{We are still without power here in our part of New York. But that is the extent of our inconvenience and it hardly merits any whining. The devastation is stunning and heartbreaking now that we've had a chance to see images and get news of the wider picture. I'll be back to blogging as soon as I have power at home. Today I'm borrowing from my daughter because I want to let you know that ...}
Signups began yesterday at French General for the Art of Craft classes in January. I am teaching this beautiful stitchbook project on Friday Jan 11 in the afternoon. (Click the class description image on the site to see the full page contents of the project!) The book is constructed from an old cutter quilt and various pages from other textiles. It was such fun to make, layering the textiles, stitches and bits. Everything is provided by French General. Last year's class sold out quickly so I don't want anyone to miss out. Rebecca Sower is teaching that Friday evening and there is an option for a day pass which gets both classes at a discount. Pam Garrison teaches Saturday and all the other classes are listed on the site. A weekend pass is a great option to consider as they are all fabulous. Make a weekend of it! (Kaari has a hotel and travel guide on the site page too.)
Hope to see you there!
And back here ... just as soon as possible!
Lori and Julie from Texas are coming to French General for the whole Art of Craft weekend. We just couldn't resist and can hardly wait!

I'm so happy & relieved to know you are alright. The devastation is just heartbreaking. Someday, I hope to have enough time to get to one of those amazing get togethers with so many wonderfully talented people. Until then, I love reading about them. Hugs.

It is so true how those close to the destruction can't see the enormity of it because of power outages...hard to watch TV without electricity. On the west coast, we've been bombarded with the images, and they are haunting to say the least.
We all know that eventually things will be normal, but that doesn't make the hear and now any easier for those directly impacted. Send money to the Red Cross everyone.

Glad you are okay. No power is hard....but just an inconvenience. So much destruction.... so heartbreaking. Here on the Gulf coast we have seen it so often.... hard to see others suffering. I hope your mom's place is okay. Glad you got home from quilt market before it hit.... and soooo glad they cancelled that marathon. Would not have been a good thing. IMHO
