This wonderful young man is our son David who joined us for a weekend of fun at the QSC Reno show this past weekend. I was teaching three classes, so he decided to lend his Dad a helping hand in the booth. I am sure it is not often that booths are literally MANNED at quilt shows! We had a great time and David and Oliver now have some new stories to tell.
A thank you to all of my students who took classes from me in Reno! I am proud to say that the quilting world now has 12 new applique converts. Also a big thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth and looked and shopped.
