Back to the Land of Ice and Snow

I have just returned from my Superior School of Threadology Seminar in St. George, Utah. It was so nice to have warm weather and no snow or ice for a few days! Have a look a some of the spectacular scenery we saw every day!

Graduation Day

We have just returned from our Graduation Ceremonies at the Superior School of Threadology. Everyone received a certificate granting us our PHD in Threadology. We even had appropriate graduation music throughout the event.

Thanks to Bob and Heather Purcell, owners of Superior Threads, and all their staff for an absolutely amazing 3 day seminar. I never knew there was so much to learn about thread!

Check out the Superior Threads Blog to see all the pictures from our last 3 days.

Superior School of Threadology: Day 2

Yesterday we spent the day playing with the wonderful variety of threads manufactured by Superior Threads. What a great experience! I had no idea there were so many different threads out there. What was even more important, we learned how to adjust tension settings and choose the correct needles for all the different threads.

Today's class focused on using a new product called Texture Magic. By stitching on it, you can create instant texture on your fabric. Pictures coming soon!

Greetings from St. George, Utah

We have just arrived here in Utah for the Superior School of Threadology Seminar. The scenery is breath-taking! We had a 2 hour drive from Las Vegas to St. George through desert and mountains. Pictures coming soon!

We even had time this afternoon to visit the Scrap Apple Quilt Shop here. They are celebrating their 3rd anniversary and are having a big sale of everything in the shop. Needless to say, we found a few fabrics we just couldn't live without! Shirley, the shop owner, even drove us back to our hotel after we finished shopping so we wouldn't have to call a taxi. Now, that is service! You can check out Shirley's web site here to see some pictures of this wonderful shop.

Classes start tomorrow. Watch for a daily update of what we are learning!

The Superior School of Threadology

Next week I will be heading for Saint George, Utah, to attend the Superior School of Threadology sponsored by the Superior Thread Company. It will be so nice to get away from the snow, cold and ice for a few days!

Superior has just started a Blog, so be sure to check it out and learn more about this great company. Here is a picture of their head office in Utah.

Watch for more information and pictures from this exciting event on my Blog during the next few days.

The Superior School of Threadology

In February I will be attending the "Superior School of Threadology" seminar in St. George, Utah. This 3-day intensive training seminar, focusing on threads of all kinds, is sponsored by the Superior Thread company. There will be participants from Canada, England and 12 U.S. states.

We will be receiving "thread therapy" from Dr. Bob (Purcell), president and owner of Superior Threads. We will also see Mother Superior's Trunk Show and there will be an open Thread Bar. Then we will have the opportunity to tour the Superior Threads warehouse.
