OUR CLASS WAS FUN!

We had a great time being together this weekend. Lots of laughing. The Chicago Quilt Exposition (in Schaumburg) was a good show. Turnout was rather light, but this was the first year at that site. Next year attendance should pick up! Our class on Friday was interesting. It is always good when you can walk away from a class and feel like you learned something. Here is a photo of Ann's 3D flower. Obviously, it is unfinished....it will look lots better with stamen, leaves and a stem. We really enjoyed the class and look forward to using this technique again. On Saturday we did a book signing for "Scraps of Time" and "A Shortcut to Drunkard's Path." We signed a total of six books. Considering the turnout was very light, we were pleased with that. The great part about the book signing was sitting next to USA Today Bestselling Author Emilie Richards, who was also autographing books. Emilie is the author of 61 books (with more on the way). She writes the Shenandoah Album series.....Wedding Ring, Endless Chain, and Lover's Knot. Of course, we forgot to bring our camera and don't have a photo to show of us with Emilie. We had such fun chatting with her that our time just flew by. We bought six of her books and had her autograph them for us.
