On the Road

Welcome to the Home of Happiness! Dairy Queen.

Casa Bonita Denver

Ole! Happy Birthday dimensional paper card created by my sister.

Scenes from daily walks along the Rocky Mountain foothills.

August was a month of cocooning and catching up on the home and office front. No travel, at least that was my intention. By yearend, I will have given nearly 70 SCHMETZ classes either in-person or virtually. I’m jazzed that people want to know more about needles. I love giving SCHMETZ classes especially when attendees share their "aha" moments when the perceived mystery of sewing machine needles is unveiled.  


During my time off, I unexpectedly took a trip to the Denver area to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. After a yearlong request for a reservation at Casa Bonita Denver, my sister received an invite to use it by month's end. Lucky for me, she booked a table during my birthday week. What a treat! As a kid, I remember the excitement when my parents took my sister and I to the iconic pink venue. The newly rejuvenated Casa Bonita did not disappoint. The whole Casa Bonita evening was delightful with cliff divers, food, (including their famed sopaipillas), a live Mariachi band, and a spirit of magical fun shared by everyone. After a week in Colorado, I’m feeling reenergized, focused, and ready to go. Will I see you in a SCHMETZ class yet this year? I hope so. Let’s sew!

Sew SCHMETZ & Grabbit® Too!
