Rose brought her Crimson Tweed quilt to share with me. She did a lovely job and now is a proud owner of a finished wool quilt.<br />

I love this new wool we have. Wendy has found some very interesting textures for us to play with. The Bullion Knots were stitched with one of my favorite varigated colors of Silken Perle thread.<br />

Late last month I taught three days at Quilt Crossing in Boise, Idaho. The store is co-owned by Patsy and Laura. Laura introduced me to the class saying she took her first class from me in the late 90's. Laura made my 'Saffron Hill' Quilt in that class. My style has changed over the years but it was really nice to reminise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a very exciting weekend for all at Quilt Crossing as they were in the throws of moving to their new store. I did get a sneak preview of the store and I cannot wait to visit again to see their wonderful new space filled with fabric.</div>

I taught two classes the first the 'Peony Bloom Pin Keeper'. It is always a fun class as it is colorful and has many fun elements and textures to the assembly. We embellished with some textural stitches and hand made roving balls.<br />

Sue took Tonye Phillip's and my class in Sisters, OR last year. She has been working hard on her quilt she designed in that class. I always love to see the quilts as they progress.<br />

Sorry for the long silence. My laptop developed the dreaded black screen and it had to take a visit to the Apple Store. All my photos were on it so I had to wait until I received it back to start blogging again. I have been on the road teaching so will catch up with all the wonderful student work over the next few days.</div>

It was fun to get to know and teach with Jane Sassaman, Melinda Bula and Flavin Glover.<br />

I had 12 great students in my class. Each designed a different quilt using wool, cottons, velvets and embellishments. Many were about their life and travels and others picked a theme that appealed to them.<br />

Patsy started this piece with me in a previous class. She was ready for more stitches and layering. It is very fun to see how many students return to my classes to add new techniques and stitches to their pieces. I love to see these evolve.<br />
<br />
My hope is that one day I can teach a 5 day embellishment class were everyone brings an appliquéd piece and we can then spend all the time embellishing with wonderful stitches and fibers. As more and more people return to do my classes I am thinking this maybe feasible in the near future.<br />

What a treat! I have been longing to teach a more involved embellishment class and this weekend I taught a three day class on stitching to 21 enthusiastic like minded quilters here in Colorado Springs. This confirmed to me where I need to focus my time and energy. No more one day workshops just multiday classes where each student can really learn my techniques for wool embellishment and layering.<br />

I always love to see student work. Pam who was in class brought her lovely wall hanging to show me. The picture above is my original pincushion which is in my '12 Pin Keeper' book and Pam enlarged the design using my CD 'Folk Art Dreams' by Electric Quilt Company. My first 5 books are on this CD which contains about 190 original blocks.</div>

I have just returned from a few days in sunny California. I taught a two day leaf class at Beach City Quilt Guild. I love teaching multiple day classes as my students get time to really embellish their pieces with multiple stitches using different threads and ribbons.<br />

We used multiple #8 variegated threads. I am always intrigued by the way these stitch up. You get a really textured look with not too much effort.<br />

We also work with our new Dazzle thread. This thread has a very different texture. It is a thicker thread and looks like little beads when you stitch with it. We have a few colors online and each month we will be featuring a 'New color of the month' February's color in Midnight <a href="http://www.suespargo.com/">www.suespargo.com</a><br />

It was a pity that it poured with rain the day we visited. I did manage to take this great picture of the trunk of one of the trees on the grounds when the rain stopped for a few minutes. Amazing texture and color.</div>

We then drove to La Jolla and were planning to travel all around the area. We must have needed a good sunny break as we settled into seaside life walking and taking in the ocean air and did not budge from this place for 6 days. The sea and bird life was amazing. We spent many hours watching the sea lions, harbor seals and array of birds in the area.<br />

I returned to Ohio and was welcomed with snow and an abundance of work. It is so good to be able to teach on the West coast in the middle of our Ohio winter. It sure makes it easier to deal with.<br />

Red Clover is a fun pattern with three blocks. I used a combination of textural fabrics in my original quilt. The pattern allows for many stitching techniques as well as uses of hand dyed textural fabrics, ribbons and beads.<br />

Many who have a special place in my heart. I taught for a few consecutive years for Amy and Angela at 'Yellow Bird Art' in Iowa. I loved visiting and was very sad when the store closed. I spoke to Angela this week and she shared with me that she was writing this year on her blog about people who have inspired her. I was very flattered to be the first entry. <br />

I am returning home today after teaching in Tennessee. I am so pumped up! My classes and lecture were very well received and I was surrounded by such enthusiastic students for two full days. All creating and stitching using mounds of luscious fibers and of cause great hand dyed wool and velvets. Thank you Wendy for your amazing dyeing!<br />

I love handwork classes the creativity is endless each student sharing and interacting makes the classes even more fun. Everyone interprets stitches differently and we all learn form each other. Most of my students are looking to be creative so they are all able to take some risk. The best part of teaching is I keep learning myself. It just makes my journey even more fulfilling.<br />

