will be visiting the Busy Bears Quilt Guild in Big Bear, California. She will also be visiting Valley Quilting Guild in Hemet, California.
The International Quilt Festival is coming to Long Beach, California. We will be in booth 1516. The show dates are July 25th-27th, 2008. It would be so nice to see everyone. Please come by the booth and say hello. Cathy has finished designing a sashing and border pattern for the season quilts. All four of the season quilts can now be joined together for a larger quilt with appliquéd borders. The pattern will be available for the first time.

| Meet Delphine! |
|
 |
Delphine is a 13-year-old desert tortoise. We acquired her when she was about the size of a quarter. She was just a new hatchling. She roams the yard.... taking little snack bites of all of Cathy's beloved blooms.
Romaine lettuce is Delphines favorite food.
She consumes Approx. 2 full heads per
day. She likes the dark outer leaves the best.
