Can You Guess?

Hello everyone!

I took a little trip last week to visit a Statler Sib. I'll give you a few clues and maybe you can guess who it is!

Clue 1: I met her in Overland Park, KS over two years ago at the first SUGAR Conference.

Clue 2: She has a very active blog (always in my sidebar); and is the one who encouraged me to start blogging.

Clue 3: She has lots and lots of bolts of fabric.

Clue 4: These are some favors. But she also loves 30's prints.

Clue 5: Wow, what an array of color of threads she gets to use! She really loves those purples, pinks and lime greens.

 Clue 6: These are some of the half yard bundles that she sells on her on line store.

Did you guess, Jackie from Canton Village Quilt Works?

We had such a great visit last week! It's always fun seeing friends. Make sure you go over and check out Jackie's blog. 

Thank you Jackie for the wonderful visit. I'm looking forward to another and hope that it will be sooner than later. 

Until next time…  
Happy Quilting, Kathy

Announcing Certification

I am so excited. So excited that I have decided to start a blog. I want everyone to know that I have recently received my Creative Studio Trainer certification. This certification allows me to teach other Statler owners how to use the new Creative Studio program.

This has been a wonderful experience.















I attended the Statler Users Group and Representative (SUGAR) conference this past May and took a two day "Train the Trainer" course from Paul Statler (the creator of the Statler Stitcher) and Kim Diamond (Sweet Dream Quilting Studio).

In those two days, I learned the capabilities of the program, gave a presentation on one aspect of Creative Studio (we did not know which aspect we were going to teach until we arrived in the room), and took a very long and involved written exam. When I returned home I was to stitch out a sampler that demonstrated all the aspects of Creative Studio. That sampler was then mailed to Kim Diamond where she in turned reviewed my performance on the presentation, written exam and my sampler.

I love being a Certified Creative Studio Trainer!



Jim and I have been spending time with other Statler stitchers. We attended the first NE SUGAR conference earlier this month in Connecticut. Jackie Kunkel of Canton Village Quilt Works (cvquiltworks.com) organized the get together. Where's Jackie? Where's Jackie's quilt?



Our host were Mark and Janice Roy from the Little Red Quilt House. It was great to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. I can't wait until we convene again. It should be in the spring.

It's time to call it a day.
Until next time, happy quilting.
