March was a busy month for Ricky with a quick jaunt to Dubai for the International Quilt Show-Dubai followed by a fantastic time at the Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminar in Hot Springs, AR! Check out the winners of the Dubai Quilt Show here. Ricky had a fantastic time teaching four master class sessions to about 80 students on one day and the privilege of judging their show on the next. His co-judge was Ina Meyer from South Africa. Dubai is a multi-cultural city with a tremendous number of Ex-pats working there. See Ricky's blog for more photos!
From the desert to the Ouachita Mountains in less than a week! Woohoo!!!! Our Super Quilt Seminar in Hot Springs, Arkansas might be history, but the memories and fun we had are sure to remain for many years. We appreciate the support of the host guild, Hot Springs Area Quilt Guild, and the presence of Hickory Hill Quilts. Alex Anderson and Melinda Bula were guest presenters.
Day One: Registration begins and the doors open (left) and The Great "Strip Race" (right).
Ricky, Alex and Melinda answer audience questions.
