A quick look back before forward to 2020 from Nestlings By Robin

Hard to believe 20 years have

passed since this crew was

together for a new year, decade,

century, millennium!!

We were stationed in Puerto Rico

for 2000 and what a party!

January in Florida is prime

'drink and a nosh on the water' time:)

February was full of appraisals-yay!

March was more hockey watching

the Bolts kick some ass

(before imploding later in the season).

Wearing my new awesome fingerless

gloves my mom made for me:)

I find them so comfortable for

handwork too.

April brought a new adventure working

the Connecting Threads booth in Paducah

with this crazy ...

Living History Series from Nestlings By Robin

Coming in 2020 (SO WEIRD to write that!)

I will introduce my Living History Series

of workshops for guilds to book in 2021.

How interested would you be in

seeing and touching and learning

about a 100+ year old

quilt and then making a small updated

reproduction of that same quilt?

That is what we will be

doing in each 3 hour class.

You aren't out a lot of time

or money and you get to

be a part of our quilting ancestry!

If you are super excited about

this idea, keep an eye out

for Houston next year ...

My Energy is back-FINALLY from Nestlings By Robin

During my November craziness,

I came down with a cold.

Then I got better....

Then it came back....

WHAT IS THAT???

I don't think I have ever had

a cold come back but in a bit

weaker strain.

Very Frustrating to say the least.

Yesterday I felt I turned a corner

just in time to finish one deadline.

Now to start on my submissions

for Houston Festival so I

can see this lovely city

again in the Fall.

Do you have a technique or class

you would like to take?

Are you interested in reproductions

of 1800s quilts?

Miniatures ...

Arriving in Houston and my first time going alone without my
