Sunday May 5th, 1pm Meet up at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival at the Sheepdog Trials--look for the Mom with her Mom with two boys--probably with spindles--and a very bemused husband.
Friday May 10th, 7pm I'm speaking at Common Cod and teaching my sock heel workshop the next day. One of the heels is the same I used on my Holly Golightly pedicure socks and Count Fosco's Pret-pret-pretties in W(e)WMDfK?
I was interviewed on Episode 183 of the High Fiber Diet podcast.

Thank you:
A shocking number of you committed time, effort, and gorgeous (sometimes handspun) yarn to make this unbelievable quilt for me. I can't actually get a camera far enough away from it to take a picture, so Penny and I pieced this montage together for all to see. I don't have names attached to some of the blocks, so please claim your blocks. I want to thank you!
And super huge thanks to Tara Wurster who spearheaded and arranged this whole thing. It is a thing of beauty and I am so thankful I have all of YOU in my life.
(You can see more photos of the blanket on the facebook album page.)
