Successful RCTQ Meet-up in Michigan!

A few tired feet later... Meeting at the American Sewing Expo in Novi was a success. I think we
left a few vendors smiling as well!

Gen (from Ohio), Jeanne (from New Zealand), Denny (from Indiana), Crystal (from Ohio) and me (from
Michigan) all managed to find each other and enjoy each others company. We enjoyed lunch together
and were treated to a little show-and-tell from Gen -- who brought an unbelievably beautiful project
that is under way. From a class she took at the Viking store here in Ann Arbor -- this is an
appliqué project that utilizes not her embroidery machine -- but the variety of stitches on her
regular machine. Done in beautiful purples and greens -- with metallic gold accent "embroidery"
(done by sequencing regular fancy stitches). We were all just plain gobsmacked!

I also had the pleasure of sharing my family with Gen & Jeanne last night. They met my crazy puppy
as my DH and DS#3!!!

Anyhow -- too late tonight -- but tomorrow morning I will post a few pictures on my webshots group
of the 5 of us -- and one picture of Gen with her project. (intended to do it tonight -- but fell
asleep in my chair -- which I almost NEVER do -- guess shopping all day really wore me out! I need
to practice more!

Anyhow... another SUCCESSFUL meet-up!

Kate,

It was so nice to meet you guys and put faces with the names. Enjoyed a
great lunch. Next time anyone gets a chance to go to a meet up, take
advantage of the opportunity, we are really all nice

Words can't describe how pretty Gen's wip looked!!!!! Looks embroidered
in glittery gold, but just regular fancy stitches. That's one finished
product I will travel to see!

Howdy!

Gorgeous project from Gen. Whew!

Of course, you're no slouch in the quilt dept, either, Denny.
And you're taller than I imagined. g

Cheers!
