On the Road

SCHMETZ: What Needle Do I Use?

Quality Sewing and Vacuum, Mt Vernon WA. 

I returned today to the office from a delightful week in the great Northwest. I have a fondness for this beautiful part of the country from many trips to the impressive Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup WA. Besides glimpses of majestic Mt Rainer, I appreciate the natural jewels of lush woods, fresh air, and friendly, generous, and creative sewing friends.

 

At the invitation of Quality Sewing & Vacuum, I gave multiple SCHMETZ presentations in the Seattle area. Besides giving my traditional lecture, I provided a bonus show and tell. This peek into a few personal sewing and quilting projects was new and a test. It was a hit! Attendees enjoyed seeing pieces of my creative stitch journey.  


Over the next few days, I will be posting travel pics on my personal blog at www.sewmorestitches.com. I am also gearing up for a trip to Canada with my Sew Very Easy buddy, Laura Coia, and then mid-month SCHMETZ lectures at Sewing and Quilting Expo in Dallas. Will you be there? Take my SCHMETZ lecture, then drop by to say hello while I'm in the Sew It Up booth.
