Just a quick note to let everyone know that a new page has been added to the top of the blog – titled “Where’s Sheila“. It will let you know what events Sheila will be teaching or speaking at, and will include links (when possible) to registration information.

I’ve been hard at work getting the quilts finished and doing all the administrative work in putting together a quilt retreat – which is why you haven’t heard much from me lately.
However, I just wanted you to know that I haven’t completely forgotten about you!
Since my work lately has been in preparation for the Iowa / Nebraska Quilt Retreats (see this page if you want more information), and assisting with the Minnesota Quilt Retreats (info found here), what I have to show you is one of the finished quilt tops for the IA/NE retreat.
I know I’ve talked about the kaleidoscope quilt before – and the ruler, but working on these quilts has simply amazed me. They make up SO quickly using the ruler (see more about the kaleidoscope ruler here), this is fast on the way to becoming an addiction! I suppose a warning lable should be added to the packaging of the ruler – repeated use can be habit forming! 
Here are some of my favorite blocks from this quilt.
Even if you can’t come to one of the retreats (and believe me – you’d have a great time if you did), you really should check out this book, which was made as a companion to the ruler. You’ll be amazed at what you can do.

What’s more fun for a quilter than letting her loose in a fabric store for hours? Going to an event where you have NO interruptions for fixing dinner, NO interruptions to do the laundry, and NO reason not to QUILT!
I just wanted to tell you about 5 upcoming quilt retreats that I am involved with, three I will be hosting, and two I have assisted with the planning. And the best part – YOU are invited!
In September there will be two retreats in the Annadale, Minnesota area – check out this link if you think you might be able to attend. MN Quilt Retreat retreat over
In October there will be a retreat in the Indianola, Iowa area – check out this link if you think you might be able to attend. IA Quilt Retreat
And in September and November there will be two retreats in the Ashland, Nebraska area – check out this link (same as the Iowa one above) if you think you will be able to attend. NE Quilt Retreat
This year the retreats will be featuring a Kalidoscope quilt – and here is a picture of one of the color versions being offered at the Minnesota retreat. (The Iowa and Nebraska retreats will have slightly different color options).

I will be posting updates on the retreats as they become available – and registration forms are available for download now for all retreats. So if you are interested, check back often! I’d love to hear from you or see you at one of the retreats!
