Teresa, Linda, Susie, Terri Brewer, Tonia and I attended the sewing expo this weekend and it was great fun. We each attended various workshops or seminars and learned a little in each one. I gained a lot of information as to how to actually go about the process of machine quilting and bought a tool for marking the designs and learned how to set up the machine. I will have to do some experimenting. I also got some ideas for baby gifts for showers coming up for ladies at work (there are three pregnant and one newborn at work). I learned two techniques for quilting the quilts in smaller strips or pieces and then putting them together which makes the quilting process easier on the home machines.
Saturday evening we had a birthday gathering with Linda, Susie, Terri and Jonathan and Tonia, Chris and myself. We had a rousing time playing telephone pictionary. Meanwhile Laura and Teresa were at Laura's dorm at the Experience Moyer project which sounds like it was a sucess with over 400 people attending. Check out Laura's blog for pictures of the poodle skirt Tonia made Laura.
Chris hung out with Laura and then Tonia and Laura while we were at the expo. He did a lot of shopping which is unusual for him but he enjoyed it. We did get to see Jonathan for a little bit (they released him from work for a few hours). We hope he will regain his freedom soon for his sake.
All in all it was a great trip. When can we do it again?
