Dale Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Deloa is such a kind, giving, lovely lady. She came to Ontario this week, and shared her knowlege with us. I just wanted to send her a great big "THANK YOU", and to let everyone know (if you don't already), how wonderful a teacher she is. If you every have a chance to take a class with her, you will have a great time. Thank you so much Deloa. Your new friend, Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dale you are so right! DeLoa sold me my machine and she is such a great teacher. I can't wait to go to Camp Mowana in 2 weeks! I'm sure to learn a whole lot more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Well, I've not met DeLoa in person, but I ordered her books and appliguide and chatted for a while on the phone with her. She is so nice on the phone I can only imagine her in person. One of my "gotta dos" is to take classes from her. Hopefully next year some time. When I got my books in the mail, I noticed that she wrote a personalized note inside the first page. Very nice! Dale, I am glad you had a good training session. Aren't we so fortunate???

Tracey Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi Dale, where in Ontario are you? I live in Little Britain. 45min north of Oshawa. I saw you took classes from Deloa. Where was she? Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi Tracey, You should have been there, Deloa was here for a week of classes. She is such a nice person, and a great teacher. I have sent you an email. Shana, yes we are very fortunate, Deloa was so inspiring & giving.

Carolyn Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Dale and Tracey: I'd have to agree with you, Dale. DeLoa is a great teacher and a lot of fun. I took her classes at Carol's last year, but , unfortunately, couldn't reschedule things to attend this time. I was able to take Karen McTavish's classes this past July in Burlington. Tracey: I'm probably about half an hour from you! I'll send you a U2U. There's not a lot of longarmers in our area, so it's really nice to see someone close. Dale, where in our lovely province do you live? Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi Carolyn, I live in the southern most part of Ontario, my back yard is on the shores of Lake Erie, on the outskirts of Selkirk. It is so beautiful here, the sunrises, sunsets, and what makes it most special, are the people. DeLoa will be back next year, and to others, if you ever have an opportunity to take a class with DeLoa, you will have a wonderrful time, and be even more inspired. Carolyn, I believe we met at Karen's class in July. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Lynne, Oh that is very exciting. Last year was my first time and I had only had my longarm for 5 weeks! It was so much fun and I learned a ton! I can't wait for this year. I leave a week from today. Make sure you introduce yourself. I'm actually horrible with names and faces so you might have to tell me a few times! Rita R. and MRM are coming too. Say a little prayer for Rita as she is in the hospital againg for her COPD but she assured me that no matter she was coming! LOL I wouldn't want to be the doctor that told her she wasn't going!

kimmiequilts Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'd love to go to Camp Mowana, but it's always over or too close to my wedding anniversary. My DH is very supportive of my quilting and fabric addictions but I'm not too sure he'd let me go then! Can you change the week next time???

JoleneK Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Sandra, I looked on your website and didn't see classes for Deloa - Are there any open spots? It would be worth a drive over your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraG Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I thought my sister had put the classes on the website. She has not been in for a few days b/c of dental surgery. I emailed you a pdf of the classes. Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Gamez Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I am at Jessie's house right now and she said hey mom do you want to see what they are saying about you----you guys made me cry. What wonderful friends you all are. I am truly the lucky one to meet all of you. I will be at Carol's next year. We haven't set the dates yet but it will be around the same time and for those going to camp mowana next year. It will be the last week of Sept-first week of Oct. So yes we moved it ahead a couple of weeks and we are having Pam Clarke and Kathy Franks next year come teach. We (Jessie and I) are currently organizing a retreat in Oregon in Feb. Details will be coming soon but e-mail me if there is an interest and I will put you on a list to notify. DeLoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 DeLoa, You deserve it all! You and Dave work so hard to make Camp a good time and we all appreciate it! So when are you going to plan a camp here in upstate NY? I think the Catskills or Adirondacks would make a beautiful place for camp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
