Had a great time at Quilt Expo this year. The quilts were of great caliber again this year and there seemed to be more this year than last. Overall the quilts worth the trip to see. I just spent Saturday there and was surprised at the low attendance. Others commented that it was much busier on Thursday and Friday. Met up with some old friends and made new ones as well.
Spent much of the week relaxing from my 6:45AM-3:15PM job. It should slow down soon as most everyone is getting in the back to the normal school day routine. It sure is nice to see the kids again. School was much too quiet over the summer without them.
Spent the day making a sweatshirt jacket with my sister-in-law Debbie that was designed by Dancing Needleworks here in WI. They gave a presentation in August to the WQI (Wisconsin Quilters Inc.) group in Madison on Saturday August 7th and held a class on the 8th for a sweatshirt jacket they especially designed for WQI. Very talented ladies, Tricia Anderson and Margie Posbrig. WQI also had Cara Gulati in as a speaker on Saturday and she taught a workshop on her "Radiant Suns" quilt. It was a great weekend.
WQI is disolving at the end of October. The last meeting will be October 2nd and 3rd. Please check out the website and try to join us in the last hoorah celebrating the many years of service to the Wisconsin Quilting community. The website is www.wisconsinquilters.com. Looking forward to seeing you there.
