On November 4th & 5th I had the pleasure of speaking at three Quilt Parties at the Vancouver, WA location of Craft Warehouse, about fabric design. (It’s like I have my own “Craft Warehouse Road Show” and I love it!)

What started as 2 groups that met in the store, these avid quilters had to be moved to “Seize the Bagel” 2 doors down about 2-3 years ago because there were too many of them!  Then they had to add a third group – on Wednesday afternoon – because they were worried they might be breaking fire codes at the Thursday afternoon party!

They still fill the store – both physically and with a lot of fun and friendly energy.  I had a wonderful time talking about my business and how fabric concepts go from my head to their sewing machines.  (They even gave me a microphone!  Double fun!)

My favorite part of each party was “Show & Tell”. I remember loving it in kindergarten and was equally enthralled here.  Beautiful quilts and bags and even some baskets were shown and shared.  Amazing!  I’ve had a very hard time working today because I bought a new purse pattern and fabric to sew and I want to get to it… it’s testing my will power!

Thank you to all the women who so kindly listened to me talk, asked great questions and shared wonderful work.  One woman asked for the pattern to make my fabric pie and I will get to it… stay tuned!

Stay positive, creative and upbeat! Maybe I’ll get to come chat with you again in the future.  For now, don’t forget to send me photos of what you create with my fabric so I can share it… based on Show & Tell I’m sure it will be nothing short of amazing!
