Life has been a little busy lately! I've been madly dashing from one event/signing/class/show/something to the next since the store closed on March 31. Last week was International Quilt Market in Pittsburgh. I was there at the behest of
C&T Publishing for the release of
Art Quilts at Play. My co-author,
Elin Waterston, and I signed books (at the Checker Distributors and United Notions booths), spoke to scads of people about it, taught a workshop on one of the techniques, demonstrated a few more in the C&T booth, taped a demo and an interview plus I had a booth as the
Country Quilter. My mom and I had four new patterns between us and were busy connecting with old and new customers.
at the C&T booth
at the United Notions boothOf all of the convention centers I've been to (quite a few), my favorite architecturally is the
David L Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. The food there was really awful, the hotel was terrible (Sheraton Station Square), but the convention center was gorgeous.


Country Quilter boothI met a lot of internet friends - from different lists and from Facebook - isn't that the best? It was a wonderful week, although it's
really good to be home! No more traveling or running for a while, time to catch up to myself.
