> Hi all;
> A couple of notes about last week's newsletter: I gave a link for some free thread from Wonderfil and apparently, about mid-morning last Saturday, their supply ran out. Interestingly enough, the early people who did get the free thread, got it without shipping costs as a Labor Day gift! Also, I linked to a quilt by Australian artist Dianne Firth and the link I gave to her website was incorrect. Dianne Firth's website is here https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=be42f96d2f&e=e9f3e6440b . Can you tell I do my own editing?

> I feel relief after conquering a number of issues around virtual workshops. I've been skipping for joy the last few days! I still have much to conquer but now I feel like I have a teeny weenie bit of knowledge and I'm pretty sure I have the right equipment. I've got a few more things coming to finish off the acquisition stage and hopefully now I can stop spending money.
>
> I was shocked to hear from one of my friends that a guild was actually angry at her for not reducing her prices! Oh my gosh, we are all out there spending money on equipment and training and redoing our spaces to accommodate all of this.This is truth: It took me 20 years to create that one-hour lecture! I think this really is a win-win for guilds and teachers. I do still want in-person classes but now little guilds can bring in great presenters and, I can take the teachers I've always longed to take!
>
> A lot is going on this week and below you will see links to the already-in-progress SAQA Benefit Auction and Craft Napa registration opens this week. And if you take a gander at my calendar you will see it is filling up! All that is good news.
>
> I know I am staying in this weekend. We have more smoke coming in and it is awful out there. But hey, I hope to be sewing anyway! And finally California is opening back up and Hubby and I actually, gasp, dined inside a restaurant last night! I hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend!

> I've got a lot of news in this week's blog post https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=32269142f7&e=e9f3e6440b . I will be repeating some of it in articles below because not everyone reads the blog post. I am full-on virtual teaching and lecturing and actually enjoying it! New opportunities are coming rapid fire and I'm loving it. I am so ready to get back to work. Hopefully I will still have time to create!

All proceeds help support SAQA's exhibition programs, publications, and education outreach. Plus, your purchase helps increase the recognition for art quilts and the artists who make them. At just 12" square, these pieces are perfect for collecting and displaying; I have over 15 pieces in my collection! My piece is available here https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=323e29447c&e=e9f3e6440b and bidding for this section will run Sept 14 - 20. I cruised the first half of the offerings and if I had unlimited funds I would purchase this https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=04893904b4&e=e9f3e6440b , this https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=80d24e414c&e=e9f3e6440b , this https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=a39552321f&e=e9f3e6440b and this https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=aea532d490&e=e9f3e6440b one.

> Hosanna, Audra Rasnake; her photo

> I'm scrolling through endless posts on FaceBook and I stop in my tracks at this - sooooo pretty! I love the design, the quilting and that lovely edge. I wrote the maker, Audra Rasnake https://quiltskipper.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f143c3b24ad81045e6adc2193&id=03d504330f&e=e9f3e6440b and what a story behind the quilt and its maker! This is hand quilted and the quilting is gorgeous. Audra designed it herself and no, she does not use computer software.
>
> The Hosanna blocks are paper pieced. Audra was determined to use her old green fabrics so she designed the blocks with 1" pieces and there are 1400 of them! Audra began to compete in 2014 and this is her 4th show quilt. I love the juxtaposition of the crisp points of the paper-pieced Hosanna blocks with the curved medallion center and scalloped edge. It's just fresh, pretty and so well-designed.
