Building the GRID

You have NO DOUBT figured out that there's a whole crew of people working on the Sewing & Stitchery Expo 365-days-a-year. One of the REALLY BIG JOBS is putting together the "GRID".....which is happening right now. Teachers from all over the country have sent in their "pitches". The next step is choosing a varied class schedule...something old, something new...well -- you can imagine...

Oh my...

This gargantuan job falls to Ann Sagawa and Joanne Ross...


Of course, they have Janet York...who keeps records of EVERYTHING...and has the uncanny ability to actually FIND IT when we NEED IT...

Another capable helper -- this is a GREAT picture of our Emily...who brings a fresh, young attitude and viewpoint to the show...

And, I'm on call 24 hours a day...often sending emails from my Iowa Lazy-Boy at 3:00 AM.....
And -- YES -- THERE MUST BE COFFEE. LOTS AND LOTS OF COFFEE...
