Susan Carlson Throwback Thursday: On the Road: Melbourne, Australia
Sandwiched between two blog posts about a recent trip to Australia, this week’s Throwback Thursday takes you back to my first trip Down Under, when I was invited to teach at Melbourn’s Australian Quilting Convention (AQC) in April 2016. That was the year “Crocodylus Smylus” (or Stevie), my 22-foot saltwater crocodile quilt attended the show with me. She made quite a splash as she returned to her homeland, as you’ll see in the post.

On the Road: Calgary, Alberta, Canada—February 2018
At the end of February I returned to Calgary to teach a fabric collage class. Previously, over the course of a few years, I had taught at quilting seminars sponsored by the Sugar Pine Company quilt shop in nearby Canmore—the last being eight years ago. That year sticks in my mind since it was the year of the Vancouver Winter Olympics and this year the Winter Olympics were on again—though not in Canada. One day, I hope to visit the Calgary area when it’s not below freezing.
