Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with my friend Lyric Kinard who happened to be giving a lecture that evening in the suburbs of Chicago at the Riverwalk quilt guild in Naperville. How could I resist not taking a drive out there when she was here all the way from North Carolina. We had tea with Lyric's lovely host Catherine Redford who I first met back in 2008, when I taught a workshop in Naperville.
