Free NOONER Events

Two of the biggest fans of this blog are Bonne Swett and Jan Potter. If the Sewing & Stitchery Expo had a Fan Club -- they would be elected CO-PRESIDENTS. No doubt about it. They've been coming to Expo for many years, it's their big GIRLFRIEND WEEKEND and to amp up the energy -- they did a "challenge" with each other. The "reveal" would take place the morning they left for the show.



One of their favorite Expo teachers -- Linda McGehee -- loved the idea of their challenge and last year -- she brought it to the Expo Stage. Linda did the narration of their EXPO CHALLENGE event. Were you there? It was amazing...to see what two very different sewing artists do, given the SAME fabric, or the SAME pattern or technique. It was fascinating.

This year -- their event will be the KICK OFF NOONER EVENT. On Thursday -- THE OPENING DAY -- Jan and Bonne will be on the Expo Runway with their brand new "Inspired 2 Sew -- The Challenge of 2 Friends"...

It's at 12:30 on THURSDAY (as the professional models allegedly eat lunch)...



I'd like to take this opportunity to THANK JAN AND BONNE for helping me to launch this show blog. Their initial enthusiasm kept me going -- on days when it felt like nobody was reading it. They'd send me emails, encouraging notes, and, of course -- it was THEIR IDEA that I start the show blog with a RECYCLED JEANS CHALLENGE...




REMEMBER -- ON FRIDAY -- FEBRUARY 26 -- THE SECOND DAY OF THE SHOW -- IS RECYCLED DENIM DAY. WEAR YOUR RECYCLED BLUE JEANS...
