It is a beautiful Monday morning in La Veta, Colorado. The sun is rising over the lake near my house and I actually slept until 6:06am! Normally by this time I would have been at the studio for at least 30 minutes, downloading and editing footage for you and then prepearing for the taping. Can you tell, I'm taking a break?

The crew left last night and only a few 'stragglers' are here in town this morning. The shows are rich and full of everything you've asked for and still follow our vision for creating a lifestyle program for quilters. The first of the next set posts on July 23 - not too far away!

As you could tell in our last video, we DO read your comments. As a matter of fact - we are as additcted to hearing from you as many of you are to hear from us. Some of you are lurkers, and that's okay, but don't be shy to reply. Comments are really fun to receive.

Alex doesn't leave until later tonight. Boy do I have plans for her! She is going to do something today she has NEVER done before. As always, everything will be revealed in time, but it's okay for the guessing games to begin.

Ricky in cool, sunny southern Colorado.
