Our Ricky Tims Super Quilt Sermiar got underway last night to a record crowd at the new Holland Center of the Performing Arts in Omaha, NE. The seminar covers about 20 topics in 15 hours of lecture. In addition, I do a concert. This time I get to perform on a new Steinway D concert grand piano -yipee. Mostly I'm just letting you all know that Alex and I are here along with Libby Lehman and Bob Purcell, the thread guy having a great time sharing our favorite topics with quilters from far and wide -even several Canadians have made it here!

One really great thing is that the host guild, the Omaha Quilt Guild, will be donating their proceeds to the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, NE. The center is near completion and as I understand it, will have a grand opening in March 2009.
