On the road again!

I know it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!   Take a peek at my home away from home for the next week:

I know - I know - tough job, right?   I'm SO excited to be joining a fun group of quilters in Destin, Florida at the Emerald Coast Quilt Retreat and Show for 3 days of teaching and lectures.  I can't wait to see the quilts that are made from my Strip-Smart Quilts book:

For those of you familiar with the book - we'll be making one of my favorites "Family Vacation"

and another favorite - "Cupcicles"

Perfect quilts to get you into the summer frame of mind, don't ya think?   Speaking of which - - I might just have to sneak out of class for a few minutes to run over here:

and wiggle my toes in the sand and the water.  It's been a looooong 50 years since I've visited Destin, and I can't wait to wake up to this:

and close the evenings with this:

Sigh.  Breath taking isn't it?   I'll just have to ignore the fact that even though its the first time in 50 years that I've ventured back to this lovely place - the weather decided to take a turn towards the cold side.  Highs in the 50's - lows in the upper 20's while I'm there.  While this is warm to lot's of y'all, its dang cold for this Louisiana gal!!!  Oh well - - if Mother Nature thinks she will get the best of me - and I won't venture my toes into the water - she has another thing coming!!!!

I'll make sure I take lots of pics so that I can share with you when I get back.

Later gators!

With a warm heart (and cold toes!!!),

Kathy
