Planning for 2012

2011 was a GREAT SHOW. You came, you shopped, you attended classes, you enjoyed the special events and YOU SENT ME AN EMAIL!! LOL...HEY -- thanks for BEING THERE.


THANKS for sewing over 2300 pillowcases for the sick children of Mary Bridge...As we move into the planning stages for the 2012 show -- we just HAVE to do the pillowcase challenge again, don't you think?
But it does get more difficult to "top ourselves" every year. If you attended the Quilter's Night Out -- you know what an inspirational evening it was with Ricky Tims. I don't think I'll ever forget that night...


We know how much you ALL look forward to the Sewing & Stitchery Expo -- here are two best friends, Helen and Wendy. Remember their story? They met when their kids were in preschool -- sewing brought them together. Now, Wendy comes to Puyallup every year all the way from North Carolina (I might be putting her in the wrong Eastern state?)...
Any ideas for next year's show? Here I am, on Sunday afternoon, having a chat with one of our BRAND NEW VENDORS -- Kwik-Sew. This was their first year at Sew Expo -- and they were very impressed!!

So -- what can they do for 2012? Maybe they'll teach some new classes? Have a challenge? Sponsor a style show? Their kids patterns are so awesome...hummm...

Believe me -- ALREADY IT STARTS!! We are planning next year's show right now, even as you read this...

I'll keep you posted!!
