trunk show

I did a trunk show in Vitoria yesterday. The group I was presenting to was quite a bit larger than I had anticipated so I had a few butterfly's in my stomach, but the presentation went well I think. At the break when I was selling my patterns someone mentioned that Sue Patten who designed "Alexis' Winter Garden" for Frond design studios was in the audience and was interested in what I had done with some of her fabrics.

 

It was great to meet Sue and get a picture taken together with the quilt I designed.

Classes I will be teaching

 This is the small Lindy bag I will be teaching a class on the large lindy bag at Stitch it Central in Ingersoll in September. They are having an open house Sept. 6, 7, and 8 and I will be there showing my patterns and the classes I will be teaching.

this is my Snail star pattern I will be teaching a class on this as well there is an option to make it longer so it can be used as a table runner

this is the large lindy bag its big enough to hold a laptop but stylish enough to carry anywhere. I use my pink one all the time.
