UPDATE April 11, 2010 - Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood of CraftSanity wrote a wonderful article about Beth Ann for the Grand Rapids Press. It's currently posted on MLive.

Jennifer also published a new blog on CraftSanity with photos of her interview with Beth Ann. If you scroll to the bottom of the blog, past the sponsors and underneath "Taking Names" you can find a link to download a podcast of the interview. Or you can download the podcast, "CraftSanity episode #116," directly from iTunes.

Beth Ann and June Mears Driedger will be hosting "Storytelling In Fabric" at The Hermitage in Three Rivers, Michigan again. Storytelling in Fabric is a weekend retreat for women who want a safe, nurturing, playful environment to explore our stories through fiber art. Our theme for the 2010 retreats is "Improvising in Life and in Quilts." We will explore improvisational quilting in our projects and improvising in our lives during our reflective small-group time, nurturing our souls with conversations about how we can live in more freedom without fear, and live boldly with courage. The dates for 2010 are June 4 - 6 and November 5 - 7.

E-mail June to be added to the retreat mailing list.

It's not too late to sign up for the fabulous Fabrications Retreat in Southern Michigan, Aug. 29-Sept. 3, 2010 - there will be lots of WONDERFUL classes & there is always a terrific exhibit, too. Just don't sign up for my classes - I've very regretfully had to bow out to deal with some new health concerns.
