Even though I do not like to fly, it is hard not to appreciate the beauty from up above.
I convinced my sister Amy that she needed to come with me to MQX and I am so glad she came. She was incredible and the best help to me. She even force fed me in the mornings, you'll have to ask her about that. ;-)
I was worried about making sure I had time to adjust to the time difference, so we flew in a day before I was supposed to be there for the Ice Cream Social at MQX. We got a chance to enjoy Boston for a little bit and I thoroughly enjoyed the Boston Tea Party Museum. I love history!
I also love being to enjoy the textures and quilting inspirations that can be found everywhere!
The best part of teaching is being able to quilt! I love being able to share what I know and have my students try it out and gain confidence in their own quilting.
I taught 9 classes at MQX - three hands-on and 6 lecture demo.
I really can't thank you all enough for coming out. I had the best students and they made me feel so welcome. Really, thank you! I am humbled to know that you wanted to take my classes. It's so surreal most of the time to realize where quilting has taken me, but I couldn't have gotten here without the encouragement from all of you. So again, thank you!
I was able to meet Lisa Calle - she is so amazing, talented and really, really nice. So lovely to meet her.
Of course, Helen and Jenny were there and we had the best time together. I seriously love these girls! It was fun having dinner as our sister duo. Let's make it happen again girls at HMQS!
This pizza was a welcome sight after a week of salads and granola bars. It was just what we needed to celebrate the last day of class. Thanks again Amy, you are the best!
I want to come back, seriously. Maybe next year?
In the meantime, I am preparing to leave for Paducah next week. I am sneaking in some quilting too. Watch for my next post on the progress of my newest design, Bohemian.

I enjoyed your class so much! I took one of your lectures and learned a lot! It was a thrill to meet you and Amy. Hope you come back again next year!
Can.Not.Wait.for your class at Paducah!! See you there!!
I will continue to dream of the day when I can have some classes with you.
Looks like really amazing days for you! And the quilt pattern is beautiful!
Greetings, Rike
Awesome scenic photos! Sounds like you had a lot of fun, all worth it!
You and your sister are cuties.... er, I mean, BEAUTIFUL!!!
Your quilting is beautiful too. What wonderful photos of your adventure.
Love always
I just loved, loved, loved my classes with you. Can you tell that I had a great time. You are so down to earth and real and I learned so much from you. You gave me a TON of confidence and although some of my shapes still need work (dang vibrating machine) I at least know how to make the shapes and can't wait to try them on my own machine. Thank you again for everything and I hope to see you back at MQX next year.
A some others I am soon looking forward to take you classes some day in the future. Even though I don't own a LA (yet) I know I will learn a lot.
Lucky lucky all of your who have been in a class with Judi.
Have a lovely weekend before you leave for Paducah. I have always wanted to go there, maybe one day?
It was so wonderful to finally meet you as well. I have admired your quilting for quite some time. You are just as I had imagined... warm, funny and a genuinely nice person. Hope to see you in Salt Lake City
