I’m so happy that Ruthie has planned a quilting retreat for October, 2010. I’ve known Ruthie online for a bunch of years . . maybe 8 or 9 years. Maybe more . . I can’t remember. I met her at a retreat in either 2003 or 2004 (can’t remember that either . . starting to notice a pattern here about my non-existent memory?). She met us and stayed with us at Paducah this year too. I’m vouching for her being a real sweetheart and being quite capable of planning a fantastic retreat.
She has the forms up online now for your deposit so please go here and see if this is something you migh want to do. It’s going to be FUN!!! It isn’t outrageously expensive and you have a full year to save up for travel expense and spending money.
My deposit is going in the mail tomorrow!!

Judy,
Yesterday, I received the fabric I ordered from Connecting Threads after you wrote about it. I think it is lovely fabric! Thanks so much for spreading the word! I got an email from them today, with a new line that I think I am going to “need” to order, as well!

There’s a cute article about raising chickens at home in this week’s New Yorker (September 28 issue). I thought you might enjoy the video.
