In an instant lives are changed forever, with Stem Cell Research we can turn back time. It's too late for us, but there are millions of others that need this.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I'm back, a little bit

And I think I know what happened to my photo's when they wouldn't post. Amazing what a little R&R will do for you. Or perhaps it was the alcohol fuzz?
Regardless, we had a blast in SF, the weather was beautiful, the shopping fun and the wine available. More to come when I have a chance to transfer my photo's to my computer.
For now, here're a few pic's from Novi. Long overdue, but still fun.
First, a quiet shot before the hustle and bustle of the day began. Classrooms were in the black r0oms on both sides. Beside and a little away from the exhibitions so it was fairly quite and roomy.
Second, are a couple (um, or so) quilt photo's. The Expo wasn't primarily quilting, but there were lots of pretty ones featured and I took pics of my favs.
One of the prettiest booths with lots of buttons and ribbons and trim, oh my!
Of course, THE KING! He's showing us his patch pocket in the works. He showed us how to do this and gave us a pattern. Mine turned out quite nicely, thank you.
And the haul. Much smaller than I thought it would be, some stay tape for knits, a marking pencil and a fix for my foot fettish. And the purse organizer I SERGED.
And finally, what NOT to buy at a sewing Expo. You all have seen those gathered, puffy, one-size-fits-all-because-it-stretches-from-XXXS-to-Car-Cover? Well, here they are, in all available colors. And doing quite the business, I might add.

    It looks as if you had a very good and educational trip.

    I saw the " car covers" at the American Sewing Expo and I imagine you did also. Really, who looks good in them except super-thin very young ladies? And yet--who is buying them? I dislike the classrooms lined up with black curtains. It looks like that's how the classrooms are at most sewing events. Still, what fun a show is!

    It's the alcohol fuzz. But nice photos anyhoo. So when are you going to spit out an award winning quilt? Winter's coming...

    I agree 100%! That nostalgic booth was my favorite last year, too (buttons in mason jars just scream "Buy Me")! And I also laughed (on the inside) when I saw the booth with the weird puffy fabric and garments. My haul took up more space than yours, but looks like you have lots of goodies!
