My girlfriend Joan and I are hitting the road Saturday for a long awaited trip to The Elly Sienkiewicz Applique Academy in Williamsburg, Virginia! This is my first time, not only to TESAA, but to Williamsburg, so I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm taking three classes, and I got my first choice for all of them! I have classes with Elly, Rita Verroca, and guest teacher Jan Parks, who is doing a class on Baltimore Album architectural blocks.
We are first going to Ohio to see a couple of textile exhibits at Kent State University Museum, and then on to Williamsburg a day early to site-see before classes start. I can't wait to see the Material Witnesses quilt exhibit at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum.
I'll have lots to blog about, and hopefully I can do a few posts along the way. If not, I'll see you all when I return!
While I'm away, you'll have time to check out the new fabric lines from The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum.

I was so inspired by your post. I'm envious of all the cool places and classes you'll be attending! Your post led me to watch all the Kent State videos on the exhibits. It was fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing and we all look forward to hearing about your adventures!
I know you are going to have a wonderful time and will look forward to reading the future posts. Meantime I will just have to content myself with Elly's DVDs. Take care.