She also uses my Folk Art Dreams CD by Electric Quilt and made a smaller version of the center of my Uniontown Square quilt. This fun CD has my first 5 books (about 190 blocks) on it and has endless ways you can create quilts and blocks in all different sizes. It is available on my website <a href="http://www.suespargo.com/books.html">www.suespargo.com/books.html</a><br />

I have been in Portland visiting my son Jason who started school at the Oregon Culinary Institute in late October. As Jason was in school during the day I caught up with two friends here in Portland, visiting fun shopping areas and eating at wonderful local restraunts.<br />

Betty and I go back many years. I taught for her here in Portland 12 years ago when she owner her own quilting store. She has since retired and now teaches many classes at Pioneer Quilts <a href="http://www.pioneerquiltshop.com/">www.pioneerquiltshop.com</a><br />
It so happened that this Saturday was 'Spargonian Play Day' and she ask me to make a quick visit to her class. I was delighted to see all the students working on one or more of my projects. The classroom was full of color!<br />

They were so enthusiastic stitching away on bags, pincushions and many on my Flowerbed Quilt. The store also has a wonderful display of my patterns and many finished projects.<br />

Many thanks Betty and Susan for taking such good care of me while Jason was in school. I love Portland and I am so happy that I now have an excuse to visit.<br />
Jason is doing well and it makes me happier now that I know where he is living and that he is loving school. The added bonus was that I got to sample a couple of good meals that he cook for me in his little studio apartment.<br />
I am flying home tonight and need to now focus on the holidays.<br />
I just can't believe how fast life is passing by!<br />
Take care<br />

I just spent 5 glorious days with Melissa, Sally and Alice in Philadelphia. Melissa relocated to Philly a few months ago and we thought this would be a wonderful place to gather to plan for our upcoming 8th annual 'Workt by Hand' retreat.Which is held in Tipp City, Ohio April 25-28, 2012. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We spent the first couple of day planning for our retreat then we hit the road for a little fun.</div>

In the 1600s this type of embroidery would have been done in professional workshops. The creation of the Plimoth Jacket has led to discoveries about the technology for making threads and spangles as well as about stitching techniques. The project has also resulted in important insights into 17th-century workshop practices, where large numbers of embroiderers (both highly skilled laborers and apprentices learning their trade) would work together to create expensive and decorative clothing like this.</div>

More than 300 people spent over 3,700 hours to create the Plimoth Jacket. Some worked on the silk embroidery and gold plaited braid, while others stitched on the “oes,” the term in use in the 1600s for the round sequins. The project was conceived and managed by Jill Hall, former head of the colonial wardrobe department at Plimoth Plantation. She was aided by a team of experts in embroidery, lace, metal-smithing, and weaving, including <a href="http://www.thistle-threads.com/about/whoweare/index.html" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #003366; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Dr. Tricia Wilson Nguyen</a>, Wendy White, Carolyn Hastings, Mark Atchison, Justin Squizzero, and Denise Lebica.</div>

The sewing, embroidery, and lace were all entirely done by hand. The lace spangles (the tear-drop shaped sequins hanging from the lace) were created using tools made specifically for the project. The tools and techniques replicate those from the 1600s. Even the lining was hand-woven and dyed with natural indigo.</div>

In early November Cathy and I drove to Ontario Canada for my last teaching contract of the year. This little store owned by Jocelyn Chamberlain is the best kept secret in Eastern Canada! It is a haven for the creative minded beautifully decorated and stocked with a wonderful array of knitting yarn and sewing fabrics.<span id="goog_1922405317"></span><span id="goog_1922405318"></span><br />

Jocelyn was a delight and made us feel so welcome. It was fun getting to know her and her lovely friend Linda during the weekend. In class I had 23 students for two days of creative stitching. I began with a trunkshow sharing my quilts and talked about how my travels and my life have influenced these quilts.<br />

It has been a busy few weeks teaching. In early November Cathy and I travelled to Smith Owen in MI with the car loaded with lots of goodies for 3 days of teaching and vending.<br />
As these were mainly embellishment classes we took along all our ribbons, chenilles, silken pearls and seagrasses as well as fun beads and trinkets.<br />
<br />

Also loads of hand dyed wool, velvets and a few kits and cotton packs.<br />
As I have taught here for a few years it is always wonderful to return and spend time with many friends we have made over the years.<br />

I have had a wonderful time here in Calgary. I will be returning next year in September to teach for 8 days. This will be my fifth year teaching at Out of Hand.<br />
It is very special retuning annually as I spend time with many of the same students and I have loved to see each students creative style develop.<br />
Right now I am spending a couple of days with Deirdre at the store playing. On Friday I will be flying to Houston for Quilt Market to meet my daughter Kelly to shop for new and exciting goodies for the website.<br />
Take care<br />

I am here in Calgary teaching for 6 days for my friend Deirdre who owns the wonderful store 'Out of Hand'. <a href="http://www.out-of-hand.com/">www.out-of-hand.com</a> I love teaching here as Deirdre's store is fully stocked with wonderful fibers and textures all of which I use in my own work.<br />

On Thursday and Friday all the students worked on the Pomegranate Table Rug from my 'Crimson Tweed' book. Many started with my wool backgrounds but each personalized their piece with ribbons and fabrics of their own choice.<br />
