Madeline Island Magic
Over the past year, I have continually repeated the mantra that I wanted to spend at least 3 or 4 days with one instructor in a effort to immerse myself in the process and really dig deep into my quilting. I've always been really great at starting things, trying everything that I see, and never really getting very far. I had set up a trip to Quilting by the Lake in Syracuse, with the double pleasure of getting to visit my daughter. But karma intervened. Oh boy, did she ever. Just days before I was to send in my final payment, I got a call from a friend, who asked me to join her an one other quilter for a week with Gwen Marston at Madeline Island School of the Arts. It took me about 5 seconds to change my mind. A bit longer to work out the little details, and off we went on an adventure that was not to be missed.

I'm posting these few snippets now, and over the next day or so I'll try to get the rest of the photos up, once I get them off my camera. In a reader's digest summary, it was magic. Gwen won't be teaching much longer, and I am so very grateful that I was able to soak in a weeks worth of inspiration, passion, and wit that she has to offer.
