Catching up!

As you can see, I still have conflicts with modern technoloqy, managed to post the same blog twice, now that takes talent.

Simon's teaching tour is nearly over, he will be home next week, yahoo, just in time for our first Minitstry of Sewing free webinar, if you haven't registered for it or seen our video go to www.jennyhaskins.com home page and view the FREE video. You can also register for the webinar, places are limited, so make sure you do so early.

Sheila Clarke, from Aussie, sent me pictures of her A Place in the Sun quilt; she said her largest hoop was 180mm x 300mm and had to reduce the designs by 6%, but they worked out perfectly - her quilt took three weeks to make! Way to go, this is three weeks to applique, quilt and piece a quilt - she did an amazing job! Way to go Sheila your quilt is beautiful and a real credit to you.

We just love seeing finished projects, so please keep these great photos coming and I will publish them on my website, blog and facebook.

I am busy working on - would you believe Christmas in July projects for our Ministry of Sewing wait till you see them, they are magic.

I am now off to Yoga.

Well I finally have my IPad working again,Yahoo thank your Apple Genius Bar. Well Simon has been away in the US for over six weeks and has traversed the US around three times so far. Puyallup was amazing and the 'girls' and Simon had a ball. The classes went well and A Place in the Sun was a great hit. Well done Team JH you are amazing, hope Paul spoilt you all. Paula also told me the VDTA was fabulous, so all in all it has been a great time for all. Simon continues to be a hit in every store he visits, and of course everyone loves him, his presentations and brilliant samples. He is tired, long hours, time zones and away from home really takes it's toll and I thank you all for looking after him, particularly Patti and Margaret , you are great friends not only to Simon, but me too. Thank you. Robbie and I have been having fun being creative, working on my Ministry of Sewing, getting ready for the next Acadmey and working on our Creative Machine Embroidery magazine column. Oh yes forgot to tell everyone I am now writing a column for CME and we hope you will buy the magazine and enjoy our column called 'Dear Jenny'. First one out April/May issue. A Place in the Sun is walking out the door, and everyone loves it, with Nancy finishing her first quilt and now on her second. Christine from Adelaide is just about finished and said everything just works so well with the quilt sections fitting together perfectly - no measuring and just so easy with perfect quilting. Please send me your pictures of your Place in the Sun quilt.
