| After 37 years of nearly full-time
travel I am growing some roots in a real community, and
have created a studio and workshop center in the award-winning,
historic, LowerTown Arts District of Paducah
Kentucky. Quilting and
design workshops at the Bryerpatch
Studio began in June
2008 and we will announce new workshops as they are scheduled.

noon until 8 pm. Come for either workshop (or both) and
experience the ambiance of our local culture while you
are here.

workshop at the National
Quilt Museum (four blocks away), so if you are coming
for one workshop, you may want to consider attending both.
