What's New... Over the last few years, I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching from coast to coast, meeting wonderful stitchers wherever I went. But, with the rising price of gas, and the increasing cost of flying, it is time to revise my approach to traveling. In the future, I will be concentrating my classes on opportunities located in the central US. After 2009, I will be limiting my travel to sites within a day's driving distance (two at the most) to my home in Lincoln, Nebraska. I will continue to design and make projects available through my website, so please check my catalog for new offerings when you visit. Nordic Needle has added several of my new booklets to their catalog. So, now in addition to the booklets shown in their annual catalog, several new titles are available. The new designs are in Naversom, Nyzynka, Yugoslavian Weaving, Schwalm and Kogin. Please check my catalog for closeups and additional details on the designs available through Nordic Needle (NN items 2351 to 2367.) My 2008 – 2009 teaching sites are listed below. Please come to see me at any of the following events: EGA National Seminar 2008 Golden Gala August 31 – September 5, 2008: Louisville, KY Thank you for the overwhelming response to my classes at EGA National.

Rockome Gardens - National Counted Cross Stitch Show The dates for next year have just been announced. They are: June 4 – 7, 2009: Arcola, IL Many of you have asked: "What are YOU doing at a Cross-Stitch show?" I feel the relaxed atmosphere, economical site and longer classes are a good fit for my work, so if everything works out, I will be returning to Rockome next year. Right now, I am in the process of developing new class projects. If there is a technique you would like to learn from me, please let me know.
