SEPTEMBER IN LAGUNA WOODS-- AND SPRING AT THE BEACH!

8/9/2012

100 + degree weather is a great motivator to go to the coast and check out a very promising site for our Spring 2013 destination retreat. Cool 80's and sunshine on the waves, plus a charming little beach town I think you will love, and really authentic Mexican food for one of our dinners. No more hints than that until I get it all figured out. I might be looking at May rather than June???

The September Retreat at the Ayres Hotel in Laguna Woods is only a few weeks away and I am already dreaming of those fabulous beds. Cindy and Dawn will be back with their magic fingers to massage out any knots you may have. Stop counting those UFO's and pack up a pile of them to finish--oh-- is that word even in your quilter's vocabulary? Give yourself permission to just play at what you love!

BEACH BREEZES IN JUNE 2013?

August finally blew her fiery breath into Southern California--so what do you do? Escape to the beach, of course, which is just what I did yesterday with quilt artist friends Terry Waldron, Cindy Cooksley, and Vickie Valdez-Green. The Laguna Beach Art Festival is a great place to inspire your creativity and the urge to try new things--besides, it's many degrees cooler than in North Orange County, where I live! The beach breezes remind me to tell you that I am working on a great new retreat for June 2013 AT THE BEACH! No details yet until I get it all nailed down, but I can hint--Landscape and thread work for ALL SKILL LEVELS! Stretch yourself and try new things! Come take a class, or do your own thing--your choice. Watch for more details soon!

If you need some cool, uninterrupted quilting time right now, join us for the Three-day Sew-in on August 24, 25, and 26th at the Temple Beth Tikvah in Fullerton. It is a large, fully air-conditioned site near Cal-State Fullerton. It is our new venue and we are looking forward to a fun weekend of quilting, eating, quilting, eating--you get the idea! Join us!

Ricki Bremer's love affair with teaching starting while teaching high school and junior high. Next came 29 years as a craft and quilt shop owner, and the publication of her first book, Simple and Sensational Purses from Placemats, now in its third printing. The second book, Dual Pursenalities followed. Later additions were the Private Eyes Nursing Apron, and her latest--a microwave hot bag pattern, The AAAhhsum Bag--which has been used exclusively at the massage booth at the Road to California Show. Ricki has continued to use her easy methods to bring the joy of sewing and quilting to beginners and others. She also loves to simplify things for those ready for more challenging techniques. The Fiber Arts Retreats, which she started in 2007 formerly through the Tall Mouse, are growing and expanding to new venues, and a new name--Fiber Qwest Retreats. Ricki aims to broaden the interest and opportunities to learn and play in all areas of fiber and the creative arts.
