I leave Weds night, and arrive Friday the 13th! Ha!<\/p>\n<p>In case you missed my Creative Nudge Weds, I wanted to let you know that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/\">I&#39;ve posted several photos from my brief visit to Miami<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>My visit to Australia is going to be very busy, but the first 3 days I will be at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aqc.com.au\/\">Melbourne Australasian Quilt Convention<\/a>. I&#39;ll be walking the show, taking lots of photos, and will be very happy to visit with any of you who are also at the show!<\/p>\n<p>Then <a href=\"http:\/\/pamhollanddesigns.typepad.com\/pam_h\/quilting\/\">Pam Holland<\/a> (who is recreating the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bayeux_Tapestry\">Bayeaux Tapestry<\/a>, among many other things!) and I will be doing a quilty girlfriend road trip up the Great Ocean Road. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_search.html?p_keyword=leesa\">Leesa Chandler<\/a> (talented Kaufman designer) will take us to a wildlife park, then I&#39;ll be off to Canberra. As I&#39;ve mentioned before, I&#39;ll be giving a presentation there at the <a href=\"http:\/\/queanbeyanquilters.blogspot.com.au\/2012\/02\/luana-rubin-is-coming-to-queanbeyan.html\">Jerrabomberra Community Centre in Queanbeyan<\/a> on Sat April 21st, and I look forward to meeting many of you there!<\/p>\n<p>The last couple days have had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_main.html?catid=330\">a decidedly French twist,<\/a> although I didn&#39;t plan it that way. Yesterday I had lunch with a single mom who teaches French language and cooking classes, but now wants to open a new French-themed business. Today I went to see the French <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_search.html?p_keyword=opera\">opera<\/a> &quot;Manon&quot; which was a live streaming HD performance from the Met in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_main.html?catid=62\">New York<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The movie theater was PACKED (!) and I ended up sitting down in front where you can&#39;t really see the subtitles, but then I discovered that&#39;s where a bunch of the French-speaking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_search.html?p_keyword=opera\">opera<\/a> lovers had settled. I decided to brush up on my rusty French&#8230; between the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_search.html?p_keyword=opera\">opera<\/a> libretto and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_main.html?catid=68\">whispered francais<\/a> all around me. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_search.html?p_keyword=opera\">opera<\/a> was tres fantastique, and the costumes were magnifique!<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#39;ve got to brush up on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.koalanet.com.au\/australian-slang.html\">Australian slang<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_prod.html?p_prodid=150737\">Happy Passover<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equilter.com\/cgi-bin\/webc.cgi\/st_prod.html?p_prodid=122524\">Happy Easter<\/a>, and Happy Spring!<\/p>\n<strong>Share Post:<\/strong><br><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F351&#038;t=A%20French%20Twist&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F351&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=A%20French%20Twist\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F351&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox\" data-provider=\"pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F351&#038;media=&#038;description=A%20French%20Twist\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pinterest\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/pinterest.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F351&#038;title=A%20French%20Twist\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is kind of surreal that in a few days I&#39;ll be starting my long journey to Australia.
