The Castle<\/p><\/div>\n

I just returned from a wonderful week-long teaching trip to Temecula and Fallbrook, California. First of all it was nice to get away from the New England weather for a bit and I had some fun surprises along the way. One surprise was the fun of staying at The Castle, in Temecula. Now, some of you may know that I have been dubbed the \u201cQueen of Paper Piecing\u201d so finally staying in a castle type building was so much fun. First, Suzanne, the inn keeper is a quilter! She and Victor make everyone very comfortable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The grand staircase<\/p><\/div>\n

I was lead up the grand staircase to my room. There are lots and lots of rooms. You see, Suzanne also puts on Quilters weekends and retreats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Straw ceiling<\/p><\/div>\n

I was there several days before I looked up and saw the straw ceiling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The lock for my room....I was safe!<\/p><\/div>\n

Although it took a bit of instruction how to unlock my room\u2026it was fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Everything was huge!<\/p><\/div>\n

I taught two days of classes for the Valley of the Mist Quilt Guild in the sewing room that adjoined the castle and then we would all come out for lunch around noon time.<\/p>\n

If you are ever in the area, it is a fun place to stay. You can contact Suzanne with an inquiries at suzanne@quiltersutopia.com<\/p>\n

My Fallbrook view...<\/p><\/div>\n

However, I guess I am getting a bit ahead of myself. Before I went to Temecula, I was in Fallbrook for the Fallbrook Quilt Guild. I am always constantly amazed at the home that hang off the edge of the hills. On this trip, I was at the top of the hill and so on the edge. I survived though and actually began to enjoy living on the edge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Visions outing<\/p><\/div>\n

I did have a down day where I had the opportunity to connect with some friends and visit Visions\u2026.love those \u201cme\u201d days!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Show and Tell at the Valley of the Mist Quilt Guild in Temecula<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh yeah\u2026I was there to lecture and teach. Here are some happy students showing of their Sunrise projects!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This one is even quilted...what no binding?<\/p><\/div>\n

Until next time\u2026..<\/p>\n
