Bonnie Beaton hosts another successful workshop at my studio in Sandy Point.
A great group of quilters all eager to learn from Gertie Little
Fogo Island Quilters have just formed their first artisan guild on the island. I am sure you will be hearing more from them in the next few months.

Gertie Little is doing a workshop with quilters from Fogo Island, Sandy Point Quilters Guild and one quilter from Springdale.
This is her display of Fabled flowers she is working on for her exhibit in Grand Falls Windsor during the month of July, 2009
Today she is teaching the group the fabled flower techniques used when making the Marsh Marigold.
Everyone is enjoying themselves.
Coordinating the workshop is Bonnie Beaton, Fabric Scrap Art, and a member of the Sandy Point Quilters Guild

This bouquet goes out to my friends in Fogo Island, hope they are not looking at pack Ice today, and to all my friends and relatives in Cartwight who are anxiously awaiting spring.
Our niece, Sandy has loads of pots ready for flowers in her green house in Cartwright. She would love to have these flowers poking through the ground in her flower gardens in April .
April 24, Leaving Fogo Island
The week has come to an end and I enjoyed my stay but I a ready now to leave and go home. I thought I'd share two pictures of the replacement ferry that took over the transportation for the Farewell to Change Islands to Fogo Island on Friday after their regular ferry broke down on Wednesday. This transportation link is the only one the people have with the mainland of Newfoundland. The ferry is an important part of their lives.
I arrived back in Sandy Point around 11:30 pm on Friday night. The experience was great. Lillian Dwyer and her husband Clem, both are artisans from Fogo Island, were on the ferry (Nonia) with me as we made our way to Farewell. Lillian hooked away and we chatted the whole way making the trip seem short after the 5 hour wait on the dock to get on the ferry.
I have to thank Marcel Penton, Zita Cobb and Gordon Slade who made it possible for me to get on the first ferry crossing on Friday night. Thanks guys!

The weather is clearing in St. John's. Just in time for the 26th Annual Craft Trade Show at the Holiday Inn. If anyone is in the area drop by for a visit. I'll be there ALL day.
My friend Jerry Evans is here this year for the first time. He has some of his amazing work here for shops to pick up as a new line for the summer.
I'll have some pictures for my next blog.
Tom is all set up with his wholesale line. Of course I am looking at the earrings. Guess I need another pair.

Tracy Keats just excels in her design work. Her bakeapple ring was quite impressive but the photography was not so I will leave that picture for another time.
