LOS OSOS CA I taught the Circle of Life workshop in California this week. The setting was Sea Pines Resort in Los Osos. From my hotel room I could see Morro Rock, a volcano that hasn’t erupted for 20 million years. Thank heavens!

Instead of golfing, a cadre of enthusiastic quilters played with making circular motifs and inserting them into background grids. For the makers, the motifs signified something meaningful in their lives.

I enjoyed your class so much. I learned a lot about the importance of 1/4" seams, pressing seams, and having fun with creating motifs. I was glad to meet the other quilters and be able to share ideas with them. Sea Pines was a good place to have the class.

You are a terrific teacher. I hope to sign up for more of your classes in the future. Thank you for the terrific week. ~ Karen L, Walnut Creek CA
