Tina, from Seaside Stitches (my quilting partner in crime) and I made a last minute decision this week to go to The Machine Quilter's Expo this year. We usually go every year and take classes, go to the show and buy things we will never use. That last part is an inside joke, but I'm sure some of you may do the same thing. We realize we are suckers for demos. We are drawn in buy the demonstration and we usually end up buying some quilting tool, template or pattern we never use. I think last year's template and pattern I bought are still in the bag!!
Well, we are headed up this morning to the Providence show, so if anyone else is going to be there let me know here and I can get the comments on my phone!!
Click HERE for the link to the MQX Show East. It's a fun show and the quilts are amazing.
Have a great day,

OK, I'd just like to say in my defense that I did open my bag from last year! I attempted to make the woven fabric basket with the stiff interfacing strips and failed miserably! It is still in a heap on a side table waiting... to be finished? put out of its misery? And I bought enough to make two! In support of our joke, my purchase from 2 years ago is still pristine in the package!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go, but will have to miss it again. I will make the NK show, that is close enough that I can drive myself, if I have to.

I went yesterday. Great show, great vendors.
ReplyDeleteI went to the show yesterday (my first quilting show). I also purchased fabric and kits from the Christmas Shoppe that I will probably never use but it was still fun. The way she had her booth set up you wanted to buy it all!!!
