aHHH
I am happy to say that my poison ivy is finally over!
I won't torture you with pictures. It has only taked 3 rounds of Prednidoze to make it fade ( I am now on step down for 3 more days)
Things I learned.
Posion Ivy can grow in trees, hence end up in your bark mulch delivery
Day time TV is bad
You can read yourself into numbness
I scratch in my sleep
The ooze from posion ivy is NOT contagious, but is gross
I was not able to Quilt for almost 4 weeks, but over the weekend I was able to get caught up on my schedule and have some fun

POSION IVY
Life has thrown a monkey wrench at me.
My old friend posion ivy has come to visit again. As a child I got a severe case of posion ivy every summer/fall. It was always very bad. I would get shots for it and still get it.
My husband and I did landscaping, trimming, weeding and bark mulch over the Memorial Day weekend. Monday afternoon the itch started, thought nothing of it, bug bites. I had not had posion ivy in over 18 years. Tuesday moring I was sure my nemesis was here in force. One doctor visit and 3 prescriptions later; we are down for the count for the rest of the week. Needless to say, no quilting was going on. Nothing to make me sweat or get warm. God, was I ITCHY. I am still ITCHY; but on the mend. Needless to say my husband has lost his landspacing help.

Not alot of quilting going on here in the house. We finally have spring here !
I had a wonderful education/inspiration time at MQX.
My favorite teacher this time is Bethanne Graves Nemesh. I was very impressed with her class. She was in a class room where all the walls where white boards (now I want to paint all the walls in my studio with this stuff), and she drew out all the designs and stepped us through them all. At first sight I thought, on no! as she was dress very polished and professional; little did I know this was her first teaching experience. My first thought was that she was one of those people you run into that are stuck on themselves, especially after winning so many ribbons. But no ! to my delight I was completely WRONG! Bethane is a very inspring and information person, very willing to share her thoughts and ideas. It was a wonderful class and a delight to hear her tell you to let go of some things and wait to see it you could still see that little wobble later.
My best class about Modern quilting was with Jodi Robinson. I have seen may of her quilts and books but never thought of her techiques as something I could do. She also was very willing to draw you through all her desgins (and more than once). She had many great ideas and tips that were not part of the quilt supply store, often this make things less expensive. :). With the ideas, instruction and inspiration from Jodi, I now feel that I can do justice to a modern quilt.
